ESA Council Speaker-elect Nominations

The ESA Council invites nominations for the role of Speaker-elect, to take office following the August 2023 Council meeting at the 2023 ESA Annual Meeting in Portland, Oregon. The elected candidate will serve for three years — first as Speaker-elect, then rise to Speaker in 2024 and then continue as Past Speaker in 2025 — as part of the Council Leadership Team, which serves to identify matters for Council discussion and liaise between Council and the Governing Board, or program committees as required.

Any current member of the ESA Council is eligible for the role. While Council representatives’ terms typically run for two years, any representative who rises to the role of Speaker-elect (and subsequent roles) will have their term extended until their year as Past Speaker is completed.

This year’s meeting will emphasize the society’s mission of supporting ecologists throughout their careers. The emphasis recognizes the need for us to continually invest in all the people who advance the science and practice of ecology. Among many aspects of professional development, we are planning programming and invite contributions that consider the transformational potential of effective mentorship.

Ecology

Adult female elk (Cervus canadensis) in northeastern Washington, USA, balance shifting risks from cougars, wolves, and humans by altering habitat preferences according to the time of day. In their study published in the April issue of Ecology, Ganz et al. found that humans caused most adult female elk deaths through hunting and vehicle collisions, and elk prioritized avoiding humans over wolves and cougars in the daytime, when humans are most active. At night, elk primarily avoided cougars and wolves (when these carnivores primarily hunt) and preferred areas near human activities, which reduced exposure to the threat of wolf predation.
