"/Teaching Ecology/"

Thursday, February 3 @12:15

Note: This Eco-Lunch will be a slightly different format to normal. 
Following from his NCEAS project of a graduate textbook, Gary will be 
leading a discussion on how to teach community ecology, including: what 
topics are essential; how to best organize them into a class syllabus or 
text; as well as what topics are new and hot and are likely to still be 
important 20 years from now.

"... community ecology is a mess..." John Lawton ( Oikos 84, 1999 )

vs.

" conceptual synthesis in community ecology.." Mark Vellend ( Quart. Rev 
Biol. 85, 2010 )
