CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
OVERVIEW:
The International Deer Biology Congress (IDBC) aims at uniting professionals interested in deer biology, management and production, to provide a forum to discuss common challenges, and share knowledge and experiences. Some of the major topics covered include general deer biology and ecology, evolution, genetics, management, in-situ and ex-situ conservation, veterinary aspects, domestic deer farming, antler biology, and antler and venison production. The conservation biology of cervids will derive important benefits from activities related to deer production. The IDBC allows new relationships to be formed and hopefully sparks new endeavors in cervid research, conservation, management and production.
The next Congress will be held
August 5 – 10, 2018 in Estes Park, Colorado, USA, and the Planning Committee is currently seeking abstracts for presentations. Suggested topics could pertain, but are not limited to: ecology, population dynamics, management, conservation of endangered species, overabundance, disease, movement and spatial ecology, human and deer conflict, physiology, nutrition, and predation. Other related topics are also welcome.
