The Arthur R. Marshall Jr. Ecological Sciences Laboratory
These are our provisional web pages. If you find any malfunctioning
links or other errors please let us know.
The Arthur R. Marshall Jr. Ecological Sciences Laboratory is located
in the Department of Zoology at the University
of Florida. It was founded to commemorate Florida ecologist and activist
Art Marshall, who fought to restore the ecology of the
Everglades.
Research
The laboratory is involved in large scale ecology, particularly disturbance
ecology. We focus on ecological processes and their interactions. We view
ecology as an attempt to understand complex evolving adaptive systems.
Currently, humans are the main large-scale ecological structuring process,
so our work necessarily also focuses upon the links between humanity and
nature.
