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.

Parasitology meets ecology on its own terms: Margolis et al. revisited.

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 X-ray absorption spectrometry (XAS) technique has been widely used to determine the local structure of materials that are poorly suited to study by ordinary diffraction methods, such as fine particles or amorphous matter. XAS is among the major applications at synchrotron radiation facilities and many existing beamlines perform the measurement of XAFS (X-ray absorption fine structure) spectra. XAFS spectra can also be measured with conventional X-ray sources. Measurement of XAFS spectra is relatively straightforward, but real difficulties arise in the analysis and interpretation of the data. Contrary to single-crystal diffraction techniques, the structure is not obtained directly from the measured XAFS data. Model structures must be assumed and the corresponding simulated XAFS spectra must be calculated, with determination of which models best fit the measured data. Model building is a most important part of XAFS analysis, but creation of three-dimensional structures from crystal-chemical considerations can be a very time-consuming task. Utilization of a database of crystal structures and of its built-in structure analysis and display tools can considerably reduce the time and effort required by this task. As XAS is often used to study metals, a database of alloys and intermetallic compounds, such as CRYSTMET, incorporating an array of powerful tools, is then very useful.

Use of the metals data file (CRYSTMET) in XAFS analysis.
