What did we talk about most on Twitter at the BES conference? At least one other has created a wordcloud, but here is another attempt, I cut out URL’s, and user names for the first one on what words we used, then for the second, just extracted user names.
See this Storify I created of some interesting tweets from #BES12. Note that I could only get tweets back to Wed, so apologies for that. The Storify: http://storify.com/recology_/bes12-tweets-of-interest
The #BES12 meeting has come and gone.Here are some notes from some of the talks I attended: Francesco de Bello – Gave a talk on “Functional species pool framework to disentangle biotic and abiotic effects on community assembly ” – Read his related paper by de Bello in Ecology here. I just completed an interview with Francesco…
Zakir and company have a paper in Early View titled “Herbivore-induced plant volatiles provide associational resistance against an ovipositing herbivore”. Read the paper here. The authors have provided a short synopsis of the paper and a photo.
I’m conducting some interviews at the upcoming British Ecological Society in Birmingham: Kyle Dexter – on niche evolution in South American trees Franciska de Vries – on the link between plant traits and soil microbial communities James Rosindell – on the the tree of life explorer OneZoom Eleanor Slade – on prediction of moth responses to forest fragmentation Michael…
In the next Journal of Ecology podcast I interview William Sutherland about his paper on identifying 100 fundamental ecological questions. Check out the paper in the journal here. This interview took place on 3 December, 2012. As always let us know what you think in the comments section below or on Twitter @JEcology or @recology_
In our third podcast in the EcoGist series, Gaku Kudo of Hokkaido University in Japan describes his paper on pollination linkage between canopy trees and understorey plants in a cool-temperate forest in Japan. Read the paper in the journal here.
In the next Journal of Ecology podcast I interview Steve Hovick about his paper exploring prediction of invasiveness in plants using traits based on an ordination approach, accounting simultaneously for many traits. Check out the paper in the journal here. This interview took place on 20 November, 2012. As always let us know what you think in the comments…
In the next Journal of Ecology podcast I interview Kerri Crawford about her paper exploring how plant species and genetic diversity interact to influence plant community biomass. Check out the paper in the journal here. This interview took place on 3 December, 2012. As always let us know what you think in the comments section below or on Twitter @JEcology or @recology_
This interview was originally posted on YouTube here in April of this year. We are re-posting the interview as an audio podcast. In this episode I chat with Rick Karban about his paper in the Journal of Ecology exploring the consequences of volatile communication in sagebrush. Apologies for those of you who have already watched this interview on YouTube…
