In place of a textbook chapter, the reading for Tuesday, November 11 will be the following paper, which is based on doctoral dissertation research performed by Marcus Zokan in the Odum School of Ecology. This paper investigates some hypotheses for the maintenance of zooplankton diversity in the Carolina Bays using “mesocosm” experiments. It uses methods we’ve been studying in class to quantify diversity and investigates a theory not feasible to study using the survey data we’ve been analyzing. The paper is posted here and also on the class schedule.
