EECB Book Clubs
If you are interested in organizing an EECB book club
please contact the EECB Chair, Dr. Bob Thomson and/or the
EECB grad reps. All, including faculty and staff, are very
welcome to participate.
Scientific writing,
publishing and reviewing—a guide for students
As a follow-up to the 30 October 2015 Evoluncheon (Drs.
Mark Hixon and Rob Toonen), a link is provided here to Mark's extremely useful 2004
co-authored paper "Scientific writing, publishing and
reviewing—a guide for students" published in the
Ecological Society of America Bulletin. And here is a link to former EECB
faculty member Dr. Chris Lepczyk's 2011 paper "A
beginner's guide to reviewing manuscripts in ecology and
conservation" published in Ideas in Ecology and Evolution.
