ECOLOGY AND SOCIETY New Issue Announcement Volume 13, Issue 2 | December 2008
Editors-in-Chief Carl Folke and Lance Gunderson are pleased to announce the publication of Volume 13, Issue 2 of Ecology and Society (http://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol13/iss2/). Highlights of this issue include Carpenter and Brock's contribution, Adaptive Capacity and Traps, which proposes a model from which insights into general properties of traps in socialecological systems can be derived (see: http://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol13/iss2/art40/). Also published in this issue is a description of the 2008 Science and Practice of Ecology and Society Award Winner, titled Omora Ethnobotanical Park and the UNESCO Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve by Eugene Hargrove and colleagues (http://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol13/iss2/art49/). Lastly, December marks the close of the special feature The Influence of Human Demography and Agriculture on Natural Systems in the Neotropics edited by Ricardo Grau, Mitch Aide, and Ariel Lugo, which explores human-driven landuse and landcover changes in the Neotropics and the opportunities and challenges presented by those changes (http://www.ecologyandsociety.org/viewissue.php?sf=35). A full table of contents is appended below.
