I am starting to extract audio from the YouTube interviews done so far to post on them on the Journal of Ecology podcast for those of us that prefer audio to video. This interview was originally posted on YouTube here. We are reposting the interview as an audio podcast. In this episode I chat with Marko Spasojevic about…
In the next Journal of Ecology podcast I interview Stefan Schnitzer about his paper exploring habitat variables associated with liana communities in Panama. Check out the paper in the journal here. This interview took place on 19 September, 2012 over Skype. As always let us know what you think in the comments section below or on Twitter @JEcology or @recology_
In the next Journal of Ecology podcast I interview a number of ecologists responsible for two databases of population demographics matrices (ComADRe and ComPADRe III), one for plants and other for animals. Four ecologists were interviewed: Rob Salguero-Gomez (who currently organizes the databases), Hal Caswell (a collaborator on the project), and Miguel Franco and Jonathan Silvertown (who started these databases a few…
In the next Journal of Ecology podcast I interview Lauren Urgensonabout her paper showing that an invasive plant species (Polygonum X bohemicum; bohemian knotweed) has different effects on plants of different seral stages. Check out the paper in the journal here. This interview took place at ESA 2012 in Portland, OR. As always let us know what you…
In the next Journal of Ecology podcast I interview Carol Thornber the paper she co-authored on showing how snail grazing facilitates marine algal growth. Check out the related paper in the journal here. This interview took place at ESA 2012 in Portland, OR.

There seems to be less and less funding for ecology. In addition, ecological questions benefit from being carried out in a lot of different locations – this allows for more general conclusions. Traditionally, an ecologist would get a bunch of money and do the research at all the sites herself. Another way to do this…
In the next Journal of Ecology podcast I interview Ian Pearse about oaks and selection on flowering time in oaks. Check out the related paper in the journal here.
