The next Species on the Move (SOTM) 2026 Conference, is to be held April 20–24, 2026 at Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan. This will be a fantastic conference about all things climate-driven species redistribution —high-quality science and excellent opportunities for cross-disciplinary exchange.
SOTM 2026 marks the 10th anniversary of the series, with a special retrospective on the past decade and a forward-looking perspective on research gaps. The conference considers all species, all biomes, all disciplines and all knowledge systems, with the program spanning themes from biodiversity redistributions—phenomena and mechanisms—to ecosystem transitions, conservation, policy, cultural impacts and responses, social science, societal engagement and adaptation and much more, truly reflecting the breadth of our field.
The venue is equally inspiring: Sun Moon Lake offers stunning mountain and lake scenery, rich cultural heritage, and April is the best season for birding, hiking, and enjoying hot springs.
Abstracts are due November 10, 2025. Notifications and early-bird registration will follow. Although the schedule is tight, accepted abstracts can still be updated after acceptance, so we encourage early submission.
