There is less than 3 weeks until our early registration deadline. Our exciting list of internationally-known invited speakers is Ken Burnham, Anne Chao, James Clark, Jim Nichols, Shirley Pledger, Roger Pradel, and Carl Schwarz. We will have contributed papers sessions for which we invite abstracts in the areas of mark-recapture methods, distance sampling methods, other abundance estimation techniques, monitoring of biodiversity, survey design and analysis for estimating population trends, modelling of spatial trends in animal density, integrated population modelling, stochastic population dynamics modelling, stochastic multispecies modelling, and stochastic modelling of animal movement.
The conference will be held in St. Andrews, 9-11 July 2008, just prior to the International Biometrics Congress in Dublin. Early registration deadline 30 April 2008.
