In Defense of Ecology
Jonathan Shurin | Jan 21, 2001 | 3 min read
Raymond J. O'Connor1 attributes what he calls the "faltering progress of ecological research" to lack of creativity on the part of ecologists and a failure to follow the examples of more "successful" sciences (e.g., molecular genetics and physics). We agree that ecology would benefit from a greater emphasis on generality and conceptual unification. However, we take issue with both the contention that ecological science has failed to progress and that the approaches of other disciplines can be ap

However, I like to think it not a compulsion, but a Feng Shui approach to life. With this need for order, I may have been better suited to
