New Editor | Jamie Kass, editor for Software Notes
We welcome Jamie Kass to Ecography!
About our new Software Notes editor:
I am an Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Life Sciences at Tohoku University in Japan, where I run the Macroecology Lab. Our research investigates how biodiversity is distributed across space and time, how the way we measure biodiversity affects these patterns, and how global change will alter them.
We have eclectic interests and thus investigate a broad range of taxa (e.g., plankton, insects, and vertebrates) and geographical extents (e.g., Japan, Asia, global). We are currently focusing on how to predict and map functional diversity to ascertain ecosystem services provisions, how to calculate Essential Biodiversity Variables for Asia, how to measure and report ecosystem restoration success, and how to effectively employ remote wildlife monitoring techniques to estimate occupancy and abundance, among other topics. As we code a lot, we also love open software and sometimes produce packages to share with the research community.

Ecography—who are we?
ECOGRAPHY: A Journal of Space and Time in Ecology is an Open Access journal owned by the Nordic Society Oikos.
Our journal strives to understand ecological or biodiversity patterns through space and time. We encourage papers to advance the field of macroecology and biogeography through the development and testing of theory or modern methodology (remote sensing, molecular techniques, AI) or by proposing new tools for analysis or interpretation of ecological phenomena. There are no biases with regard to taxon, biome, or biogeographical area.

Our journals, our society—join us!
The Nordic Society Oikos engages the global scientific community through five international journals…
…and supports the national ecological societies of the five Nordic countries. Anyone worldwide can join the Nordic Society Oikos.
NSO is a home for ecologists, a nexus for knowledge, and a guiding light for ecology worldwide. We are an active network of ecologists in the Nordic region and around the globe.
Why join NSO? Membership benefits include:
Connections across a global community of ecologists and five national societies
NSO newsletters with member-only updates about Nordic ecology and society activities
Ongoing opportunities for promotion on NSO’s digital platforms and social media channels
Discounted registration for NSO’s biennial conference
Eligibility to apply for NSO Grants
Each member receives additional benefits from one of our five national societies:
When you join NSO, you also become a member of one of our national societies. Which one? That’s up to you! Each national society provides its own benefits, including discounts to national conferences. Learn more about us at nordicsocietyoikos.org.
