WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

That would just be vulgar, but our lives, and those of the animals which we look after, would be a damn sight easier if we receive more donations to our fighting fund. Donate via Paypal today...

Sixth Diamondback Terrapin Symposium - Abstract Submission Open


Plans are well underway for the 6th Symposium on the Ecology, Status & Conservation of the Diamondback Terrapin to be held at St. Christopher Camp and Conference Center on Seabrook Island, South Carolina from September 13-15, 2013. We are planning an exciting meeting at a great location right on the beach!

We are now welcoming abstracts for oral and poster presentations.  Abstracts should include a title, complete list of authors, and an abstract body of no more than 250 words.  Please include affiliations for all authors and indicate the presenter with an asterisk (*).  Please follow the formatting of the sample abstract attached to this email.

Abstracts should be submitted electronically to terrapin2013@davidson.edu.
Include in the subject line Abstract Oral or Abstract Poster followed by the first and last name of the lead author (e.g. Abstract Oral – Dorcas).  We may have more requests for oral presentations than we can accommodate and thus, some who submit as oral presentation may be invited to present as a poster.  

Deadline for abstract submission is June 7, 2013.  Registration is not required for abstract submission but will be required for final acceptance.

Early registration will be open from June 7 – July 15, 2013 with regular registration from July 15 – August 15, 2013.  Capacity is limited, so register early!  We expect registration fees to be below $75.  See http://www.bio.davidson.edu/terrapin2013 for more information regarding transportation and lodging at Camp St. Christopher as well as a tentative meeting agenda. 

We look forward to seeing you in September!
