Revision as of 07:07, 14 June 2009 by imported>Caesar Schinas
I am an Ph.D. student in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI.
My primary interest in contributing to the Citizendium is in the field of animal behavior; however, I've contributed to articles on Wikipedia in other areas of biology, chemistry, and physics, and expect to do so here as well. I am also interested in scientific classification. My organisms of choice generally belong to the class Insecta.

Biology Workweek Mock-ups
Main page
Here's the .svg, if anyone wants to work on it. I think the rest of the pencil needs shading, and maybe the amoeba needs to pop more.
Workgroup Page
If someone wants to format this better, that would be great. Also, the banner design is still a work in progress. Suggestions are very welcome. Marielle Fields Newsome 11:36, 8 June 2008 (CDT)
- Hi Marielle, these look great! For uniformity, though, let's use the name "Biology Week." Also, if I had my pick, I'd put the second one on the main page, because it's fancier...not that I care that much, I really don't.
- And, since I haven't said it yet--welcome! It's always nice and encouraging when a new active person shows up!--Larry Sanger 17:35, 8 June 2008 (CDT)

Workgroups are no longer used for group communications, but they still are used to group articles into fields of interest.
Each article is assigned to 1-3 Workgroups via the article's Metadata.

Taxonomy
Insect classification, like much of taxonomy, has been going through rather dramatic changes recently. The most complete source for up-to-date classification seems to be ITIS. As such, I've decided that the site will be my final authority on taxonomy. I notice that Wikipedia uses more recent material in their classification, but I'm hesitant to do that, mostly because taxonomy is often interdependent, and one paper does not a new order make.
