As part of Journal of Ecology’s continued International Women’s Day celebrations Associate Editor Honor Prentice has done a Q&A for the our blog. As expected lots of brilliance below. Lauren Sandhu Assistant Editor, Journal of Ecology Honor Prentice’s current research centres on the mechanisms involved in the maintenance or loss of biodiversity on different…
Journal of Ecology is pleased to welcome Pierre Mariotte as a new Associate Editor with special responsibility for overseeing this blog. Pierre is a Swiss NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Sydney, Australia where he works on community ecology particularly plant-soil interactions and feedbacks. He has published several papers in the Journal including Kardol…
A recent survey sponsored by the L’Oréal Foundation and led by Nobel Prize winning scientist Elizabeth Blackburn reported that ‘67% of Europeans think that women do not possess the required capabilities in order to access high-level scientific positions’. That is two-thirds of the general public in Europe. And that statistic means that many women, as…

Grime on a set of papers (1965-2007) from the Journal of Ecology reproduced online in December 2013 Thank you, Editors, for this opportunity to reflect on the circumstances, motivating forces and memorable…
Mark is interested in a wide range of ecological and evolutionary problems. He uses a range of approaches from simple analytical models, through to evolutionary stable strategy models for the evolution of plant traits and more complex structured models, in particular integral projection models. He is also interested in statistical estimation problems related to the…
Roberto integrates research questions in ecology and evolutionary biology by using a variety of methods that include histology, plant ecophysiology, diographic discrete and continuous models, and comparative biology. His research focuses mostly on the exploration of strategies that allow organisms to survive in arid environments, particularly in the light of climate change, and the conditions…
As we move into the Journal of Ecology’s Centenary year, it seems like an excellent time to look back at articles in the Journal archives to find out what impact they have had on plant ecologists working in the field today. Journal Editor, David Gibson, kicks off the first post for our “Ecological Inspirations”…
