Dear Group, We have had a good question from Mark Emerson, please feel free to reply either publically or privately. I will reply myself soon: Hello all, I was hoping that I might be able to join this email group. I am currently teaching an upper-division course in 'practical computing for biologists' and am looking for good examples of how computation is applied in ecology. I am, by training, an evolutionary geneticist using next-gen sequencing and have a great deal of literature for the students in this field, but I would like to diversify the papers that they read - showing that computation can facilitate research in any subdiscipline of biology. I am looking for recommendations for undergraduate-accessible papers that really show how computation can be used to address fundamental questions in ecology. In particular, papers that focus on the biology and not the computational aspects, are best - I want them to survey the biology, not the computational approaches. Thank you very much for any suggestions. Warmest, Kevin Emerson ------------------ Kevin J Emerson, PhD Assistant Professor of Biology Biology Department St. Mary's College of Maryland 18952 E.
