Editor’s Selection: Poaching, Beer, Zombies, and Writer’s Block
April 1st, 2010 Editor's Selections 2 Comments
Jarrett Byrnes focuses on posts in ecology, environmental sciences, and evolution. He blogs at I’m a chordata, urochordata!
- How can you tell if people are poaching in a reserve? Roll the dice and ask away!
- Alistair Dove discusses the whys and wherefores of species accumulation curves – with special reference to calling it quits and having a beer.
- New work shows that turning invasive fire-ants into mindless zombies seems to be working quite well. Unless this is the start of the Zombacaylpse.
- Lastly, just a reminder on this April 1st of the very real problem of writer’s block in this publish or perish world. It’s shocking how accurate the scientific literature is on the topic.
