I've posted the notes on diversity and stability. You'll notice that I've scheduled two lectures for the topic, Wednesday the 3rd and Monday the 8th. It's received a lot of attention, and it's pretty controversial. I'm pretty sure that some of the ecologists in the course know more about the debate than I do, and I hope that one or more of them will challenge the things I get wrong and set me straight. Depending on how much of that there is, we may spend part of Wednesday the 10th's lecture on this topic, too.
Also, don't forget that Michael Bean is giving the Teale Lecture on Thursday at 4:00pm. He'll be speaking on “Endangered species conservation: an assessment and prognosis.” Now that you're all experts on management of endangered species and the ESA, I'm sure you'll find his take on the problems quite interesting.
