Journal ArticleDOI
Toward an ecological classification of soil bacteria.
TL;DR: Survey, experimental, and meta-analytical results suggest that certain bacterial phyla can be differentiated into copiotrophic and oligotrophic categories that correspond to the r- and K-selected categories used to describe the ecological attributes of plants and animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life-history tactics: a review of the ideas.
TL;DR: This review organizes ideas on the evolution of life histories into more comprehensive theory that makes more readily falsifiable predictions, and examination of different definitions of fitness.

TL;DR: In this article, the introduction of invasive species and identifying life history stages where management will be most effective are discussed. And evolutionary processes may be key features in determining whether invasive species establish and spread.
Journal ArticleDOI
Innate Immunity: The Virtues of a Nonclonal System of Recognition
TL;DR: Characterization of the nonclonal receptors of the innate immune system responsible for the adjuvant activity, and, evidently, for the associated side effects, would provide a powerful alternative approach, which would ultimately allow one to target these receptors directly.

The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection
TL;DR: Although it is true that most text-books of genetics open with a chapter on biometry, closer inspection will reveal that this has little connexion with the body of the work, and that more often than not it is merely belated homage to a once fashionable study.
