Robert Colwell, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Connecticut, analyzed data from nearly 2,000 species of plants, insects and fungi in the tropics, where organisms often lack the ability to escape warming temperatures by going north or south; instead, they have to go up in elevation to find cooler temperatures. Colwell found that as populations in lowland areas move up, they tend not to be replaced. That means that we may see a reduction in overall biodiversity...

...India’s Deendayal Research Institute Nandita Pathak told a crowd in Lowell Library yesterday that integral humanism—which emphasizes the holistic development of communities—was integral to the development of Indian villages. According to Pathak, the problems of development stem from plans that lack great involvement from the people they are designed to help. Pathak said that development should instead flow from the bottom up. This type of grass-roots development can be achieved with integral humanism, she added. To stress the importance of the project to India’s well-being, Pathak...
