This meeting provides an excellent opportunity for students and professionals working on wildlife research or habitat management in Florida to present results of recent research, talk about ongoing monitoring efforts, discuss collaborations, and share ideas. A symposium on Wednesday afternoon will include presentations on the theme: Success Stories from Invasive Species Management. Our overall meeting theme relates to invasive species, but all types of presentations are welcome to be submitted. We will have tracks on research and tracks on management.

Students will have special incentives to attend, such as reduced registration and lodging, interaction activities, a chance to win awards for best student presenter and poster, as well as networking opportunities throughout. Oral presentations and posters dealing with any wildlife-related topic are encouraged, including ecology, economics, management, restoration, risk assessment, policy and regulation, evolutionary biology, and interdisciplinary projects. Abstracts will be edited and included in a meeting program booklet; proceedings will not be published.
