You may be asking yourself, What is The Planetary Ecologist -besides an obvious reference to Frank Herbert's Dune? The Planetary Ecologist is an attempt to create a space to discuss ecologically focused biology in a more focused environment. I Don't Go Out for Brunch is often a platform for politically, and intellectually charged subject matter, as well as just being a generally irreverant place full of comic books, movies and martial arts related content.
The Planetary Ecologist (TPE)is meant to be something different, something, as I said, more focused. While there may be some overlap of science content TPE will generally focus on organismal biology, evolutionary biology, ecology and conservation biology. I will also post my observations from my excursions in the woods. In fact I expect my bird lists will inspire a great deal of the science content of this blog.
Features on the blog will be (but not limited to):
Naturalist Notes
In the Naturalist Notes, I will largely be discussing what I am seeing during my time in the field. It will no doubt seem bird heavy, but hey, its what I know best. However don't worry, there will plenty of botany, and entomology to go along with what is sure to be a lot of vertebrate zoology.
Ecological Topics:
I envision this to take several forms.
1.Ecological Concepts: Getting the reader acquainted with the basic science of Ecology
2. Conspicuous Examples: Here I will hopefully be able to expand on those examples by using conspicuous examples from the real world with which most of us are all, some what familiar.
3. Econcerns: Here I will discuss a wide range of concervation issues, from invasive species, to global climate change and everything in between.
