On Ecology

Ecologists are catching up to one of the Infrastructural City’s key lessons. Hybrid ecosystems are dominant today and we need to study them to understand the biosphere. Alas, ecologists are generally studying pristine wildernesses instead. Sort of like urbanists who look at New York and Boston and pronounce everything alright with the city? More at Nature.
