        Two free lectures associated with the OSU Museum Open House on 16 Feb
will be offered on campus to the general public, both by eminent
ecologist Daniel Simberloff, whose work with invasive species (this
year's open house theme) is of special interest.
        On 8 February at 7 pm at Independence Hall 100, Simberloff will speak
on "Biological invasions: A global threat, but a winnable war." One
stated aspect of his work that interests me involves critiques of
biological controls gone awry--including introduced species, lethal
controls of native species, etc., one presumes.
        That afternoon he'll examine "Birds of the Solomon Islands: the domain
of the equilibrium theory of island biogeography and community assembly
rules" at 4 pm in Room 1 of Jennings Hall. Dr. Simberloff's statistical
analyses have called into question the assumption that interspecific
competition is the most important factor in the development of
biological communities.
        Maps of the campus are on the Web at http://www.osu.edu/map/ . Parking
is a lot less painful after dark, when the larger public and less
technical talk is to take place.
