About this Research Topic
“Surviving the Anthropocene: the 3 E’s under pressing planetary issues” is a collection of selected work presented at the 53rd Ontario Ecology, Ethology, and Evolution Colloquium, OE3C 2023 (https://oe3c2023.com/). For the past 52 years, OE3C has brought together ecologists, ethologists, evolutionary biologists and related professionals to discuss the most pressing issues. This collection covers any work that showcases what biologists are studying within the three E’s and how these studies can inform our future steps into the Anthropocene.
We welcome original Research Articles, Systematic Reviews, Reviews, Mini Reviews, Policy & Practice Reviews, Perspectives, and Opinions on the following topics (but not limited to):
- How the challenges of the Anthropocene can affect the ecology, ethology, and evolution of species?
- Are the disciplines of Ecology, Ethology, and Evolution prepared for the changes (both societal and planetary) that will be brought about during the Anthropocene?
- How can biologists apply their expertise to inform society (both the public at large and decision makers) amidst this uncertain future?
Keywords: Anthropocene, Anthropogenic effects, Climate-change ecology, biodiversity loss, planetary boundaries, habitat change, phenological change, science Policy
