03/12/2018 - The limnologist Steve Carpenter, awardee of the Margalef Ecology Prize 2018
On November 13, the Ramon Margalef Prize of Ecology 2018 of the Generalitat was awarded to the American limnologist Steve Carpenter (Limnology Center, University of Wisconsin, USA).
Professor Carpenter, expert in limnology (the science that studies freshwater ecosystems), has been recognized as one of the most influential researchers in the field of Ecology. His work, valued as "creative and original" by the committee, has transformed our understanding of freshwater ecosystems, the environmental problems they face, and has contributed to improving the rational use of water resources.
Since 2004, the prize is dedicated to distinguish researchers from around the world who work to advance in the field of Ecology. The award honors the memory of Professor Ramon Margalef (Barcelona, 1919-2004), an internationally recognized ecologist for his valuable contribution to the development of modern ecology.
On December 19, 2018 the award ceremony will take place in the Aula Magna of the Faculty of Biology of the University of Barcelona, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and will include the participation of the invited experts Biel Obrador (DBEECA, UB), Jordi Martínez-Vilalta (CREAF, UAB), Cristina Linares (DBEECA, UB), Sergi Sabater (ICRA, UdG) and Narcis Prat (DBEECA, UB).

29/10/2018 - Ecology Day (September 14th, 2018)
The Portuguese Ecological Society (SPECO), one of the SIBECOL components, together with the European Ecological Federation (EEF), called the United Nations to establish the Ecology Day on 14th September 2018. The date is symbolic as it refers to the publication date of the modern definition of the ecology concept by the scientist and artist Ernst Haeckel. In fact, this proposal directly follows up on the celebration for its 150th anniversary organized by the EEF back in 2016 and concluded by a Round Table held at the European Parliament in Brussels.
The Ecology Day is an initiative aimed at showing to the general public how the transdisciplinar knowledge of ecologists may turn into a valuable tool to tackle economic challenges and health problems in order to create a more sustainable biosphere and a more equitable society. The past September 14th, ecologists around Italy, Portugal or Spain shared their knowledge and research activities to citizens of all ages offering diverse activities and workshops during the whole day.

08/10/2018 - XIV Edition of the Ramon Margalef Ecology Prize
On August 3, 2018, the fourteenth edition of the Ramon Margalef Ecology Prize was convened. The award, which is international in scope, aims to recognize people, entities or groups from all over the world who have distinguished themselves exceptionally in the field of ecology. The prize money includes eighty thousand euros and a symbolic piece in memory of Ramon Margalef.
The Ramon Margalef d'Ecologia Prize was created by the Generalitat de Catalunya in 2004. The award honors the memory of Professor Ramon Margalef (Barcelona, 1919-2004), an internationally recognized limnologist, oceanographer and ecologist who carried out a scientific and intellectual task of the first magnitude in the field of modern ecology. The scientific work of Margalef is huge, contributing remarkably to the development of areas such as population ecology, limnology, as well as to our understanding of ecosystems and the role of the human being in the biosphere.
Previous editions have awarded scientists like Paul Dayton, John Lawton, Harold Mooney, Daniel Pauly, Paul Ehrlich, Simon Levin, Juan Carlos Castilla, Daniel Simberloff, Sallie Chisholm, David Tilman, Robert E. Ricklefs, Josep Peñuelas and, last year, Sandra Díaz.
