Microbial biogeography: putting microorganisms on the map

JBH Martiny, BJM Bohannan, JH Brown… - Nature Reviews …, 2006 - nature.com
We review the biogeography of microorganisms in light of the biogeography of
macroorganisms. A large body of research supports the idea that free-living microbial taxa …

Approaching a state shift in Earth's biosphere

AD Barnosky, EA Hadly, J Bascompte, EL Berlow… - Nature, 2012 - nature.com
Localized ecological systems are known to shift abruptly and irreversibly from one state to
another when they are forced across critical thresholds. Here we review evidence that the …

The geographic range: size, shape, boundaries, and internal structure

JH Brown, GC Stevens… - Annual review of ecology …, 1996 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Comparative, quantitative biogeographic studies are revealing empirical patterns
of interspecific variation in the sizes, shapes, boundaries, and internal structures of …

Toward a metabolic theory of ecology

JH Brown, JF Gillooly, AP Allen, VM Savage… - Ecology, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
Metabolism provides a basis for using first principles of physics, chemistry, and biology to
link the biology of individual organisms to the ecology of populations, communities, and …

Effects of size and temperature on metabolic rate

JF Gillooly, JH Brown, GB West, VM Savage… - science, 2001 - science.org
We derive a general model, based on principles of biochemical kinetics and allometry, that
characterizes the effects of temperature and body mass on metabolic rate. The model fits …

PICRUSt2 for prediction of metagenome functions

GM Douglas, VJ Maffei, JR Zaneveld, SN Yurgel… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
To the Editor—One limitation of microbial community marker-gene sequencing is that it does
not provide information about the functional composition of sampled communities …

A general model for the origin of allometric scaling laws in biology

GB West, JH Brown, BJ Enquist - Science, 1997 - science.org
Allometric scaling relations, including the 3/4 power law for metabolic rates, are
characteristic of all organisms and are here derived from a general model that describes …

The GENCODE v7 catalog of human long noncoding RNAs: analysis of their gene structure, evolution, and expression

T Derrien, R Johnson, G Bussotti, A Tanzer… - Genome …, 2012 - genome.cshlp.org
The human genome contains many thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). While
several studies have demonstrated compelling biological and disease roles for individual …

NL Christensen, AM Bartuska, JH Brown… - Ecological …, 1996 - Wiley Online Library
Ecosystem management is management driven by explicit goals, executed by policies,
protocols, and practices, and made adaptable by monitoring and research based on our …

[BOOK][B] Complex variables and applications

JW Brown, RV Churchill - 2009 - elibrary.mukuba.edu.zm
This book is a revision of the seventh edition, which was published in 2004. That edition has
