CALL FOR EXAMPLES OF CORRIDOR RESTORATION Ecological Restoration is planning a Special Issue for later this year on the “Ecological restoration of habitat corridors,” at all scales. The use of, and interest in, corridors as a remedy for wide-scale habitat fragmentation has attracted much attention. Corridors are being considered from the small scale (road crossings, avoidance of dams) to very large landscapes (continental-scale corridors that may facilitate life history needs of migratory and wide-ranging species). This Special Issue will have reviews of current approaches to corridor functioning and implementation, as well as papers on modern designs of corridors.
We now seek examples from practitioners of designed and built habitat corridors that can express the current state of the art of habitat design and functioning. We are also interested in examples of older corridors, where performance monitoring has been conducted. These restoration notes usually have a maximum length of 1,500 words, with 2 illustrations. We would appreciate submissions by April 1, 2012. Manuscripts should be submitted through our online portal at http://er.msubmit.net. The journal's preferred style and formatting can be found at http://er.uwpress.org. Please contact the Editorial Office [email protected] if you have any questions about potential contributions. This is an opportunity to communicate your corridor work and lessons learned to the restoration community and also to solicit useful advice. Steven N. Handel, Editor Brooke Maslo, Managing Editor
