Białowieża Ecology Conference is an international scientific conference series held in the heart of Europe’s last primeval lowland forest. In 2026, during its second edition, BEC will host the 36th European Mustelid Colloquium – an international conference that has been held regularly for 70 years in various locations across Europe and has successfully brought together researchers studying mustelids, one of the largest and most diverse groups of carnivores.
We warmly invite submissions of abstracts covering broadly understood mustelid ecology, biology, evolution, conservation, monitoring methods, and population dynamics, as well as studies examining both the impact of these predators on the environment and the effects of environmental and climate change on mustelid populations.
