Abstract
Are people working in conservation biology and applied ecology duplicating each other's efforts? Dr. Robert France believes not. After surveying 2318 articles published from 1987–1995 in four international journals (Biological Conservation, Conservation Biology, Ecological Applications and the Journal of Applied Ecology) he found differences substantial enough to indicate that the research efforts of conservation biologists and applied ecologists are complementary, not duplicative. Those differences are presented below. Dr. Robert France teaches courses focusing on the influences of landscape processes and watershed development on aquatic systems, and the ecopsychology of human-environment relations at the Harvard Design School. His current research activities (ranging from bacteria to whales, and from the high arctic to the tropics) include a study of the effects of riparian clear-cutting on boreal lakes in northwestern Ontario, Canada
