SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME
English will be the official language for all oral and poster presentations.
The aims of this conference are to bring together experts in Cervids (with emphasis on the Genus Cervus) from all over the world to present and discuss their latest work. A wealth of studies have been recently carried out or are in progress on the genetics, ecology and behaviour of the Genus Cervus. Some of these are still unpublished and their results could stimulate interesting discussions. Furthermore, the correct management for conservation or hunting of some Cervus species calls for sound – possibly novel – information on their biology: participants are especially encouraged to present their results on the relationships between management and biological issues.
The Congress will include oral and poster presentations.
