Botkin’s Discordant Harmonies, a comment
The 1990 book Discordant Harmonies by Daniel B Botkin, professor of Biology and Environmental Studies, is a wonderful treatment of Ecology, the subject, and Ecology, the policy, as it should be seen. Professor Botkin is first and foremost a teacher, … Continue reading

Lotka-Volterra systems and predator-prey relationships
Lotka-Volterra systems are one of the oldest and most fundamental mathematical renditions of ecological problems. They are typically illustrated with predator-prey relationships, but I was introduced to them dealing with problems of competition for space by plants in niche ecological … Continue reading
