Tropical Ecology
- Ian and
Genevieve Giddy lead a discussion of the unique character of the web of
life in tropical forest.
- Tropical forests possess an unusually rich biodiversity.
But why?
Illustrating their talk with images of life in a Costa Rican cloud
forest, Ian
and Jenny explore theories of the rich and complex ecology of the
tropics. Our research on Neotropical ecology is presented as
descriptive
(like tree species diversity), as evolutionary (how Heliconia found its perfec pollinator), and
as predictive (notably, what's we're discovering about restoration
ecology).
