Divisions

The Public Affairs Office works to engage in environmental and science policy, share ecological science with the media and the public, and to inform the ecological community about opportunities to participate in public policy or media interactions. ESA’s Rapid Response Team experts play a key role in these activities, serving as a resource for ESA, policymakers, and the media.

The Science Programs Office promotes the continued development of ecological science and its integration into decision-making and education, linking the ecological research and management communities.

The Education and Diversity Programs Office works to increase diversity within ecology-related professions, to engage the public in a dialogue on ecological research and issues, and to improve the quality of ecology education at all levels.

ESA Journals - The Society publishes the scientific, peer-reviewed journals of Ecology, Ecological Monographs, Ecological Applications, Frontiers in Ecology, and most recently added, Ecosphere, a rapid publication, online-only, open access journal featuring all sub-disciplines of ecology. Research featured in ESA’s journals has included articles on white-nose syndrome in bats, marine protected areas, migration systems of New World birds, the indirect ecological effects between parasitoid wasps and rhizobacteria, and the range expansion of cougars.
