EEB 5370: sharing-sparing (Spring 2019)

This year, the topic was the debate over land-sharing vs land-sparing. We traced the literature on this topic starting with the initial theoretical work, then looked at applications of the theory in a variety of settings, and closed with the latest ideas on how the approach should be applied.
