Haikus

 

Some of my favorite ecology haikus written by graduate students in BIOL 5024:

 

Trees are very tall
they reproduce by seed fall
then grow a long time

Symbiosis in
organisms for their good
not bad but sometimes

 

Nature – non-random?
Neutral models in tandem
tell all Earth’s secrets

 

Microbiota
Prokaryotes and big worms
in my gut yummy

 

Paleontolo-
gy has too many sylla-
bles.  Fossils are cool.

 

Clements and Gleason
should have tried to get along
