Our meal at the Peppa Pot and a snapping turtle found along the bike trail.

This Thursday at 1:30PM we’ll be taking another bike expedition to a local eatery.  We’ll be discussing two classic papers on community assembly.

Diamond, J. M. and M. E. Gilpin (1982) Examination of the “null” model of Connor and Simberloff for species co-occurrences on islands. Oecologia 52:64-74 [doi link]

Connor, E. F. and D. Simberloff (1979) The assembly of species communities: chance or competition? Ecology 60:1132-1140 [jstor stable URL]

PS – Last week’s outing to the Peppa Pot ended with delicious meals for all! For around $7 you can get a huge plate of Jamaican food including: meat (chicken or oxtail, rice and beans, plantain, duppling, and stewed cabbage.
