Week 10

Species-Area Curves and the Latitudinal gradients (on Wednesday)

lecture is here: 14_latitudinal_gradient_1_1141.pdf

Reminder that Dr. Pippa Shepherd is coming on Monday to talk biodiversity values as expressed in Canadian conservation policy
B9242, 1300. She has posted one reading (and she will bring another, shorter commentary with her) Six common mistakes in conservation priority setting. It is short: please read it.

Readings for next week's workshop with Dr. Bruce Archibald:
Why more species in the tropics? Dr Archibald's view: Archibald_etal_2010.pdf
Here is a new paper in support of Dr. Archibald's preferred hypothesis: this new paper

Dr. Archibald may also talk about the origin of high beta diversity in the tropics. The original idea is here: Janzen_1967, a topic that Dr. Archibald may get to (it is cool).
