Did you see our new video about 🚨Synthesis Science🚨?

It highlights a unique way the LTER Network advances ecology!

And, we have a Synthesis RFP open now, too!

Congratulations to Mack White on his new PNAS paper! He led our LTER working group at NCEAS in studying how fish diversity relates to the stability of nutrient recycling. Years of work behind this one. Well done, Mack!

New paper! “Ten simple rules for team synthesis in ecological research” is out in Methods in Ecology and Evolution.
doi.org/10.1111/2041-2…

Distills combined decades of synthesis experience to make helpful recommendations for newcomers and experienced synthesizers alike.

Making your plan for #ESA2026? Check out the @uslter.bsky.social events, including lots of great talks, workshops, and special sessions as well as our Monday night mixer. And don't forget the Tuesday night "Tap takeover" with the Long Term Studies Section.
