[edit] r/K selection theory

Hi Gafox1. Just to say that I've replied to your comments over at Talk:R/K selection theory. Cheers, --Plumbago 07:54, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi again. Thanks for the reply over at R/K selection theory. I'm sorry I've not replied to you yet - I'm in submit-or-die mode for a proposal I'm writing, so can't spend much time here at the moment (of course, I should be spending no time but, well, ...). Cheers, --Plumbago 08:24, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi yet again. I've begun to create a "status of the theory" section over at R/K selection theory. When I started poking around the literature I found quite a few more recent papers that use the r/K concept, so labelling it as dead would probably be overstating things a bit (the Stearns reference isn't quite as blunt as this either; good source by the way — it's an interesting read and is massively cited). However, a better (and better sourced) discussion on its failings would really help the article. Anyway, feel free to amend/hack away at what I've added so far.
