News Room » Recent News Coverage
ESA’s Public Affairs Office encourages press coverage of the research in its four journals (Ecology, Ecological Applications, Ecological Monographs and Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment). These journals rank highly in their field and present cutting-edge ecological research. ESA members are often active in their own communities, getting the word out about their research and education at their institutions.
If you’ve shared your work with the public in a news article, on TV or on the radio, or in some other media outlet, please contact ESA’s Communications Officer, Christine Buckley (christine@esa.org), to be featured on this page!
