A well-meaning link, but, like when you read something about yourself in the paper, total bollocks. The bit about survival of the fittest is a giveaway. The writer understands nothing about evolutionary theory. Enough to stop me reading all the rest of it. Cynical junk

Perhaps it was just a bit above your head Steve.

In my work, I take an interdisciplinary approach that combines paleoenvironmental reconstructions, modern field experiments, biogeographic data analysis, and modeling of past landscapes. My goal is to help other ecologists, conservationists, and policy makers better understand how ecosystems have responded to past change, in order to make informed decisions about present and future landscapes.

I have recently begun a position as Assistant Professor of Paleoecology and Plant Ecology at the University of Maine, held jointly with the School of Biology & Ecology and the Climate Change Institute. I'm thrilled to be joining a program with a long history of excellent research in ecology, climate change, and Quaternary studies.
