Colleagues, As an Ecology graduate student, one of my favorite classes was "Classical Ecology" taught by Eric Post at Penn State, which paired readings from the Foundations of Ecology text with recent high-impact publications that built on the theory from the classics. I am now teaching courses to undergraduate and graduate students on agroecology and cropping systems. I am interested in developing a similar type of course, where students engage with "classical" readings in the area of agroecology (i.e., Root RB. 1973. Organization of a plant-arthropod association in simple and diverse habitats: the fauna of collards (*Brassica oleracea*). Ecol Monogr 43:95–124.)
Any suggestions on papers you'd consider classics related to ecological concepts in agricultural systems? Many thanks, Randa Randa Jabbour Assistant professor of Agroecology Plant Sciences University of Wyoming
