Soberón, J., & Nakamura, M. (2009). Niches and distributional areas: concepts, methods, and assumptions. Proceedings of the National …. Retrieved from http://www.pnas.org/content/106/suppl.2/19644.short Abstract: Estimating actual and potential areas of distribution of species via ecological niche modeling has become a very active field of research, yet important conceptual issues in this field remain confused. We argue…

Naeem, S. (2009). Gini in the bottle. Nature, 458(April), 2–3. An elaborate microcosm study has a message for the wider world: declining distributional equity among species, where the rare become rarer, and the dominant become more dominant, can put ecosystems at risk…
Konopka, A. (2009). The ISME journal, 3(11), 1223–30. doi:10.1038/ismej.2009.88 The activities of complex communities of microbes affect biogeochemical transformations in natural, managed and engineered ecosystems. Meaningfully defining what constitutes a community of interacting microbial populations is not trivial, but is important for rigorous progress in the field. Important elements of research in microbial community ecology…

Astrobiology, 12(7), 634–40. doi:10.1089/ast.2011.0768 Abstract We discuss the potential interactions among travel (dispersal and gene flow), bacterial ‘‘sex’’ (mainly as hori- zontal gene transfer), and food (metabolic…
