The logo is envisaged to represent the different study systems in the field of Chemical Ecology unified by Chemistry symbolised by the Rutherford-Bohr model of an atom. Each hexagon represents organisms that use chemicals in communication and in defence. The green plant represents chlorophyll-rich organisms which are chemical-rich factories that support higher trophic levels. The polluting factory represents the planet-altering effects of the Anthropocene whose impact on Chemical Ecology is barely understood.
