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…
The Tansley Lecture is in full swing as we speak. A number of Journal of Ecology’s Associate Editors have also made some suggestions about what they are looking forward to seeing at #BES12. Gerlinde de Deyn And what a program it is!
The British Ecological Society annual meeting is almost upon us. Before we head to Birmingham Journal of Ecology Editor, Mark Rees, has made some suggestions about what he thinks that you should go and see. BES annual meeting 2012 Ho ho ho, here we go it’s BES annual meeting time and it’s back where it belongs…
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_
Issue 101:1 of Journal of Ecology will be published online very soon. The latest Editor’s Choice is Tree effects on grass growth in savannas: competition, facilitation and the stress-gradient hypothesis by Dohn et al. Editor’s Choice 101:1 Ecologists have been scratching their heads over how competitive and facilitative interactions vary with ecosystem productivity and abiotic…
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_
