The Ecological Forecasting Initiative and the ESA Statistical Ecology Section are hosting Dr. Vianey Leos Barajas for the May call in the Statistical Methods Seminar Series. Dr. Leos Barajas is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistical Sciences and the School of the Environment at the University of Toronto and leads the Bayesian Ecological and Environmental Statistics (B.E.E.S.) research group. B.E.E.S. is dedicated to the development of statistical methodology to answer pressing ecological and environmental questions. Dr. Leos Barajas’ work focuses on the analysis of sensor data collected from animals and the environment over time and space but also includes collaborations in health and other areas.

Ever wanted to enjoy the outdoors without the prospect of tick bites and tick-borne diseases? You’re not alone! With an up-“tick” in tick-borne disease cases, it is important to understand tick biology and ecology in order to manage your risk. Sponsored by the Eastern Branch, this webinar will feature a panel of tick experts to share their current research on tick biology, ecology, and control. Our panel will also answer audience questions on how you can protect yourself from tick bites while outdoors.
(Attending this webinar is worth 0.5 CEU in Category V.)
The ESA Traditional Ecological Knowledge Section is hosting a webinar series to facilitate a virtual space to welcome and hear from Indigenous voices who work to help sustain and nurture TEK within their communities. The speakers share tools, processes and practices they have learned through activities that work for them in their journey to utilize TEK.
In these times of uncertainty, the TEK Section recognizes the importance of sharing Indigenous knowledge with our ESA community so that valuable lessons of reclaiming Indigenous languages, culture and traditions can be shared in a way to create better understanding of TEK. It’s an opportunity for Indigenous thought leaders to share their wisdom, knowledge and experiences with the ESA community to reflect on questions arising within the western scientific community of how we build an emerging space that honors and respects both Ways of Knowing.
Join this presentation by Dr. Vivian Delgado.

Join us for an exciting virtual series to discuss how precision agriculture, soil health, 4R nutrient management, on-farm metrics, and carbon and ecosystem services markets fit into sustainable farming. Four 2-hour sessions in July & August 2022.
Plants structure ecosystems and provide habitat and food for wildlife. As such, identifying and classifying plants are essential skills for wildlife biologists but are often underemphasized in wildlife curriculums or overlooked altogether. This course gives students a foundation in the practical skills needed to identify and classify plants in their location of interest
ESA CEU: included for FREE
Recommended prerequisite for Plant Community Assessment (Online)
