An interview with the Senior Editors of the British Ecological Society journal Methods in Ecology and Evolution - Rob Freckleton, Bob O'Hara and Jana Vamosi. They talk about what sets it apart from other journals, their favourite articles, and the kinds of papers that they would like to see more of. If you're thinking about submitting to Methods in Ecology and Evolution, they have some advice as well. Articles Mentioned by the Editors: - Applications articles (http://www.methodsinecologyandevolution.org/view/0/applicationpapers.html) - Tea Bag Index: a novel approach to collect uniform decomposition data across ecosystems (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/2041-210X.12097/full) - A protocol for data exploration to avoid common statistical problems (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.2041-210X.2009.00001.x/full) - How safe is mist netting? evaluating the risk of injury and mortality to birds (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.2041-210X.2011.00123.x/full) - Personal messages reduce vandalism and theft of unattended scientific equipment (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/2041-210X.12132/full) - A simple approach for maximizing the overlap of phylogenetic and comparative data (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/2041-210X.12517/full)

Do more diverse mixtures of plants function more efficiently and take up more carbon? Previous studies have suggested this occurs frequently in grasslands when species are mixed. Other studies have now suggested that the same can be true of genetic mixtures within a species. In this podcast, Dylan G. Fischer talks about the results of the first forest ecosystem-scale experiment designed to test if more diverse mixtures of genetic stock result in more productive forests http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1365-2435.12733/full
