Introduction
  • The Mexican Association for the Conservation and
    Study of Lagomorphs (AMCELA) in collaboration
    with The Center of Environmental Geography
    (CIGA-UNAM), the IUCN/SSC Lagomorph Specialist
    Group, and The World Lagomorph Society (WLS) are
    pleased to invite you to attend the 3rd World
    Lagomorph Conference (3WLC) that will be held in
    November 2008 at Morelia, State of Michoacán,
    México.
  • The 3WLC aims to bring together lagomorph
    researchers from all over the world. It will
    provide an excellent forum for discussion of the
    latest developments in lagomorph biology,
    behavior, ecology, systematics, physiology,
    paleontology, genetics, phylogeography,
    management and conservation. The 3WLC will build
    on the success of the 2WLC held in Portugal and
    the 1st WLC held 25 years earlier in Canada. The
    3WLC will highlight emerging themes in lagomorph
    biology. Thus, we invite all lagomorph
    researchers, students and interested people to
    attend this conference.
