Annual Meeting

Mark your Calendar!

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

The photo on the cover of the May issue of Ecology shows a male Dupont's lark (Chersophilus duponti) cautiously navigating through the scrub steppes of Molina de Aragón, Spain, in June 2023. This threatened species coexists with other passerines in the Iberian steppes. Using data from this study area, Barrero et al.'s study in the May issue describes a low niche overlap in the whole community assemblage, although the degree of niche overlap varied between pairs of species. No effects of heterospecific density on species niche breadth was found; however, increasing conspecific density caused niche contraction in some species, contrary to predictions from competition theory.
