Woodwell's many contributions to the Ecological Society of America, to the advancement of ecological science in general, and especially to the application of ecological insights to public affairs, we offer this Resolution of Respect (Photo 1).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;George Masters Woodwell was born October 23, 1928, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, and died June 18, 2024, in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. He graduated from the Boston Public Latin School and from Dartmouth College (AB 1950). He spent 3 years in the US Navy (1950–1953) before attending graduate school at Duke University, where he received an AM in 1956 and a Ph.D. in 1958, both in botany, working with Henry J. Oosting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After leaving Duke, Dr. Woodwell taught for 3 years in the Department of Botany at the University of Maine before joining the staff of Brookhaven National Laboratory in the spring of 1961. In 1975, he moved to the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole to become the Director of The Ecosystems Center. In 1985, he founded and was director of the Woods Hole Research Center (now the Woodwell Climate Research Center). He also held an adjunct appointment at Yale University.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr. Woodwell's research focused on the structure and function of natural ecosystems and their role as building blocks of the biosphere. He is perhaps best known for his work with DDT, ionizing radiation, and climate, but his focus was ecosystem science. He demonstrated the persistence of DDT in soil and its amplification through food chains. He studied the effects of ionizing radiation on an oak–pine forest, but the work pertained to chronic disturbances of all kinds, the effects of which he labeled “biotic impoverishment.” His work on forests with R. H. Whittaker also led to the development of the production equations (gross and net primary production, autotrophic and ecosystem respiration, and net ecosystem production), which categorized the functioning of ecosystems in terms of energy and carbon budgets. Dr. Woodwell's later work distinguished between direct and indirect anthropogenic effects (e.g., land-use change and climatic feedbacks, respectively) on the global carbon budget.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr. Woodwell was a member of the National Academy of Science and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He received the Heinz Environmental Prize in 1996, the John H. Chafee Excellence in Environmental Affairs Award in 2000, and the Volvo Environment Prize in 2001. He received an honorary doctorate from Duke in 1994.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having worked at research centers, Dr. Woodwell did not have students, as such, but he did mentor a number of postdoctoral investigators and early-career scientists, including Henry Art, Daniel Botkin, Eric Davidson, Charles Hall, Richard Houghton, Robert Howarth, Jerry Melillo, Peter H. Rich, and David Whitney.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr. Woodwell was among the first scientists to recognize the threats to people and the planet of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.

Discussions at the crossroads of ecology and education are particularly important to all those interested in better understanding how ecology can foster change among educational institutions. In this context, this article offers a review of key discussions on how education and ecology, as distinct domains of study and application, inform each other and support transformational shifts among educational institutions at all levels. It is shown that the teaching and learning of ecology among educational institutions have been key concerns for ecologists historically and that educational philosophers and theorists have been finding it important to increase awareness of our interconnectivity with natural systems through education.</p>","PeriodicalId":93418,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America","volume":"106 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bes2.2200","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143119038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Free Online Multiplayer Games as Inclusive Tools for Teaching Ecology","authors":"Mohammad Bagher Erfanian","doi":"10.1002/bes2.2203","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/bes2.2203","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Teaching ecology is the primary way of communicating the current knowledge in the discipline to future generations. Besides general tools (e.g., lectures, videos, simulations, and having students read published literature), experimenting and field practices are two principal ways to teach ecology. However, funding shortages along with the fact that some phenomena occur in large spatial and long temporal scales, hinder the use of experiments and fieldwork in pedagogy. Computer-based games are interactive digital tools that were initially designed to be entertaining and engaging. In addition, they are effective motivational educational tools that are already being used in the pedagogy of various majors. Still, few studies have assessed the application of games in teaching ecology. Although those studies reported positive feedback from the students, they reported that making these games is expensive and time-consuming. Therefore, educators would benefit from using free and globally accessible games. Here, I introduce the application of online multiplayer games in teaching ecology. Recently, I explored a snake game in which its environment resembles artificial ecosystems. Each player (i.e., each snake) can be regarded as an individual of a population or a species within a community. Then, a couple of general ecological rules, phenomena, and analyses can be easily inferred from these games. I asked the undergraduate students to play these games, collect the data, and write a report on their analysis. The students deduced different ecological phenomena from their in-game experience and reported these games are useful and fun to play. Many games have been produced to increase global awareness of human actions on the environment. These games are geared toward various age groups, including children, young adults, and adults. Two obstacles hinder the use of these games in pedagogy. First, most of the games are not globally accessible, and second, their effectiveness in teaching has not been assessed yet. I envision a future where online games are integrated as part of the pedagogy in ecology. These games are globally accessible, therefore, no barriers exist to test the application of these games. I encourage the readers to conduct a global survey on their usefulness. This might be a step toward reaching a globally inclusive pedagogy in ecology.</p>","PeriodicalId":93418,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America","volume":"106 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bes2.2203","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143118651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
