Daniel Janzen is Dimaura Professor of Biology at the University of Pennsylvania, and Technical Advisor to the Area de Conservación Guanacaste in northwestern Costa Rica.
Janzen's 1965-1986 research pioneered key parts of large and complex contemporary research areas in basic and applied tropical ecology (mutualisms among ants and plants, plant chemical ecology, evolution of microbial toxins, herbivore impact on community structure, and evolutionary anachronisms).
Janzen's activities have had a very positive influence on society's awareness of the relevance and potential of tropical wildland biodiversity to global understanding, national sustainable development, and individual quality of life, both inside and outside of the tropics.

The Association for Tropical Biology is pleased to recognize Dr. Daniel H. Janzen as the Honorary Fellow for 2002.
Janzen has also provided much of the creative energy and early impetus to a remarkable number of institutions whose existence we now take for granted: e.g., the Organization for Tropical Studies and its field courses, the Institute for Biodiversity, our own ATB, and the Costa Rican system of conservation areas.
Janzen's work over the last 20 years has emphasized conservation of tropical wildlands and has been a remarkable combination of conceptual contributions and specific conservation actions in the establishment of the Guanacaste Conservation Area.

Daniel follows Teal'c back to the SGC, and must try to discover what has happened to him.He considers the possibility that he might be dead, since he is neither hungry nor thirsty.Meanwhile, base scientist Robert Rothman studies the artifact, and O'Neill, Carter and Teal'c locate Nick Ballard and go to meet him.
Daniel appeared to be unaffected by the nutrino radiation in the pyramid once he wasout of phase.
Daniel's condition was reminiscient of the Re'tu, who are invisible because they are180 degrees out of phase with normal matter ("Show and Tell").The Re'tu, however, were apparently not immaterial, as Daniel was.

Although both John Daniel and his wife came from relatively comfortable origins, hard luck on the Janzen homestead at the onset of the Great Depression reduced the large family -- there would be six children who survived infancy, three that didn't -- to a hardscrabble existence.
As it happened, John Daniel was too strong to be felled by any common illness; this was a man who'd won his wife's hand by taking on three older suitors at once and leaving them crying in the dirt.
John Daniel himself was brought to trial in the summer of 1936 on a trumped-up accusation of attempted murder.

 WCU NEWS - BIODIVERSITY SYMPOSIUM
Daniel Janzen, a University of Pennsylvania biology professor and tropical ecologist, said the "gardenification" of wild areas is a manifestation of a "basic human trait." When it comes to gardens, "making them, taking care of them and harvesting from them is an intrinsic and normal part of human society," Janzen said.
Janzen was the keynote speaker at a symposium, "Biodiversity: New Perspectives on its Magnitude and Meaning." The event, part of WCU's Chancellor's Science Symposium series, attracted a crowd of about 800 people, including science professionals, local high school students, and members of the WCU community.
The relationship between human society and the wild country is one that Janzen is nourishing in Costa Rica, where he has been trying to save biodiversity for 15 years by purchasing land and adding it to the Costa Rican park system.

Unobtrusive as they go about their business, these caterpillars are rarely seen by humans--and are virtually never seen from the perspective presented in this sumptuous volume: photographed in extreme close-ups at a resolution that captures in sharp detail the exquisite colors and features eluding the casual observer.
Gathered by biologists Daniel Janzen, Winifred Hallwachs, and Jeffrey Miller in the tropical dry forests, cloud forests, and rain forests of northwestern Costa Rica, over 100 large-format photographs of caterpillars document the dizzying variety of shapes, vivid colors, and cryptic markings among these species.
