Symposia

In the past, the Theoretical Ecology Section sponsored symposia at the annual meetings of the Ecological Society of America. This page contains links to the programs and abstracts for these symposia. Although ESA Sections no longer officially sponsor symposia, we still encourage the submission of theory-related symposia topics to ESA and we can provide a letter of support for symposia submissions.
