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 Problem of Pattern and Scale in Ecology: The Robert H. MacArthur Award Lecture

Reaction of [Tp{prime}(CO){sub 2} W(PhC{sub 2}H)][BF{sub 4}] (Tp{prime} = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borato) with PhC{sub 2}H or reaction of Tp{prime}(CO)IW(PhC{sub 2}R) (R = H, Me) with PhC{sub 2}H/AgBF{sub 4} generates cationic bisalkyne complexes [Tp{prime}(CO)W(PhC{sub 2}H)-(PhC{sub 2}R)][BF{sub 4}]. NMR and crystal data suggest that the two alkyne ligands donate a total of six electrons to the metal with phenyl groups distal to each other. Crystals of the bis(phenylacetylene) complex belong to the monoclinic space group P2{sub 1}/n, Z = 4.

have begun to question the feasibility of maintaining natural conditions in protected areas. Growing awareness of Native American influence and recognition of the dynamics of natural systems raise questions about what naturalness even is. And with increasing recognition of the potential effects of climate change, there is a dawning awareness that it may not even be desirable to maintain naturalness. Is the concept of naturalness still sufficient to guide protected area stewardship? Should it be reinterpreted or more precisely defined? Are there other concepts that should complement it or take its place (Box 1)? In April 2007 we convened a small workshop to explore this question. In this paper, we share some of what was discussed in that workshop. We examine the various meanings of naturalness and why it is increasingly problematic (as commonly defined) as a central goal for protected area management. We detail the case for and against human intervention in ecosystem processes. We explore how naturalness might be redefined or reinterpreted, and how concepts such as ecological integrity
