Hurlbert’s unicorn

April 4, 2009
Over at EEB and Flow, Marc Cadotte suggests that we consider adding “aesthetically pleasing details” to our figures. I’m a big fan of visually pleasing figures and the examples that Marc gives show how a little extra effort can really improve communication. The post made me think of one of the earliest examples of adding… a little something extra… to one’s figures – Stuart Hurlbert’s unicorn (Hurlbert 1990).
