article- oops! Here it is.
Judith,
my web-search for you (Hubbell) brought out
only a 120 year old
Canadian electrical company. Then in your URL
(Nature) I found the initials and searched Hubbell+S+P and got
him!
is a good start, there were more. (MSN
search).
We have to be careful, not to
fall into the 'complex' complicated convolutedness, as even Jamie walks on the
rim of it, it is contrary to the RR-complexity, totally model-based and phenomenological.
It is the kind of reductionist thinking, (xcuse me to play a pun): phenomeno - logical, all of us
like to think in those lines of science, so your _expression_ "to infect the
list" is well chosen.

oops! Here it is.
Hi Folks,
There is an article that was published last year in Nature
magazine about some ecology theories and models developed by two men;
Hubbell and Bell. Neutrality Theory, it's being called. I read it because my
oldest child had a paper to write and thought some of "Pop's stuff" (her
name for her grandfather) might be applicable. She was right.
I'm curious, before I infect the group with my own point of
view, what some of the ecologists think. The link is here:
I would also like to get contact info for Hubbell, if anyone
knows how to achieve that?
