The Western Section of The Wildlife Society
2022 Annual Meeting Online Abstract Submission
February 7 - 11, 2022
Peppermill Resort Reno
IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL


The Call for Papers has now closed, however we have space for a few more posters so we will leave the submittal site open until those poster session slots have been filled.

The oral sessions are full, though you are welcome to submit an abstract which will be added to our waiting list in case there are any cancellations to fill as the meeting date approaches.

Please fill out the form below to submit your abstract for the 2022 Annual Meeting. Please know that submitting an abstract does not imply acceptance or a guarantee of a place in the program. Some submitted papers or posters will likely not be accepted because they may not be suited to the conference, encounter scheduling problems, or have other issues. Decisions to accept or not accept papers or posters are solely the responsibility of the Program Committee. The committee expects that your co-authors are aware of and have approved this abstract. We will finalize our oral and poster presenters by the 1st week of December and all who submitted abstracts will be notified of their status at that time.

Presenters in oral and poster contributed sessions will be able to choose either the in-person or the virtual option. All presenters will be able to change their presentation mode until January 2022 (subject to availability for the in-person posters which depends on available space). If you present a poster or oral presentation, you must pay the appropriate meeting registration fee.

Regarding Covid 19 For those who join us in Reno -- We will follow all safety protocols as required by the State of California, the State of Nevada, and the CDC. The guidance currently requires that all people must wear a mask at all times while indoors. The guidance may change and we will communicate any changes as they happen. The Western Section will require that all in-person attendees be fully vaccinated, and we will require proof of vaccination status.
