Last year Roberto Salguero-Gómez (Associate Editor, Journal of Ecology) interviewed Hal Caswell and you can listen to the interview in its entirety below. Roberto and Hal are co-authors on “The COMPADRE Plant Matrix Database: an open online repository for plant demography“, which was published in Journal of Ecology in issue 1 of 2015. Roberto is…
Frederic Holzwarth is an ecologist at Universität Leipzig in Germany – I caught up with him back in March last year to chat about his research published in the journal. The title was: Many ways to die – partitioning tree mortality dynamics in a near-natural mixed deciduous forest. You can read the abstract and paper here.
Ethan White is a macroecologist at Utah State University – I caught up with him at the Ecological Society of America (ESA) meeting in August to chat about his research, and a his talk titled Evaluating a general theory of macroecology using big data. You can read the abstract for his talk here. See also talks by members…
Dr. Jacquelyn Gill, an assistant professor at the University of Maine, has a paper out in the journal titled Linking abundances of the dung fungus Sporormiella to the density of bison: implications for assessing grazing by megaherbivores in palaeorecords. I caught up with Dr. Gill at the Ecological Society of America (ESA) meeting in Minneapolis, MN, USA to chat…
Haldre Rogers organized a session at the recent Ecological Society of America (ESA) meeting in August titled What Is The Fate Of a Forest Without Vertebrate Frugivores? Merging Case Studies With Theory. You can read the abstract for the session here. We caught up with Haldre at ESA to chat, and the following is our discussion.
It is hard to believe that INTECOL was almost two months ago now! Back in August Journal of Ecology sponsored a symposium at #INT13 entitled “The tree of life in ecosystems: evolution of plant effects on carbon and nutrient cycling”. The symposium was organised by Journal of Ecology Associate Editors Hans Cornelissen and Will Cornwell…
Allison Louthan et al. have a paper out in the journal titled Climatic stress mediates the impacts of herbivory on plant population structure and components of individual fitness. Read their paper here. We caught up with Allison recently to chat about her research.
Joshua Rapp et al. have a paper out in the journal (Early View) titled Sex allocation, pollen limitation and masting in whitebark pine. Read their paper here, and a press release here. We caught up with Joshua recently to chat about his research.
Jörg Albrecht et al. have a paper out in the journal (vol 101, issue 4, pp. 662-70) titled Logging and forest edges reduce redundancy in plant–frugivore networks in an old-growth European forest. Read their paper here. We caught up with Jörg recently to chat about his research.
Verena Cordlandwehr et al. have a paper out in the journal (vol 101, issue 3, pp. 662-70) titled Do plant traits retrieved from a database accurately predict on-site measurements? Read their paper here. We caught up with Verena recently to chat about her research. Note: Apologies in advance for the relatively poor sound quality – I will work in…
