Got this via email:

Chris Wilmers from UCSC (http://wildlife.ucsc.edu/) will be our guest speaker at the Ecology and Evolution seminar on Jan 14th. Chris works on questions related to global change, habitat alternation, disease ecology and conservation, mostly in big charismatic cats. He combines aspects from movement ecology, animal behavior and population dynamics and has a high research profile. His talk will be on “Large carnivore energetics in a landscape of fear” and he will be on campus for Thursday the 15th, perhaps staying through Friday the 16th. If you would like to meet with him please send me an email will possible times.

Ending Candidatus and Culture Bias in Microbial Species Naming …

Just had an interesting discussion on Twitter about the (what I see as silly) restrictions placed on giving names to bacterial and archaeal species where approved names are reserved for cultured organisms.  Uncultured organisms have to use “Candidatus” (see Wikipedia here).

See discussion below:
