Template:New unreviewed article Background:
The Australian Ecology Research Award (AERA)^[1] is an award presented by the Ecological Society of Australia for a specific body of recent ecological work by a mid-career researcher. It was inspired, in part, by the Robert H. Macarthur Award of the Ecological Society of America^[2]. The award was initiated in 2008, and nominations are invited every year^[3], with a deadline of ca. 30-April. The AERA is not restricted to any particular sector, and aims to recognize outstanding ecological research. Nominations of researchers from academia, and the public and private sector agencies are invited annually. While peer-nomination is preferred, self-nomination is not discouraged.

All nominees are reviewed by a panel of experts, chaired by the Vice President - Research of the Ecological Society of Australia. Based on panel deliberations, the VP-Research seeks ratification of the selected nominee by the Board of Directors of the Ecological Society of Australia, prior to formal notification of the awardee.

The successful nominee is presented the AERA at the Annual Conference of the Ecological Society of Australia, that is typically held in the last quarter of each year.

Obligations of AERA recipients include:

Delivery of the AERA plenary lecture at the Annual Conference in the year of the award, and
Publication of an article, based on their plenary lecture, in Austral Ecology^[4], the flagship journal of the Ecological Society of Australia
