Biodiversity: Interview with Andrew Knoll Part I
http://www.astrobio.net/news/article275.html
Harvard's Andrew Knoll, esteemed paleontologist, and Berkeley's Norman Myers, renowned conservation biologist, published a colloquium paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences last year entitled, "The Biotic Crisis and the Future of Evolution." First presented at the National Academy of Sciences Colloquium, "The Future of Evolution," in March 2000, the paper outlines what the authors call 'the biotic crisis' and its potential effect on our planet - not only a possible major extinction event, but also a disruption of basic evolutionary processes, the consequences of which are wholly unpredictable.
The first in the four-part Knoll interview weaves together the key factors of the biotic crisis.
