We invite submissions of abstracts for contributed oral and poster presentations at the 98th Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of America. The theme for the meeting is "Sustainable Pathways: Learning From the Past and Shaping the Future." Abstracts related to this theme are highly encouraged, but submissions may address any aspect of ecology and its applications. We also welcome submissions that report interdisciplinary work, address communication with broad audiences, or explore ways of teaching ecology at any level.

 

Contributed oral presentations are allotted 15 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions, and will be placed in thematic sessions scheduled Monday afternoon through Friday morning. By submitting an abstract, it is expected that authors will be available during any of these time slots. Abstracts will be placed in sessions based on themes ranked by the submitting author.

 

Contributed poster presentations are placed in late afternoon poster sessions scheduled Monday through Thursday afternoon. Posters will be displayed all day preceding their session, and authors are expected to present their posters during the entire 2 hour poster session.

 

Students planning to present at the meeting who are interested in applying for awards should visit the ESA website for more information: http://www.esa.org/aboutesa/awards.php
