Abstract

AbstractA century‐spanning history of ecological research in North America is apparent in the titles of articles in the journal “Ecology.” Term counts in titles, tracked by text analysis over a century, revealed changes in the amount of attention paid to different subfields of the discipline, the development of new subfields, and increasing interaction with other branches of science. They are also relevant to the concept of progress in ecology.
