I've decided to juggle the lecture schedule – again. As I mentioned at the end of lecture on Wednesday, I have a little more I'd like to say about landscape change. Probably enough to fill about half an hour. But then, rather than just telling you about Josh Donlan's re-wilding proposal, I suggest we have a "mini case study" discussion. I've posted links to two papers that describe the ideas. Please read them and come prepared to discuss them. As I said, the idea sounds pretty preposterous at first, but the people proposing it are well-respected scientists and when you start to dig into it, the idea is less easy to dismiss than you might imagine.
I'll post a brief summary of the ideas and some points for discussion by Saturday night, if not sooner.
