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.

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment

In urban settings, assessments of landscape connectivity for predators such as coyotes (Canis latrans) have important implications for conservation and human-wildlife conflict management. By tracking coyote movements within Toronto, Canada, over nine consecutive years, Gelmi-Candusso et al. found that coyotes generally preferred densely vegetated areas during daytime while favoring transportation infrastructure, especially low-traffic roads, during nighttime. The study, published in the May issue of Frontiers, also found that social status played a role in the observed movement patterns, given that resident coyotes largely drove their transient counterparts into suboptimal movement pathways, including areas with higher building density. To improve connectivity for urban wildlife, city planners should consider—among other initiatives—enhancing the structural complexity of vegetation along roads and within parks, and protecting wetlands from canalization practices.
