Last week a couple of thousand of us turned up to within gliding distance of the London City Airport to attend Intecol. There we had the usual rounds of talks, meetings, coffee, lunches, workshops, more coffee, talks, and even fairy cakes. But the one thing that was new (aside from the usual new ecology) was the way the meeting worked with twitter.

So. Last week I was just west of Oslo, in Norway, for the third International Statistical Ecology Conference (as I write registration is still open). This is a core area for Methods, and there was a strong contingent of MEE editors, authors and reviewers present. This was a good opportunity to chat to them, and generally raise the profile of the journal. It’s always nice to get feedback, and also help potential authors thinking about submitting – and even one author who’s paper I had just rejected.
The weather was excellent throughout the meeting:
so, of course, we had to spend so much time inside. But what, you are wondering, did we talk about?

Methods will be attending the next ITN Speciation conference 2012 in Jyväskylä, Finland and to mark the occasion, the editorial team has put together a list of some our most relevant work in speciation and evolution. Applications – concise papers describing new software, equipment, or other practical tools: PASSaGE: Pattern Analysis, Spatial Statistics and Geographic Exegesis. Version 2 by Micheal Rosenberg and Corey Anderson RBrownie: … Continue reading Top 10 speciation and evolution papers
While our Editor-in-Chief will be chairing a session on methods in ecology and evolution at the BES Annual Meeting 2011, our Journal Coordinator is running a lunchtime workshop on publishing science in the online age. Journalist and blogger Ed Yong, Open Science advocate Ross Mounce, and BES journal editors Marc Cadotte and David Gibson, will all be talking about the various ways in which online communication has the potential to revolutionise … Continue reading Publishing science in the online age
The topic for session 21 at this year’s Annual Meeting of the British Ecological Society is “Methods in ecology and evolution”, chaired by our very own Editor-in-Chief Rob Freckleton – and several of the presentations link in to papers we’ve already published. The session runs from 11.15 to 13:00 on Tuesday the 13th of September, and we look forward to seeing you there! 11.15 Systematic … Continue reading Methods in Ecology and Evolution at BES 2011
By way of an introduction to this blog post, watch this! Back in March the Centre for Ecology and Evolution in London organised a meeting that brought together top researchers in macroevolution. The idea of the meeting was to highlight how advances in the study of macroevolution could be made by a closer integration with ecology, and the incoroporation of ecological ideas and ecological models. … Continue reading Watch the CEE meeting, Integrating ecology into macroevolutionary research
The International Biogeography Society has just held their 5th meeting in Crete and I thought I would pick some highlights that are methods relevant. This meeting brings together a range of researchers from the intersection of ecology, evolutionary biology, geography, geology and systematics: a truly diverse grouping. Biogeography is, in essence concerned with the distributions of species and how these change with time. It is … Continue reading Methods in Biogeography
A quick update – the Methods in Ecology and Evolution launch symposium is going ahead, despite the travel chaos resulting from the effects of the ash cloud emanating from the Icelandic volcano. There are some changes to the line-up as it is very likely that overseas speakers won’t be able to come along. The revised list of speakers is: Mark Pagel Owen Petchey Russ Lande … Continue reading Launch Symposium – going ahead!
