Research Description: I've suspended my research into theoretical ecology and evolution. Though many interesting questions remain, I lack sufficient funds from any source, federal or university, to sustain even a minimal research program. My present focus involves writing a book and designing a new course stemming from my interest in urban open space. Please see my website for more details.
