Ecological Reviews, a new series developed jointly by the British Ecological Society and Cambridge University Press, replaces the BES Symposium Series. The new series aims to publish books at the cutting edge of modern ecology, providing a forum for volumes that discuss topics that are focal points of current activity and likely long-term importance to the progress of the field. The volumes aim to set high international standards in ecological sciences.
The series will consist of edited, multi-author volumes and each volume will provide a synthesis of understanding of a topic that has achieved a critical mass of knowledge in the past 5 – 6 years. Ecological Reviews includes free-standing volumes, as well as those arising from BES Symposia, and the series sets out to be a source of ideas and inspiration for ecologists at all levels from graduate students to more established researchers and professionals.
In this series:
6. Speciation and Patterns of Diversity, Butlin, Bridle and Schluter, 2008
5. Body Size: The Structure and Function of Aquatic Ecosystems Hildrew, Raffaelli and Edmonds-Brown, 2007
4. Scaling Biodiversity Storch, Marquet and Brown, 2007
3. Island Colonization Thornton and New, 2007
2. Biological Diversity and Function in Soils Bardgett, Usher and Hopkins, 2005

Editorial Board
The series is overseen by an Editorial Board comprising:
Hefin Jones (Cardiff University, UK): Chair and Series Editor
Mark Bradford (Yale University, USA)
David Burslem (University of Aberdeen, UK)
Sue Hartley (University of Sussex, UK)
Mark Hunter (University of Michigan, USA)
Heikki Setala (Helsinki University, Finland)
Phil Warren (University of Sheffield, UK)
Gerwyn Clegg, BES's Publications Assistant, works with Lindsay Haddon (Publications Manager) to coordinate all enquiries, as well as the proposal and production processes.
Ecological Review Proposals
The BES considers proposals for Ecological Reviews (whether independent volumes or arising from BES Symposia) via its Publications Committee (proposals for symposium meetings are considered via the Meetings Committee). We are always pleased to receive outlines for proposed volumes, and these should be sent to the BES Publications Office: they need not exceed one A4 page but should include the working title of the book and your reasons for writing, as well as outlining the content of the book and indicating the readership for which it is intended. We also need to know about you and your co-editors, and we appreciate any information you can give us about the contributors. If approved by the Society’s Publications Committee, a more detailed proposal will be requested for circulation to the Editorial Board.
BES members get a 20% discount on the cover price of both Ecological Reviews and volumes in the BES Symposium Series. The BES Symposium Series has for more than 40 years published volumes arising from the important annual symposia and special symposia organised by the Society: the resulting volumes are widely recognised as being landmark contributions to the field (Published Symposia).
