BES Facebook groupEcological Reviews
Ecological Reviews is a series developed jointly by the British Ecological Society and Cambridge University Press to replaces the BES Symposium Series. The new series publishes books at the cutting edge of modern ecology, providing a forum for current topics that are likely to be of long-term importance to the progress of the field. The books aim to set high international standards in ecological sciences.
The series consists of edited, multi-author volumes and each volume provides 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 is intended to be a source of ideas and inspiration for ecologists at all levels - from graduate students to more established researchers and professionals.

Andrea Baier and Lindsay Haddon at the BES Editorial Office 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).
The Editorial Office is always pleased to receive proposals for new volumes. A proposal need not exceed one A4 page but should include the working title of the book and your reasons for writing, as well as outline the content of the book and indicate 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.
Member Discount
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).
