Recommendations for new readers arriving from Evolving Thoughts

For new readers who found there way here from Evolving Thoughts, welcome! Obviously, I recommend you read our entire archives (less than 200 posts!), but if that proves infeasible, I recommend:

Philosophical posts:

• ‘Synthesizing ecology’: revisiting an Oikos classic
• Are there inherently complex ecological phenomena?
• Are some general ecological concepts TOO general?
• Ignorance is bliss (sometimes)

Evolutionary posts:

• Why ‘The Spandrels of San Marco’ isn’t a good paper
• Why expect trade-offs in ecology and evolution

Personal posts:

• How I almost quit science

Zombie posts (yes, that merits a whole separate category on this blog):

• Zombie ideas in ecology
• Zombie ideas in ecology: r and K selection
• Zombie ideas: the motivational poster
• Zombie ideas in ecology: the t-shirt
