In defense of our institutional independence
This University is a proud public university that belongs to all of us and generations to follow. It is a place to test ideas, shape futures and pursue, not prescribe, truth.
University of Michigan Regents come out squarely and publicly in defense of academic freedom against political coercion and the role of higher education and research in making America prosperous, secure ... and well ... maybe even Great? www.michigandaily.com/opinion/op-e...

The figure explaining the contrasting outcomes for diversity and local and landscape scales in continuous vs. fragmented landscapes. The right column (panel d) shows the cases where increasing inter-fragment diversity (increasing beta diversity among fragments) compensates for loss of local (alpha) diversity results in an increase in regional (Gamma) diversity. Fragmentation is 'bad' for diversity when loss of alpha and beta diversity combine to cause landscape-wide declines in gamma diversity.
New key finding:
Landscapes of fragmented habitat have lower diversity, at all scales, than do unfragmented landscapes.
Habitat fragmentation does not compensate for the loss of local (alpha) diversity by increasing the diversity among fragments (beta diversity).
