Fine-scale spatial variation in fitness, inbreeding, and inbreeding depression in a wild ungulate
Abstract. Environmental stress can exacerbate inbreeding depression by amplifying differences between inbred and outbred individuals. In wild populations,

Unsurprisingly I am very much in agreement with this article. I've put a lot of effort in recently to prevent the undermining of field-based teaching, including pointing out the invisible subsidy that field-based teaching (& research) provide other teaching & research

Extinction of experience among ecologists
Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are
progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct
field experience within the e...
