Emerging field of neuroecology is showcased in December issue of the Biological Bulletin

Neuroecology bridges a critical gap between studying the neural basis of behavior (neuroethology) and evaluating the consequences of that behavior at the ecological levels of populations and communities. Richard K. Zimmer of UCLA and Charles D. Derby of Georgia State University have organized a "virtual symposium" of leading-edge research in neuroecology for the December issue of the Biological Bulletin, published by the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass.
