Call for submissions—Special Topics Issue: Bear Ecology, Rehabilitation, and Veterinary Care

The Wildlife Rehabilitation Bulletin is currently accepting submissions. The Bulletin strives to foster analytical thinking and encourages authors to submit methods, research, and information related to wildlife rehabilitation, veterinary medicine, or educational topics pertinent to the field. Whenever possible, the Bulletin publishes differing protocols, techniques, or views on the same subject to allow readers to make informed decisions.

The Bulletin accepts papers about wildlife rearing, captive husbandry, species-specific husbandry and care, animal welfare, medical issues, treatments, original research and post-release studies, wildlife education, problem prevention, case studies, reviews of wildlife-related publications, and editorials. 

Currently, the Bulletin is particularly interested in submissions of case studies and papers related to the ecology, behavior, veterinary care, and rehabilitation of bears. Papers will be published in a special topics issue in 2026. The submission deadline for the special topics issue is January 31, 2026.

Further information on the submission process may be found on the Submissions page.
