Doesn't it strike anyone kind of strange that this discussion about which
SUV to choose popped up right amidst a discussion about wastefulness? I
suggest that 90% of us using 4-wheel drive SUVs for research really don't
need them. How often do you actually need to put it in 4-wheel???

Honourable Forum:
Hooray! What ecologists (not to mention other scientists) need is
more cross-fertilization of disciplines, especially railroaders (npi)
and other industry and commerce people and their special knowledge. I
have met some real sensitive-to-ecosystems bulldozer operators.

Back when all the state would provide for us biologists was 2WD pickups, my
first field supervisor said tire chains were to get you out of trouble, not
to get you farther into trouble. When he got one of the first 4WD Dodge
Power Wagons (the 1960 counterpart to today's SUVs), he then said 4WD was
Yes, their are field projects in which they are necessary, however, saying
most is completely not true. In fact, if your car is not leaving the road
then no you don't need 4 wheel. Many field projects do not require 4
wheel. Thus far, I have been involved in about a dozen field research

All,
Most of the herp projects I have worked on have required four wheel drive
vehicles. Some of the PI's I have worked for were so inexperienced in field
work that they didn't realize that a four wheel drive was a necessity.
Many of the others tried to get by with very used four wheel drives
Robert (and listserv members),
Here is my two cents worth after years of working (and playing) in the western
US.
My recommendation is that if you need to move mainly people with little gear
over good dirt roads with little actual 4WD use, get a hybrid SUV and try to
stick to a Japanese
How often do you actually need to put it in 4-wheel???
Take it from a old desert rat, it isn't how often you shift into 4WD, it is how
often you get stopped or stuck in a short patch of sand or a single deep rut on
an otherwise fine 2WD road.
Cheers, Jim

Dear all,
I wish to calculate overlap between areas and volumes in a PCA space. Do I
weight the axis by the amount of variation explained or is it more complicated?
All variables have been standardized.
Many Thanks
