Schedule for Spring Semester 2008
Unless there is loud objection, the theme this semester will be Tree Thinking. David Baum (Univ. Wisconsin, Madison) is writing a book on Tree Thinking and has agreed to let us read the chapters he has written in return for some constructive criticism. The first half of the semester can be filled, however, with some thought-provoking and heated-debate-generating papers.
Tuesday, January 22, 2008
Two of our Tuesday time slots this semester will be taken over by departmental seminars, so rather than waste the first time slot with an organizational meeting, let's get right into things with a consideration of the meaning of the word basal.
- Crisp, M. D., and L. G. Cook. 2005. Do early branching lineages signify ancestral traits? TREE 20(3):105-149.
- Krell, F.-T., and P. S. Cranston. 2004. Which side of the tree is more basal? Systematic Entomology 29:279-281.
