5:00 PM Eastern (2:00 PM Pacific) <\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

All ESA Annual Meeting proposal and abstract deadlines are 5:00 PM Eastern so that technical support and ESA staff assistance will be immediately available when submitters need it. If you begin your submission very close to the deadline, you are choosing to take a risk, and we will not make an exception if you don\u2019t complete your submission in time. The form automatically closes at 5:00 EST \/ 2:00 PST whether you have completed your submission or not.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proposals that are incomplete or received after the deadline will not be considered.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ESA meetings, open to ESA members and those interested in ecology, are among the most respected meetings of ecologists in the science community. ESA is committed to providing a safe, productive, and welcoming environment. All participants including, but not limited to, attendees, speakers, volunteers, exhibitors, ESA staff, service providers and others are expected to abide by the ESA Meetings Code of Conduct<\/a>. This Code of Conduct applies to all ESA meeting-related events including those sponsored by organizations other than ESA but held in conjunction with ESA events, in public or private facilities. In addition, all ESA meeting attendees must agree to abide by the ESA Scientific Integrity and Professional Ethics Policy<\/a> and the ESA Diversity Statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Submit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You must submit your abstract using the online submission form. Abstracts sent by email will not be considered. Click the link below to begin by logging in through ESA\u2019s online system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a new meeting platform this year which includes a new submission form for abstracts. If you have submitted for an ESA meeting in the past, things will look a little different, and we hope the process is more user friendly than before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will be able to return to the abstract to edit it until the submission deadline has passed. Information on how to do so will be included in two automated emails you will receive, first when you begin and then when you complete your submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the 2022 Joint Meeting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s annual meeting is a joint meeting with the Canadian Society for Ecology and Evolution<\/a>. Members of CSEE will be able to register for the meeting at the ESA member rate. CSEE members are welcome to submit session proposals and presentation abstracts through the usual ESA submission process and deadlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ESA is closely monitoring the developing situation with COVID-19 and the omicron variant. We continue to plan for an in-person meeting in Montr\u00e9al. All speakers with accepted abstracts should plan to attend in person. If the meeting format changes, we will notify all session organizers and speakers by email. Virtual and in-person workshops and short courses will be offered to complement the in-person scientific program. If an in-person meeting is not possible, the meeting will be virtual, with all sessions held online.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before You Begin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Please read and follow the abstract guidelines carefully. They are provided here as a guide to help you plan in advance. You can start your submission, save your progress, and then return to complete it at any time before the deadline has passed. A copy of your submission will be automatically emailed to you when you complete an abstract submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this is your first time submitting an abstract for an ESA meeting, we suggest reading some contributed abstracts from a previous meeting. Abstracts from recent meetings are available online (2021<\/a>, 2020<\/a>, 2019<\/a>). If you are a student, we strongly encourage you to work closely with your faculty adviser as you develop your abstract. If you encounter problems during abstract submission, email meetings@esa.org<\/a> and include the abstract ID number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Contributed Oral Sessions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We invite submission of abstracts for contributed oral presentations for the 2022 ESA Annual Meeting. Abstracts are encouraged to address the meeting theme \u201cA Change Is Gonna Come\u201d if appropriate but doing so is not necessary. We welcome submissions from any topic in ecology. This includes submissions that report interdisciplinary work, address communication with broad audiences, or explore ways of teaching ecology at any level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contributed oral presentations are scheduled for 15-minute timeslots. 12 minutes are allowed for each presentation plus 3 minutes for questions. Individually submitted contributed abstracts will be grouped together to create sessions with a common theme. Abstract authors will rank 3 preferred session themes as part of the abstract submission process. Each contributed talk may be scheduled Monday afternoon through Thursday afternoon. By submitting an abstract, you are indicating that the presenting author will be available during any of the possible time slots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
