    Election: ESA Physiological Ecology Section Chair<\/h2>\n

    It is time to elect a new Chair to replace Kate McCulloh and Gretchen North, who are nearing the end of their two-year term. We are fortunate to have three extremely well-qualified candidates for 2017-2018, David Moore, University of Arizona, Jason West, Texas A&M University, and Maciej Zwieniecki, University of California, Davis. Their biographical sketches and personal statements are below.<\/p>\n

    Please vote here<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n

    David Moore<\/h3>\n

    Bio<\/b>
    \nI study physiological ecology because it explores the mechanisms that underpin the patterns we see in nature. Understanding these mechanisms can inform species distribution and behavior, management and conservation decisions and predictions of the ecosystem consequences of environmental change. My research spans plant photosynthesis, respiration and growth to microbial and whole ecosystem metabolism at a range of scales. My work in physiological ecology is an attempt to understand how ecosystems work across time and space. The work in our lab involves field and laboratory measurements and process based models. I received a BSc in Botany from University College Dublin and a PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Illinois on the effects of rising CO2 on forests. My postdoctoral research involved the measurement and modeling of ecosystem fluxes at regional scales. Since 2007, I\u2019ve organized a two week training course in flux measurement and advanced modeling (the \u2018fluxcourse\u2019) which attempts to bridge the gap between empirical and modeling approaches to science. After spending three years as a faculty member at King\u2019s College London, one as a visiting scientist at the National Ecological Observatory Network, I am currently an Associate Professor in the School of Natural Resources and the Environment at the University of Arizona.<\/p>\n

    Goals<\/b>
    \nIf I was to be elected chair I would attempt to do two things, both focused on increasing discussion of new ideas in physiological ecology. First I would work to expand the digital footprint of the section and include those opting out of social media. There is a growing community of physiological ecologists on social media, sharing papers, new findings, jobs and encouraging young scientists to participate in in the scientific discourse. While this is an important development, we need to work to make sure that we do not create a digital divide between our members and find ways to include everyone. Second, I would work to expand the relevance the physiological section at the Ecological Society of America meeting. This depends of the active engagement of all scientists who share our passion. I would like to encourage the development of Organized Oral Sessions within the discipline and to encourage the inclusion of young scientists and those traditionally under-represented in these sessions. The will involve a little planning, providing timely information about how to propose a session to our members and it hinges on building a community of scientists eager to show up and discuss our science.<\/p>\n

    Jason West<\/h3>\n

    Bio<\/b>
    \nI am a plant physiological ecologist by training and work on soil-plant-atmosphere interactions. My research encompasses within-leaf processes, leaf and root function, the responses of whole plants to environmental drivers, and the dynamics of ecosystems and landscapes as a function of anthropogenic change. I have also championed efforts to use models and spatially distributed stable isotope data to answer questions at large scales. My bachelor\u2019s degree is in Range Science from Utah State University where I was first introduced to concepts of plant stress, the fascinating ways it can be studied, and the importance of plant-environment interactions to ecological processes. I then went to the University of Georgia and Lisa Donovan\u2019s lab where I completed a PhD in Botany studying the below ground dynamics of longleaf pine savannas. I then took a two year postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Minnesota, working with Sarah Hobbie and Peter Reich on ecosystem responses to multiple global changes. After that I was a research associate at the University of Utah working in an invigorating and multidisciplinary group in Jim Ehleringer\u2019s lab on a range of stable isotope-focused questions. I am currently an Associate Professor at Texas A&M University where I get to work with fantastic students, postdocs, technicians, research associates and colleagues on the research questions we find compelling. Our more recent work has included internal resistances to CO2 diffusion in leaves, responses of southeastern forests to climate change, biogeochemical and ecohydrological processes in semi-arid environments, deep rooting in seasonally dry ecosystems, drivers of isotope fractionation in plants, and modeling of plant isoscapes.<\/p>\n

    Personal Statement<\/b>
    \nIt is an honor to be considered for President of the Physiological Ecology Section of the Ecological Society of America. I have been close to the discipline since I was as an undergraduate working in Martyn Caldwell\u2019s lab and have been a member of ESA and the Section for nearly twenty years. The Section represents a vibrant, diverse community of ecologists tackling challenging questions across a wide spectrum of organisms and ecosystems. If elected President, I would focus on continuing the already excellent programs that promote our science, advance the careers of young ecophysiologists, promote diversity and inclusion, and grow the Section\u2019s membership. In addition, I would like to work on three main areas with some new initiatives: (1) Science communication \u2013 I think it is quite clear that the scientific community in general needs to do a better job of communicating what we do, why it\u2019s important, and what the impacts of our work are. I will work to expand our social media presence and look for new ways to engage in broader dialogs, in particular with non-scientists, through helping to organize efforts like Science Caf\u00e9s (http:\/\/www.sciencecafes.org\/) and others, (2) Diversity and inclusion \u2013 Our section does a very good job cultivating young scientists from many backgrounds and providing tools for their success, including participating in the SEEDS program, offering student and postdoc awards that recognize excellence, and maintaining strong links to the ESA Student Section. I would like to explore new efforts, including sponsoring an event at the ESA Annual Meeting or strengthening the Section\u2019s participation in SEEDS Leadership Meetings and other events, and will seek input from across the Section on how we can enhance what we do in this area, (3) Funding \u2013 Since the Section is one of the largest in ESA and because we receive generous support from donors, it has strong financial footing. New initiatives, however, require new funding. I will seek to enhance support from external donors and will work with the Section\u2019s leadership to develop a proposal for the ESA Long Range Planning Grants program if that opportunity is made available.<\/p>\n

