The Theoretical Ecology Section of the Ecological Society of America
Welcome to the home page for the Theoretical Ecology Section of ESA, hosted
by the National Center for Ecological
Analysis and Synthesis. The Theoretical Ecology Section is a part of the
Ecological Society of America (ESA). You can find out more about our parent
organization by visiting the ESA Home
Page. The Section was formed in 1993 to (1) foster theoretical research in
all areas of ecology; (2) sponsor meetings for the presentation of results; (3)
foster communication and research collaboration between theoreticians and
experimental/field ecologists; (4) encourage the application of ecological
theory to the resolution of societal problems.
Activities
- Preprint Server. The Section maintains a preprint server to
facilitate communication among ecologists by providing a mechanism for rapid
dissemination of new research results that are destined to be submitted for
publication (i.e., not white papers or gray literature). To see the current
list of manuscripts, or to contribute your own, CLICK HERE.
- Announcements Email List. The Section maintains an email list for
all official communication to section members. The list is moderated by the
Secretary of the Section, so you will not get email unrelated to the official
business. You will only get occasional announcements. We expect no more than
one message per month. The email list will also be used to hold elections. To
subscribe, review past submissions, or learn more, CLICK

- Discussion Email List. An unmoderated email list for the discussion
of issues in theoretical ecology has recently been created by the Section. To
subscribe, or review past submissions, CLICK
HERE.
- Alfred J. Lotka & Vito Volterra Awards. The Section sponsors
two awards for presentations by students at the Annual Meeting of the ESA: the
Lotka award for the best poster in theoretical ecology, and the Volterra award
for the best talk in theoretical ecology. To be considered for an award at the
2001 Annual Meeting, or to see a list of past winners, CLICK HERE.
