James Karr is the author with E. W. Chu of Restoring Life in Running Waters: Better Biological Monitoring, published by Island Press in 1999, and is the originator of the Index of Biological Integrity (IBI). His research in tropical forests emphasizes birds; in streams, fishes and insects; and in the sagebrush of eastern Washington, plants and insects. His work is driven by a fascination with species and assemblages of species--the products of the evolutionary process--and concern that human society misunderstands its relationship with and dependence on other organisms.
