The Theory of Island Biogeography

We consider 27 population and community terms used frequently by parasitologists when describing the ecology of parasites. We provide suggestions for various terms in an attempt to foster consistent use and to make terms used in parasite ecology easier to interpret for those who study free-living organisms. We suggest strongly that authors, whether they agree or disagree with us, provide complete and unambiguous definitions for all parameters of their studies.

The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) contains a complete record of all published organic and metal–organic small-molecule crystal structures. The database has been in operation for over 50 years and continues to be the primary means of sharing structural chemistry data and knowledge across disciplines. As well as structures that are made public to support scientific articles, it includes many structures published directly as CSD Communications. All structures are processed both computationally and by expert structural chemistry editors prior to entering the database. A key component of this processing is the reliable association of the chemical identity of the structure studied with the experimental data. This important step helps ensure that data is widely discoverable and readily reusable. Content is further enriched through selective inclusion of additional experimental data. Entries are available to anyone through free CSD community web services. Linking services developed and maintained by the CCDC, combined with the use of standard identifiers, facilitate discovery from other resources. Data can also be accessed through CCDC and third party software applications and through an application programming interface.

Statistics for Spatial Data.

This book is the second of two volumes in a series on terrestrial and marine comparisons, focusing on the temporal complement of the earlier spatial analysis of patchiness and pattern (Levin et al. 1993). The issue of the relationships among pattern, scale, and patchiness has been framed forcefully in John Steele’s writings of two decades (e.g., Steele 1978). There is no pattern without an observational frame. In the words of Nietzsche, “There are no facts… only interpretations.”

The structure of the antifungal antibiotic rapamycin

CO Brink's discussion of these lines takes five pages in the body of his commentary, and is continued in an appendix of nine pages at the end But the passage has for so long caused such sore vexation that his treatment of it seems actually compendious rather than long, and deserves our gratitude With the main part of his solution, which is to understand communia as ‘generalities to which individual features must be given’ (p 196), I fully agree

The relationship between surface derivatization and the physical properties of bisarylphosphinidenetriironnonacarbonyl clusters

Reaction of (dppe)MCl(2)(dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) with 2-(N-phenyliminomethyl)phenol leads to air-stable (dppe)M(N,O) chelates (M = Pd, 1a; M = Pt, 1b). The N-4-methylphenyl derivative of 1a has been characterized by X-ray analysis. The N,O ligands are kinetically labile and exchange occurs in solution in the presence of other salicylaldimines. In the presence of anilines, a metal-mediated imine exchange process occurs. Hammett analysis reveals that the platinum complexes are sensitive to the electronics at N but not at O. Electron donating groups on the N-aryl ring stabilize the metal complex.
