SUMMARY:Jevons paradox\, economic EROI and r- and K-selection\, Chaos 
 & Complex Systems Seminar\, Tim Allen\, UW Department of Botany
DESCRIPTION:Complexity demands more than one level of analysis. Rate-d
 ependent and rate-independent descriptions yield contradictory  accoun
 ts of resource use.  In termites we see flipping between prudent fruga
 l consumption and profligate waste depending how the analyst addresses
  poses the system at more than one level of analysis. All this can be 
 expressed as a fractal response surface of increasing frugality. Wood 
 dwelling cockroaches\, wood dwelling termites\, twig gathering termite
 s and soil eating cockroaches. Most of the biomass is in twig gatherin
 g but 60% of species are soil eating.
