Send me your best ecology and environmental science posts from the past month and I'll compile 'em in the first themed edition of Oekologie. I've been reading about the early botanical and zoological writings of ancient civilizations lately, particularly Arabic and Greek, and I thought it would provide a nice frame for the carnival (I've done the history bit before in Tangled Bank #71 with the Enlightenment).
So, early ecological writings is the word for Oekologie #5. Now I just need a bunch more submissions...
EDIT: I should mention that I'm looking for just ordinary ecology/env sci posts from contributors... don't worry about writing a special post on early zoological writings for this edition. I'll handle that part.

Hey Jeremy; here's the paper I found which I mentioned in my comments the other day. It definitely made me more interested in what really went on as far as how people used nature prior to agriculture.
Thanks so much Brian.
