Two notable #womeninecology died recently. Soil ecologist Diana Wall (3/25/2024), #ESApres 1999; paleoecologist Margaret Bryan Davis (5/22/2024), #ESApres 1987.

Ecologist Sam McNaughton died Jan 18, 2024; known for research on large mammals and grazing ecosystems. Offering advice to students on communicating ecology, he wrote:

"If you can’t explain it to your parents and a general audience, you don’t know what you’re talking about."

[ESAhistory (ecology) @ESAhistory]

IBP was "a significant boost to U.S. ecology... because it obtained new NSF funds for research which enabled ecologists to expand the scope of their researches, and after IBP ended..., much of the new funding... remained as continuation grants for several yrs." (Egerton, 2017)

[ESAhistory (ecology) @ESAhistory]

Let's talk about IBP, the International Biological Program. In the US, ecologists explored five different biomes in depth during the late 60s and early 70s.

Does anyone out there have IBP memories to share?

[ESAhistory (ecology) @ESAhistory]

"The new developments... introduced by IBP are the attempt to create computerized simulation models of ecosystem functions and... organization of scientists from a broad spectrum of interests into a cooperative effort, working together towards common ... goals." (Norton, 1974)

I share this remembrance of my friend and colleague, Diana Wall, in sadness but also in gratitude for the warm, generous, & infectiously enthusiastic, way that she lived and elevated her science. We remember her fondly. Diana H. Wall (1943–2024) | Science https://t.co/r1JvD49WrR

Care about #EcosystemServices valuation?

At #ESA2023 we heard from OSTP Dep Dir. for Climate & Environment @JaneLubchenco46 & Asst Dir. for Conservation & Biodiversity @htallis46 about new federal guidance...& they want 🫵YOUR feedback!

🧵Since it is becoming hard to track, here is a thread of the simply astounding weather records planet Earth has started shattering in recent weeks:

I express my deepest condolences on the passing of Dr. Culberson. She also made a significant contribution to the Japanese lichenology.

@SeanMichaletz Did you also see this one?

[Nick Smith @nick_greg_smith]

The study involved me channeling my scientific grandfather (Hal Mooney) and traveling around North and Central America with a mobile "gas exchange system" (for me: @LICOR_ENV 6400s and camping equipment)

[Black Ecologists @BEcologists]

We worked with ESA Journals to compile and share research and perspectives from Black Ecologists and colleagues. Please share!
