[ECOLOG-L] AGU Session H87: Non-equilibrium Drivers in Mediterranean Climate River and Riparian Ecosystems (John Stella)

Dear Colleagues, We invite abstract submissions to a session on riparian processes and ecosystems in areas of Mediterranean climate, to be held at the Fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco (Dec 12-17). Session description and contact information for the conveners are

[ECOLOG-L] Relevance to Ecology Re: [ECOLOG-L] Catalunya

Honorable Forum: Re: "Why all this information has any relevance at all in the Ecolog forum?" I continue to assert that culture is a psychopathology. Brutality (needless infliction of damage) is not so much (though it exists, as seen through our enculturated eyes) the province of "brutes" (the

I am an NSF IGERT PhD student at the Biology Dept. of Northern Arizona University and am partnering with the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff, AZ on an educational, outreach program that will explore the concept of ecological communities using examples from the Colorado Plateau region. The

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Catalunya

BillI agree with you. Back in the day, I was fortunate to have Professor Margalef as one of my teachers. He was already Emeritus professor but my class enjoyed his very special lectures, sporadic and full of brain gymnastics. Professor Margalef made an extraordinary effort to translate many of h

[ECOLOG-L] Catalunya

To add an ecological footnote to Sarah's posting, I remember on one occasion when I went to visit with Ramón Margalef as I walked in the door he looked up apologetically and told me that since the Spanish government had just authorised the use of the Catalan language, he was busy translating his

Thank you Judith - well phrased, and thanks to the others for the toxicological perspective. Two other factors that could be contributing to the increased toxicity of the oil with the dispersants have not been discussed: 1. The lighter oils in the dispersants can act to facilitate biological uptak

MikeThere is no need for apology, as my post was trying to correct a pervasive error and misreporting that keeps showing up on CNN and many other news broadcasts. I also provided a bit of history on this subject for all those at the list server who might be interested in the recent development o

[ECOLOG-L] AGU Session on Ecohydrology and Water Quality

Dear Colleagues, We are organizing a session at the Fall 2010 American Geophysical Union Conference in San Francisco, December 13-17, entitled: “H28: New challenges for ecohydrology and integrated water quality modelling at the watershed scale” (see below for details). Please consider submitt

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Good news from the Gulf? not so fast...

It remains incontravertible that there is a new ecological 'baseline' in the regions of the Gulf that have been affected by the oil eruption.  The breadth of the area affected is still to be assessed, the extent and duration also still to be assessed.  Then again all ecosystems go through shifti

Hummingbirds must like it hot, for there were tons of them in sweltering 90-degree-plus weather at Land Between the Lakes this week when we went out for annual Hummingbird Festival at Woodlands Nature Station in Kentucky. We did see lots of hummers--including one with an interesting foot problem

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Good news from the Gulf? not so fast...

To expand on this point, if you were to drink methanol (wood alcohol), your body would metabolize it to formaldehyde and then formic acid. It's the formic acid that would blind or kill you. (This happened a lot during Prohibition.) Jane Shevtsov On Wed, Aug 11, 2010 at 12:22 PM, David M. Lawrence

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Good news from the Gulf?

I think the scientific community IS willing to consider that things may not be as bad as they seem in the Gulf spill. It is just that it is premature to do so and the article you posted wasn't very good, as you yourself admit, it "paints an incomplete and misleading picture". We don't need to
