Gary Powney and Tom Oliver explain how using data from the UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme they can assess functional connectivity - the permeability of landscapes.

Nicholas Gotelli and Fernando T. Maestre discuss simple randomization tests for quantifying the effect of species on ecosystem variables, and the use of "natural experiments" to explore their contribution to ecosystem function.

Shannon Pelini demonstrates experimental equipment designed to test the effects of warmer climates on forest ecosystems - and, particuarly, arthropods.

Brett Favaro, Simon Fraser University and Vancouver Island University, demonstrates the construction of TrapCam apparatus: an inexpensive camera system developed for the study of deepwater animals and ecology.

Adam Davis demonstrates how field experiments and statistical models can can enable the extrapolation of long-term seed predation rates from short-term data

On the 9th of March, 2011, Methods in Ecology and Evolution sponsored this symposium with over 200 delegates and 12 speakers, held at the Zoological Society of London meeting rooms
