CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS The Ecological Society of America seeks photographs that depict ecological concepts and can be used to teach undergraduate ecology. We invite individuals with ecological photographs to submit them for peer review and inclusion in ESA's digital teaching library, EcoEd Digital Library. Examples of photograph subjects sought for EcoEd Digital Library: -- Noteworthy organisms, communities, and ecosystems. -- Ecological interactions. -- Human impacts on ecosystems, including management and restoration. -- Research methods and techniques (field or lab). REVIEW Submissions are accepted on a continual basis and will be reviewed 2-3 times per year. Submissions received by June 16, 2008 will be sent out for review and, if accepted, will be included in EcoEd DL by September 2008. Submissions received after June 16th will be reviewed in the fall. All submitted items are peer reviewed. The information provided with each submission is important for ecology educators searching for resources to use effectively in their courses. Therefore, both the photograph and its corresponding descriptions are required for a submission to be complete. Only submissions that meet all of the following criteria will be included in EcoEd DL: -- Visual quality and clarity. -- Ecological significance. -- Scientific accuracy. -- Instructional value.
