[Aqualist] palaeoecology survey

[Simon Haberle]

Apologies for cross posting.

This is an announcement for an online survey of influential
literature in the broad field of paleoecology. The goal of the
survey is to create a bibliography that represents the important
directions of research in paleoecology. This bibliography is
developed by anonymous contributions from anyone whose research or
teaching is influenced in some way by work in the field of
paleoecology, not necessarily only from people who consider
themselves paleoecologists. The bibliography and annotations may be
viewed as a formatted list or imported into EndNote software.

The motivation for this survey is to demonstrate the current research
areas in paleoecology for an upcoming discussion at the annual
meeting of the Ecological Society of America (ESA) in Savannah, GA on
the "Future of Paleoecology", sponsored by the Paleoecology Section
of ESA. With many investigators pursuing new directions and
techniques, exciting new developments are occurring in paleoecology.
This community-wide discussion will focus on where the field is
headed. The online survey is designed so people not attending the
discussion may share thoughts electronically. Already, the list of
references is impressive, many with insightful comments attached to
individual references, but some major sub-fields of paleoecology are
underrepresented. We hope you will contribute and make this survey a
success.

The survey is at: http://www.life.uiuc.edu/hu/ESAsurvey/
