Berlin, Germany, and Oxford, u.k.―A Danish government committee has ruled that one of the world's leading evolutionary biologists, Anders Pape Moller, is responsible for data fabricated in connection with an article that he co-authored in 1998 and subsequently retracted. Moller, a professor at the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris, has denied that his data were fabricated and has told Science that he plans to sue his chief accuser, Jorgen Rabol, or the panel that issued the ruling, the Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty (DCSD), for defamation. The charge, stemming from a bitter dispute between Moller and Rabo1, a former colleague, has cast a shadow over the relatively tight-knit world of behavioral ecology, the study of mating and other behaviors in an animal's natural environment. "It's a sad thing," says Malte Andersson, president of the International Society for Behavioral Ecology.
