Hi Ecologgers, In follow-up to the below post by Marc Cadotte about the great new eco/evo blog, EEB and Flow, I wanted to also point folks in the direction of the newly revamped ESA blog, called EcoTone: www.esa.org/esablog.
This blog also focuses on research in the ecology world, but differs from EEB and Flow in that it highlights ecological research in the mainstream media and in the policy arena. We'd like the blog to be a venue for discussion not just about interesting new research, but also on public understanding of science and the role of ecologists in forming public opinion. As the moderator for EcoTone, I welcome guest blogs by ESA members. If you've got something to say about your research, your field work or your experience with policymakers or the media, please drop me a line at [email protected].

The posts on this blog will include highlights of recent exciting papers, thoughts about the field of ecology and what it means to be an ecologist, spotlight researchers and their recent work and discussion of applied and conservation issues. Contributors include a diverse group of junior researchers representing several nationalities and research interests. And more will be added soon. We hope this blog will be useful to an array of people. Most importantly, that the blog is a resource where researchers will can get updated on recent papers outside their immediate area of interest. We hope that graduate students, course instructors and science writers will use this site as a source for learning about what exciting work is being done and about the people doing it. Feel free to send us comments or to comment directly on the blog. Sincerely, Marc Cadotte http://evol-eco.blogspot.com/
