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.”

During the establishment of Great Smoky Mountains as a National Park in the mid 1930's, the National Park Service hired Frank H. Miller as an assistant forester to conduct a vegetation survey of the proposed park area. At that time, Miller and his crews sampled over 1,378 plots. This data set is the only known sampling effort that has occurred across the park's entire landscape. This paper quantitatively summarizes and classifies the overstory data collected by Miller. At the time of the sampling, Castanea dentata was the dominant species even though the chestnut blight had become established in the area of the park between 1925 and 1936. Sixteen vegetation types were identified ranging from the low elevation, xeric Pinus rigida type to the high elevation, mesic Abies fraseri type. Comparison of the whole park classification derived from the Miller data with those of other, less inclusive, studies illustrates the importance of whole park analysis for a complete understanding of the park's vegetation.
