The Ecological Society of America published a special open access issue of Frontiers in Ecology on Wednesday, focusing on sustainability in light of unprecedented human mobility, aka globalization.
All of the articles agree on one thing: Ecology itself needs to be more effectively globalized, placing sound science in the hands of effective communicators and policy makers.
Two articles discuss this in greater detail, both worth a look: the introduction and a short paper reviewing applied ecological knowledge.

I was checking this out yesterday after someone emailed me the link (lots of invasive species stuff in there) - I don't understand why the front page of this "special issue" is done up as a giant annoying imagemap.

Yeah, that was my first thought too, Jenn. The image is not even at the right resolution either; it's all blurry.
