Oekologie

Have you written anything lately about ecology or environmental science?

We are looking for credible, science-centered posts discussing new research and ideas, reviews of the tenets of either field, or evidence-based personal opinions regarding ecology and environmental science.

Distinction: Oekologie is a blog carnival all about interactions between organisms in a system. While Circus of the Spineless might look for a post discussing the hunting techniques of a trap door spider, Oekologie is looking for posts discussing how a trap door spider’s hunting techniques affect prey populations or its surroundings. While Carnival of the Green might look for a post discussing a big oil policy decision regarding ANWR, Oekologie would accept a post describing the ecological consequences of pipeline construction in the area.

Again, we are looking for posts describing biological interactions - human or nonhuman - with the environment.

Topics may include but are not limited to posts about population genetics, niche/neutral theory, sustainabilty, pollution, climate change, disturbance, exploitation, mutualism, ecosystem structure and composition, molecular ecology, evolutionary ecology, energy usage (by humans or within biological systems), succession, landscape ecology, nutrient cycling, biodiversity, agriculture, waste management, etc. The list goes on and on; I think you get the idea.

Your blog does not have to be an ecology or environmental blog itself, but the post should present an accurate representation of the field.

Limit: Send in as many as you like. Usually only one will be selected for the carnival.

Grammar, Spelling, Length: The post should be spell-checked, grammatically sound, and substantial; we’re not looking for brief reviews. If you are reviewing research, please include solid commentary involving other sources.

Send your work to the upcoming host’s e-mail address or by using this form at Blogcarnival.net. The selection of posts to be published is at the discretion of the host, with these criteria in mind.

Always link back to the host when Oekologie is published. This not only makes the hosts happy, it drives people to read your contributions and the contributions of others.

The deadline for submissions is the 13th of every month. Oekologie will be published on the following 15th.
