Microbial biogeography: putting microorganisms on the map
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 …

Toward a metabolic theory of ecology
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
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
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
The human genome contains many thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). While
several studies have demonstrated compelling biological and disease roles for individual …
