Big Questions in Ecology and Evolution
Monday Jul 13th
David Wilkinson from John Moores University in Liverpool
‘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 be held at the Queens Arms, 201 Harrogate Road , Chapel Allerton. Doors will open at 7.30pm and the meeting will begin at 8pm.
