abstract submission
The deadline for abstract submission is 1 November
2010.
All abstracts will be reviewed for relevance to the conference
theme and for content. We reserve the right to turn down
submissions. Unsolicited papers are open for submission as
posters. Preference will be given to papers focused on
Gyrfalcons, ptarmigan, their competitors, and/or their prey.
Papers may be based on empirical research or reviews of
published data, and should offer special consideration of either
measured, predicted, or modeled effects of: climate change,
environmental contamination (e.g., persistent pesticides, PCBs,
brominated fluorocarbons, heavy metals, etc.), development and
resource extraction (e.g., oil, gas, minerals, fisheries, sea
transport, etc.), emerging diseases (e.g., avian influenza, West
Nile virus, etc.), or other anthropogenic or natural
environmental changes.
Writing your Abstract
Please note that abstract titles should not exceed 100
characters (including spaces), and abstracts should be less than
2500 characters (including spaces). We reserve the right to edit
abstracts for punctuation and grammar.
Your abstract should contain 2-3 sentences of basic-level
introduction to the area of study; a brief account of the
background and rationale of the work; a statement of the main
conclusions (introduced by the phrase 'Here we show' or its
equivalent); and 2-3 sentences putting the main findings into
general context so it is clear how the results may affect other
researchers or the field in general.
