Personal Favorite Projects
- The series of projects on insect communities on small mangrove islands. This started with his doctoral dissertation
- The long series of paper on different statistical analyses of patterns and what they can tell us about underlying ecological mechanisms. Especially which species are where, and the different sizes of coexisting species. This includes the work with Tamar Dayan on character displacement and on assembly rules and species combinations with Ed Connor and Michael Collins. This research caused a major shift in how people analyze pattern data.

“... religion can only change when the emotions which fill it are changed; and the religion of personal fear remains nearly at the level of the savage.”

“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
