Joined wikipedia: November, 2005. I'm new here.
Interests: I'll probably write or modify pages relating to either botany, general biology, or southwestern US geography. Within botany my main interests are in general procedural/ideological problems (species concepts, methods of phylogenetic reconstruction, cladism, etc.) and in mustards & ferns (especially cheilanthoid ferns, though my interests span all plants at one point or another). Within SW geography my biases are towards the aspects of topography that influence botany--meaning elevations, ecosystems, rock types, etc. rather than culture or history.