    Maciej Zwieniecki<\/h3>\n

    Bio<\/b>
    \nMaciej Zwieniecki received his Ph.D. in forest ecophysiology from Oregon State University (1995) studying chaparral forests. Following 12 years, Maciej spent at Harvard University at series of soft money positions in Missy Holbrook lab studying multiple aspects of plant water relations. From 2008 till 2012 Maciej was a Sargent Research Fellow at The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University focusing his research on the biology and biophysics of transport processes in plants and the water relations of trees in their natural environment. In 2012 Maciej joined Plant Science Department at UC Davis where he continues his eco-physiological research in both natural and agro-ecosystems.<\/p>\n

    Goals<\/b>
    \nGenomic revolution, global climate change, and big data (meta-analysis) took over ESA, BSA, ASPB, and any other society that has plant focus. This shift in attention left ecophysiology and \u2018classical physiology\u2019 without home. Within last 10 years I have noticed that at any of these big society meetings there is only one or at the most two symposia\/session in any relevance to my research \u2013 explicitly 3-6 hours of talks and handful of posters making trips to this meeting almost irrelevant. It is down-ward spiral of self-fulfilling prophecy of diminishing relevance of what we do \u2013 less visibility, less funding etc. Surprisingly it is not for the absence of students, postdocs and faculty. A recent search for the eco-physiologist at UC Davis had over 90 qualified candidates \u2013 if only all of them went to ESA meeting it would be a feast for thought. Thus my overarching goal is making ESA meeting an attractive destination for plant organismal physiologist and eco-physiologists and to generate new enthusiasm for the filed. As previous efforts to utilize classical venues like webpages, Facebook to increase our visibility seemed to reach their peak my specific goals would be to (1) encourage attendance and submission of session proposals using our personal contacts. (2) Encourage group leaders to attend ESA meeting (not just sending students) \u2013 Student and postdocs are going to this meeting to make contacts, find role models, be stimulated. If faculty is not there, the meeting attractiveness is not there either. Faculty need to find time to do it and I will work hard to make it happen. (3) Make section meeting at ESA more fun, not just food. I will also try to encourage faculty to organize multi-lab informal mixers, dinners etc. (4) Encourage whole labs attendance even including lab members who are presenting. In fact, on personal note, I took my entire lab (6 people \u2013 only two presenters) for the BSA meeting this year and I was absolutely impressed how this four-day event stimulated lab members\u2019 creativity and enthusiasm for conducting research. Of course, I would continue my predecessors established leadership in generating opportunities for students by helping defray meeting costs, and I will continue to work with our sponsors to maintain, and hopefully increase, the travel and distinction awards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      2016 ESA Annual Meeting: Call for Contributed Abstracts (Talks, Posters, Lightning Talks)<\/h2>\n

      Call for Contributed Abstracts: Talks, Posters, Lightning Talks<\/p>\n

      101st Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of America; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; August 7-12, 2016<\/a><\/p>\n

      Deadline for Submission: Thursday, February 25, 2016. Only complete proposals submitted by 5:00 PM Eastern Time (2:00 PM Pacific) will be considered.<\/p>\n

      Join us in sunny Fort Lauderdale this summer as we begin ESA\u2019s second century with sessions that explore our meeting theme, \u201cNovel Ecosystems in the Anthropocene.\u201d<\/p>\n

      With a rapidly changing climate, altered hydrological and nutrient cycles, dominance of large regions by agricultural and urban ecosystems, and massive movement of species to new continents, the Earth has entered a new epoch characterized by human influence. Understanding the basic principles of ecology will be more important than ever before, to predict how new combinations of species in new environments will develop into functioning, novel ecosystems. We encourage abstracts that address ecosystem structure and function responses to multiple drivers of change, management of developing novel ecosystems, and potential benefits and problems that society will face as we progress into the Anthropocene Epoch. Although abstracts related to the meeting\u2019s theme are encouraged, any timely and coherent subject of broad interest to ecologists will be considered. We also welcome abstracts that explore interdisciplinary connections with areas of social and natural science outside of ecology or that relate to ecological education at any level.<\/p>\n

      All abstracts will be reviewed using guidelines described in the abstract calls. Abstracts will be sorted into thematic sessions based on topics ranked by the submitting author at the time of abstract submission. By submitting an abstract, authors are indicating they expect to be available during any of the appropriate time slots.<\/p>\n

