While I am a writer, I don't edit myself very well -- especially after a day
of physically demanding field work. I see some misspellings and missing
words in my previous post -- after I sent it. No one needs to point them
out :)

Dear Grumpy Old Ecologist,
"Precision" in language is a noble goal, but as someone who has spent a
couple of decades writing for the public, "assisted migration" is preferable
to terms like "human-assisted range extension" when communicating with the

I had a publication which I can no longer find by Katrina Brandon that I
think was dated in the early 80's (I picked it up at a conference at
Cornell) put out by WWF. Seems to me that it was a study of the

I also have considerable experience trying to anchor ibuttons in stream
beds. I have found that ibuttons are fairly durable, although there is
definitely a failure rate, which seems to increase with the depth they are
submerged.
For measuring surface stream temps I have attached them to

Good point Bill. But, while some things may be labeled "assisted
migration" many things that fall under that heading are not. Such as
the Florida Torreya, the first example in the Conservation Biology paper
on the topic. That would clearly be called something like "Assisted
range extension".

In this debate we should keep in mind that many migration patterns are not
fixed but adapt to conditions. We see this in the marine environment where
some migratory species are seen to be changing their feeding and spawning
grounds in response to changes in sea temperature and other factors. On
While I share Wayne's skepticism about the desirability of a biocalculus

sentence, 'To be "science," they say, it must be reduced to numbers, to
(endless, irrelevant) decimal points.' Hey Wayne, the people who add the

A little while ago we posted a question on how to track bumblebees in a
