Byrons Most Compelling (Biased) Research
Exploration Questions

• How do geophysical factors
• drive biodiversity and shape ecosystem assembly
  and stability over time? Space?
• affect how rapid metabolic adaptation occurs
  relative to exaptation?
• affect rates of molecular evolution, speciation
  extinction?
• Can past patterns of response to change be used
  to predict future biotic responses?
• Research programs addressing these questions
  require
• integration of paleoclimatology, geology,
  geochemistry, paleontology, evolutionary biology,
  ecology
• novel synthetic analytical methods, philosophy
• Ontology drives Epistemology -gt
