Happy holidays to everyone.  We would like to give a short preview of some of our upcoming posts once we return from the holiday.

We conducted an interview with the 2011 Harper Prize Winner, Ryan Phillips earlier this month.  We will recap the interview with Ryan here on the blog.  Read his prize-winning paper in the Journal here.

In another interview post we will talk with David Padilla, who researches ecological and evolutionary interactions between bird communities, blood parasites and vectors.  Read his paper in the Journal here, and press coverage on his research here and here.

In addition, we will visually summarize the first 100 years of Journal of Ecology using a variety of metrics on the Journal.

We’ll see you in 2012.
