  Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment Special Issue
A group of LTER scientists recently collaborated to write a series of articles about ecological connectivity in a special issue of the Ecological Society of America (ESA) journal, Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Issue 5, Vol. 6, of June 2008. The special issue is titled "Continental-scale ecology in an increasingly connected world" and contains guest editorials by Debra Peters (Jornada Basin LTER) and Steve Carpenter (North Temperate Lakes LTER); commentaries by LTER chair, Phil Robertson (Kellogg Biological Station LTER), and a team from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON); and the series of articles authored by more than a dozen LTER and NEON and their collaborators. Nancy Grimm (CAP LTER) is coauthor on two of the articles. For more information go directly to the source at http://www.frontiersinecology.org/. You may also listen to Debra Peter's podcast interview, and also read press releases about it at the ESA website and NSF website. (June 9, 2008)
