In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, the Asian Ecology section of ESA will be having a live meeting at 3:00 PM ET, May 4, celebrating the achievements by Asian-American ecologists, in coordination with the Office of Education and Diversity Programs.

This year, we invite three distinguished ecologists whose research areas are in climate change, carbon sequestration and ecosystem sustainability. They will share their journey in ecology, their research and achievements. The invited speakers include:

* Dr. Dennis Ojima, Professor, Department of Ecosystem Science and Sustainability, Colorado State University
* Dr. Yiqi Luo, Professor, Center for Ecosystem Science and Society, Northern Arizona University
* Dr. Wei Ren, Associate Professor, Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, University of Kentucky

This will be a panel discussion. Please come and join this amazing conversation.

Ever wanted to enjoy the outdoors without the prospect of tick bites and tick-borne diseases? You’re not alone! With an up-“tick” in tick-borne disease cases, it is important to understand tick biology and ecology in order to manage your risk. Sponsored by the Eastern Branch, this webinar will feature a panel of tick experts to share their current research on tick biology, ecology, and control. Our panel will also answer audience questions on how you can protect yourself from tick bites while outdoors.

The ESA Traditional Ecological Knowledge Section is hosting a webinar series to facilitate a virtual space to welcome and hear from Indigenous voices who work to help sustain and nurture TEK within their communities. The speakers share tools, processes and practices they have learned through activities that work for them in their journey to utilize TEK.

In these times of uncertainty, the TEK Section recognizes the importance of sharing Indigenous knowledge with our ESA community so that valuable lessons of reclaiming Indigenous languages, culture and traditions can be shared in a way to create better understanding of TEK. It’s an opportunity for Indigenous thought leaders to share their wisdom, knowledge and experiences with the ESA community to reflect on questions arising within the western scientific community of how we build an emerging space that honors and respects both Ways of Knowing.

Join this presentation by Dr. Vivian Delgado.

Plants structure ecosystems and provide habitat and food for wildlife. As such, identifying and classifying plants are essential skills for wildlife biologists but are often underemphasized in wildlife curriculums or overlooked altogether. This course gives students a foundation in the practical skills needed to identify and classify plants in their location of interest

Recommended prerequisite for Plant Community Assessment (Online)
