In the summer of 1993, twenty-six graduate and postdoctoral stu
dents and fourteen lecturers converged on Cornell University for a
summer school devoted to structured-population models. This school
was one of a series to address concepts cutting across the
traditional boundaries separating terrestrial, marine, and freshwa
ter ecology. Earlier schools resulted in the books Patch Dynamics
(S. A. Levin, T. M. Powell & J. H. Steele, eds.,
Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1993) and Ecological Time Series (T. M.
Powell & J. H. Steele, eds., Chapman and Hall, New York, 1995);
a book on food webs is in preparation. Models of population
structure (differences among individuals due to age, size,
developmental stage, spatial location, or genotype) have an
important place in studies of all three kinds of ecosystem. In
choosing the participants and lecturers for the school, we se
lected for diversity-biologists who knew some mathematics and
mathematicians who knew some biology, field biologists sobered by
encounters with messy data and theoreticians intoxicated by the
elegance of the underlying mathematics, people concerned with
long-term evolutionary problems and people concerned with the acute
crises of conservation biology. For four weeks, these perspec tives
swirled in discussions that started in the lecture hall and carried
on into the sweltering Ithaca night. Diversity mayor may not
increase stability, but it surely makes things interesting."
