Become A Member

As a member of ASM, you are sustaining a vital forum where information from various scientific disciplines is shared and integrated through a single nexus: mammals. 

Your membership supports ASM activities such as production of the Journal of Mammalogy and Mammalian Species, organization of our annual meetings, and fostering the next generation of mammalogists through our student programs.  ASM recognizes contributions to

Mammalogy through our various awards and promotes the interests of mammalogists through the activities of our committees.  For example, ASM committees review and accredit systematic collections, regularly review and revise mammalian taxonomy, provide taxon-specific guidelines for animal care and use in research, and promote mammalian conservation through resolutions and position letters. 

ASM Annual Meeting

The Annual Meeting of the American Society of Mammalogists is its premier event each year. This is the most important annual conference anywhere in the world for the science of mammalogy.

For a four-day period, hundreds of mammalogists and professionals from related disciplines from all over the world gather to exchange scientific information and the latest research, enhance their professional knowledge and skills, and network with colleagues.

The Meeting includes exciting networking events, special plenary sessions, workshops, symposia, the annual Society awards and members meetings. The exhibition features equipment, supplies, and reference materials.
