Ecological reviews

                             

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. 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 will includes free-standing volumes, as well as those arising from BES Symposia, and sets out to be a source of ideas and inspiration for ecologists at all levels from graduate students to more established researchers and professionals.

 

 

The series is overseen by an Editorial Board comprising:

Hefin Jones (Cardiff University, UK): Chairman and Series Editor 

Mark Bradford (University of Georgia, USA)

David Burslem (University of Aberdeen, UK)

Sue Hartley (University of Sussex, UK)

Richard Hobbs (Murdoch University, Australia)

Mark Hunter (University of Michigan, USA)

Heikki Setala (Helsinki University, Finland) 

 

Lindsay Haddon, BES Publications Manager, coordinates all enquiries, as well as proposal and production processes.  

  

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). An outline for a proposed volume, which should be sent to the BES Publications Manager, need not exceed one A4 page and 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. Below is a complete list of published symposia and those marked with a * are still in print. To order a copy contact the customer services department at CUP (directcustserv@cambridge.org or tel: +44 (0) 1223 326050. More details on the series are available at http://www.cambridge.org/uk/series/sSeries.asp?code=ER.
