Title: |
Big Questions in Ecology and Evolution |
|
Speaker: |
David Wilkinson |
|
Description: |
‘Big
Questions’ is the title of a new book and David Wilkinson is one of the two
authors. The book explores the relationship between ecology and evolution by
asking simple questions which have deep implications for both subject areas.
Some of the questions are ‘Why do we age?’, ‘Why is the land green (instead of
being overgrazed by expanding populations of herbivores)?’, ‘Why is the sea blue
(as opposed to being thick with plants, as most terrestrial habitats are)?’,
‘Why does life not consist of a single species?’. The answers to these questions
sometimes produce surprising ideas and information.**The
meeting will take place in a new location **
8pm,
upstairs at the Queens Arms, 201 Harrogate Road, Chapel Allerton.
