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!
