INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION
This meeting is being organized under the auspices of the American
Society of Mammalogists (ASM), Societas Europaea Mammalogica (SEM),
and Sociedad Espanola para la Conservacion y el Estudio de los
Mamiferos (SECEM). The main goals of this Congress are to promote
holarctic mammalogy, cooperation among European and North American
mammalogists, and further the development of and cooperation among
national Mammal Societies.
LOCAL ORGANIZATION
The Euro-American Mammal Congress is being organized by the University
of Santiago de Compostela (USC), through its Colleges of Biology and
Pharmacy, as well as the Consejeria de Agricultura, Ganaderia y Montes
of the local Government (Xunta de Galicia) through the medium of its
Direccion General de Montes y Medio Ambiente Natural.

+........................+
The meeting will focus on all biological aspects of Holarctic=20
mammals. However, contributions of interest relating to mammals from
other regions also will be welcomed.
Contributions could be made in the form of poster or oral
presentations, and they will be grouped in 8 General Sessions, 24
Symposia and 3 Workshops listed below. Abstracts of ALL presentations
(oral, poster, invited contributions to Symposia, Workshops, General
Sessions) will be submitted to the Congress Secretariat before the
deadline of MARCH 16. See full details below.
SYMPOSIA AND WORKSHOPS
Oral presentations in one of the 24 Symposia or 3 Workshops mostly
will be restricted to invited presentations, although there will
always be space for poster contributions. Participants wishing to
present their work in one of the Symposia or Workshops should get in
contact directly with the conveners, who would decide about acceptance
as oral or poster presentation. Because space available in each
Symposium or Workshop is limited, interested participants should get
in contact as soon as possible with the respective conveners. See the
full list of Symposia and Workshops below. You cannot submit
contributions to Symposia and Workshops without previous approval of=20
the respective conveners.
GENERAL SESSIONS
Free contributions and those not considered suitable for one of the
specialized Symposia or Workshops will be accommodated in 8 General
Sessions, which are open to oral and poster presentations. Time for
oral presentations in General Sessions may be insufficient. In case of
shortage of time slots for oral papers, the Scientific Committee will
decide whether a presentation will be given as oral or poster. You
will be notified by MAY 15 regarding acceptance of your paper as oral
or poster.
There will be 8 General Sessions:
1. Behavioural Ecology
2. Conservation, Population Genetics
3. Community Ecology
4. Population Dynamics
5. Wildlife Management
6. Systematics, Evolution, Paleontology, Biogeography
7. Morphology, Development, Physiology
8. Natural History, Parasites and Diseases
ORAL PRESENTATIONS
Conveners of Symposia and Workshops will decide about the time
available for each oral presentation, ranging from 15 to 30 minutes.
In General Sessions, time will be limited to a total 15 minutes, which
will include 12 minutes for the talk followed by 3 minutes for
discussion. Remember the time constraint and carefully choose what you
want to say; limit your slides to the number necessary to deliver that
message. You may find a list of useful tips for oral presentations in
the Congress WWW page or by anonymous FTP to ftp.csic.es in the
directory pub/eamc filename: oral_tps.txt
POSTER PRESENTATIONS
There will be two Poster Sessions on the afternoon of July 21 and
July 23 with no concurrence from oral presentations. Space provided
for each poster is 1.8 m high by 1.2 m wide. Poster materials should
be mounted on the board using thumb tacks. A limited supply of thumb
tacks will be on hand. However, presenters should bring their own to
be safe. The title, author(s), and affiliation(s) should be printed
across the top of the poster in characters of at least 2.5cm high. We
recommend to include a copy of the submitted abstract in the poster.
You may find a list of useful tips for poster presentations in the
Congress WWW page or by anonymous FTP to ftp.csic.es in the directory
