My Year of Darwin 4/8/2014: Death to all species!

 Charles Darwin
"Certainly, no fact in the long history of the world is so startling as the wide and repeated exterminations of its inhabitants" Charles Darwin, Voyage of the Beagle

Last quote showed Darwin's insight linking modern organisms to their extinct relatives. Here he shows great insight in suggesting that extinction is a regular process - extensive in time and space.

Two things are weighing on me. 1, editorial duties are now official for Biological Conservation. Just one issue - but still, big deal for me. 2, book chapter that's post due. 

On the upside: now officially accepted: Luo, Y., Z. Yang, M.A. Steele, Z. Zhang, J.A. Stratford, and H. Zhang. Hoarding without reward: rodent responses to repeated episodes of complete cache loss. Behavioral Processes. In Press

I wanted to call it "Messing with small mammal nuts"  Oh well.
