At the 2006 meeting in Memphis, the Physiological Ecology Section sponsored a Symposium titled "Thermal Physiology as a Biogeographic Determinant: Historical and Mechanistic Perspectives", organized by Sarah Gilman (University of Washington), Jonathan Stillman (San Francisco State University), and Joshua Tewksbury (University of Washington).
In 2005, the Section sponsored two organized oral sessions. Howard Neufeld (Appalachian State University) and Nancy Grulke (U.S. Forest Service) organized a session entitled "Appreciating the Impacts of Oxidative Stress: From Genes to Ecosystems." Additionally, Stan Wullschleger (Oak Ridge National Lab), Rob Jackson (Duke University), and Todd Dawson (University of California, Berkeley) organized a session entitled "Sensors and Sensor Networks in Ecology."