      Contributed talks<\/a>\u00a0are scheduled for 15 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions (20 minutes total). Oral sessions could be scheduled Monday afternoon through Friday morning.<\/p>\n

      Contributed posters<\/a>\u00a0will be scheduled for a two hour session in the late afternoon. Poster sessions could be scheduled Monday through Thursday.<\/p>\n

      Contributed Lightning Talks<\/a>\u00a0are scheduled for 5 minutes with shared discussion time. Lightning sessions could be scheduled Monday afternoon through Friday morning.<\/p>\n

      Student Awards<\/p>\n

      Students who would like to be considered for best student presentation for talks and posters (Buell\/Braun awards) should apply by following the instructions in the calls for contributed abstracts. The application deadline is the same as the abstract deadline, February 25 at 5:00 PM Eastern (2:00 PM Pacific).<\/p>\n

      If you have any questions, please contact the Program Chair, Lee Frelich, at freli001@umn.edu or the Program Coordinator, Jennifer Riem, at jennifer@esa.org.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

        ESA Meeting Follow-up<\/h2>\n

        Dear Member of the Physiological Ecology Section, ESA:<\/p>\n

        The Section was well represented at the ESA meeting this year! It was particularly inspiring to see so many undergraduates, graduate students, and post-docs doing fascinating and important research. The future of the Section seems in good hands. At the business meeting and mixer, we promised to send two questions posed by Monica Turner, the incoming President of ESA, that are relevant not only to ESA but to the Section. Whether or not you came to the meeting, please take a minute to answer the following by replying to this email. If you\u2019d like to add any other comments or suggestions, please do!<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. What benefits would make it imperative to belong to ESA (and the Physiological Ecology Section) and consistently maintain membership?<\/li>\n
        2. How can we assure that ESA (and Physiological Ecology) remain vital as the landscape of science changes?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Next, two additions to announcements made at the meeting: First, we thank LI-COR Biosciences for being a steadfast supporter of student travel awards and of the Section in general. Second, we thank Adam Roddy and Jesse Blanchard for serving as student liaisons to the Section. Jesse has graciously volunteered to continue for another year, and it would be great if a plant physiological ecology student would like to volunteer to replace (the otherwise irreplaceable) Adam. Please notify Jesse (jblan138@fiu.edu), Kate (kmcculloh@wisc.edu), or Gretchen (gnorth@oxy.edu) if you have any interest in representing the Section as student liaison or as Secretary, 2016-2017 . We\u2019ll be glad to answer any questions you have about the duties (not to mention the perks).<\/p>\n

          Also, remember\u00a0Phys-Fest<\/a>. It\u2019s a workshop designed to train grad students and postdocs in various eco-physiological techniques. It will take place on the Konza Prairie from June 5-9, 2016.<\/p>\n

          Finally, we look forward to seeing you in Fort Lauderdale in 2016, where we have been told to expect ocean breezes!<\/p>\n

          We invite proposals for Ignite ESA Sessions, Workshops, Special Sessions, and Field Trips for ESA\u2019s 100th Annual Meeting. Join us in beautiful historic Baltimore next summer to celebrate ESA\u2019s first century and usher in the next.<\/p>\n

          ESA currently stands at a boundary between 100 successful years for the Society and an uncharted future for the planet. Appropriately, the Centennial meeting will support both retrospective and prospective sessions. Proposals examining historical topics and the history of ecology are encouraged, as well as proposals from early career ecologists and students that shine a light on the future of ecological science.<\/p>\n

          Although session proposals related to the meeting\u2019s theme are encouraged, any timely and coherent subject of broad interest to ecologists will be considered. We also welcome proposals that explore interdisciplinary connections with areas of social and natural science outside of ecology or that relate to ecological education at any level. All proposals will be peer reviewed using criteria described in the proposal calls.<\/p>\n

          Ignite ESA<\/a>\u00a0is intended to stimulate the exchange of new and exciting ideas in a short time period. Sessions consist of 6-10 5-minute talks which address a common theme and are presented in the Ignite style: 20 slides that advance automatically every 15 seconds.<\/p>\n

          Workshops<\/a>\u00a0are sessions intended to convey specific knowledge or skills. Workshops are frequently more interactive and informal than sessions within the formal scientific program, and often involve hands-on training. They are not intended for the presentation of research papers.<\/p>\n

          Special sessions<\/a>\u00a0complement the formal scientific program, providing an opportunity for presentations or extended dialogue beyond what is usually possible in the regular scientific sessions. These sessions do not conform to any single structure. They are not intended for the presentation of formal research papers.<\/p>\n

          Field trips<\/a>\u00a0offer attendees an opportunity to visit ecologically significant locations such as conservation areas, restoration projects, research sites, local communities, and cultural landmarks. Full day and overnight trips are held over the preceding weekend. Shorter trips can be held during the week.<\/p>\n
