The IMC 13 will be held in Anchorage, Alaska. The meeting will be co-hosted by the IFM and by the American Society of Mammalogists. We anticipate that the conference will take place during July 2021, although the specific dates have yet to be determined. We will post additional information here as it becomes available. We look forward to seeing you in Anchorage!
