In 2022, the 11th International Dormouse Conference (IDC) took place in Svilengrad, Bulgaria, in the centre of the realm of Roach’s mouse-tailed dormouse (Myomimus roachi). About 100 people attended the conference, in-person and virtual. They came from 26 countries. They listened to 44 oral presentations, visited 29 posters and admired many drawings and paintings of dormice made by members of the Society of animalists, florists and scientific illustrators (DAFNI). The attendees also visited the habitat of Roach’s mouse-tailed dormouse where Nedko Nedyalkov could show them a live individual sleeping in one of the nestboxes.
Abstracts of all presentations (oral and poster) were published on the ARPHA website of Pensoft Publishers, one of the sponsors of the conference. Go to Collection 212. Recently, articles about some (14) of the oral presentations were published in a special issue of Acta Zoologica Bulgaria. You find downloadable files of the articles here: Acta Zoologica Bulgaria.
The conference was organised by The Habitat Foundation, together with the National Museum of Natural History in Sofia, Bulgaria.
