TLDR
PAST (PAleontological STatistics) as discussed by the authors is a simple-to-use software package for executing a range of standard numerical analysis and operations used in quantitative paleontology.Abstract:
A comprehensive, but simple-to-use software package for executing a range of standard numerical analysis and operations used in quantitative paleontology has been developed. The program, called PAST (PAleontological STatistics), runs on standard Windows computers and is available free of charge. PAST integrates spreadsheet-type data entry with univariate and multivariate statistics, curve fitting, timeseries analysis, data plotting, and simple phylogenetic analysis. Many of the functions are specific to paleontology and ecology, and these functions are not found in standard, more extensive, statistical packages. PAST also includes fourteen case studies (data files and exercises) illustrating use of the program for paleontological problems, making it a complete educational package for courses in quantitative methods.read more

Estimated stocks of circumpolar permafrost carbon with quantified uncertainty ranges and identified data gaps
Gustaf Hugelius,Jens Strauss,Sebastian Zubrzycki,Jennifer W. Harden,Edward A. G. Schuur,Edward A. G. Schuur,Chien-Lu Ping,Lutz Schirrmeister,Guido Grosse,Gary J. Michaelson,Charles D. Koven,Jonathan A. O'Donnell,Bo Elberling,Umakant Mishra,Philip Camill,Zicheng Yu,Juri Palmtag,Peter Kuhry +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented revised estimates of permafrost organic carbon stocks, including quantitative uncertainty estimates, in the 0-3 m depth range in soils as well as for sediments deeper than 3 m in deltaic deposits of major rivers and in the Yedoma region of Siberia and Alaska.

The influence of soil pH on the diversity, abundance and transcriptional activity of ammonia oxidizing archaea and bacteria
TL;DR: Findings suggest that different bacterial and archaeal ammonia oxidizer phylotypes are selected in soils of different pH and that these differences in community structure and abundances are reflected in different contributions to ammonia oxidation activity.

Defining the healthy "core microbiome" of oral microbial communities
TL;DR: It is shown that a major proportion of bacterial sequences of unrelated healthy individuals is identical, supporting the concept of a core microbiome at health.

Camargo,Dustin Singer,Andreas Richter,Keiji Kuba,Akiyoshi Fukamizu,Stefan Schreiber,Hans Clevers,François Verrey,Philip Rosenstiel,Josef M. Penninger +21 more
TL;DR: The results identify ACE2 as a key regulator of dietary amino acid homeostasis, innate immunity, gut microbial ecology, and transmissible susceptibility to colitis, providing a molecular explanation for how amino acid malnutrition can cause intestinal inflammation and diarrhoea.

Statistics and data analysis in geology
TL;DR: In this article, a thoroughly revised edition presents important methods in the quantitative analysis of geologic data, such as probability, nonparametric statistics, and Fourier analysis, as well as data analysis methods such as the semivariogram and the process of kriging.

Detrended correspondence analysis: an improved ordination technique
M. O. Hill,Hugh G. Gauch +1 more
TL;DR: DCA consistently gives the most interpretable ordination results, but as always the interpretation of results remains a matter of ecological insight and is improved by field experience and by integration of supplementary environmental data for the vegetation sample sites.

Elliptic Fourier features of a closed contour
TL;DR: Elliptic properties of the Fourier coefficients are shown and used for a convenient and intuitively pleasing procedure of normalizing a Fourier contour representation.
