Very grateful to the editorial board for the opportunity to write about a topic I care deeply about. This review is deliberately opinionated, a personal view of where theory in community ecology stands and where it might go next. Pushback and disagreement are very welcome! doi.org/10.1146/annu...

Toward a Conceptual Commons for Theory in Community Ecology

Community ecology has developed a rich and increasingly diverse body of theory, but its rapid expansion has outpaced efforts to compare and synthesize competing frameworks. As a result, semantic ambig...

Although Priyanga was fired, the story very much continues for her as she is struggling to make ends meet without a job or prospects. She recently sold her home to move into a small apartment in LA. She made some mistakes...but the punishment so far exceeds the "crime" (see: gender and race)
