International Wildlife Congress 2025

Submitted by editor on 12 February 2025.

WILDLIFE BIOLOGY will be the scientific outlet from the International Wildlife Congress (held in Lillehammer, Norway 1-4 September 2025), and publish a special issue as an outcome of this congress. 

The congress main theme was "How wild is wildlife", and was organised by the University of Inland Norway, in association with IUGB, Euromammals, the Nordic Board of Wildlife Research and Perdix.

In addition, we will have a photo competition stemming from this conference. The winner of the photo competition will make the cover of the International Wildlife Congress Special Issue. 

Guest editors: John Caroll (USA), Stefano Forcadi (Italy), John Linnell (Norway), Jon Swenson (Norway). 

Deadline for submissions: 30 December 2025

Note that papers included in a special issue are on average more downloaded and read than an average paper. By being part of a special issue, your research will get greater visibility and outreach, and ultimately more citations. 

Submissions should adhere to the journal's formatting and citation style guidelines. All manuscripts will undergo peer review by experts in the field to ensure scientific rigor and quality. Please note that by submitting a paper to a special issue does to guarantee acceptance of the paper.

Once a paper is ready, it will be published on Early View, and therefore does not have to wait on publication until all papers in the Special Issue are ready.

 

There are several sub-themes for this conference, of which some are listed below:

  • Human-Wildlife Interactions: From Conflict to Coexistence

  • Technological Advances In Wildlife Research

  • Global perspectives and challenges in wildlife conservation

  • Wildlife Diseases 

These sub-themes are in line with current publication in Wildlife Biology. We recently published a special issue in Human-Wildife Conflicts in the context of Africa, and we have two upcoming special issues that will be published in short:

Technical advances in Wildlife Research, and Disease Ecology.
