We welcome presentations from attendees during the Saturday paper session on any topic consistent with the DSA’s mission to advance “the discovery, conservation and knowledge of Odonata through observation, collection, research, publication, and education.”
These presentations, which typically span 20 minutes (including time for questions), are not limited to peer-reviewed, published research. Shorter presentations are welcome and requests for longer talks will be considered.
