A brief survey of a paper by Peter Steffen, et al. Introduction G.K. Chesterton, an English author and journalist from the turn of the century, once stated he desired to write a story about a man setting sail from England in search of a new and foreign land. Eventually, when the man reached the island of his destination, he found it to be the most extraordinary and fascinating place. Unbeknowns...

Community inertia of Quaternary small mammal assemblages in North America.

One of the longest running debates in ecology is whether chance or determinism structures biotic communities, and this question is often studied by looking for the presence or absence of community inertia (lack of change) over time or space. Results have been equivocal. We adopted three tactics for a fresh approach: (i) allowing the answer to vary with the geographic, temporal, and taxonomic sc...

Microbial community degradation of widely used quaternary ammonium disinfectants.

Benzalkonium chlorides (BACs) are disinfectants widely used in a variety of clinical and environmental settings to prevent microbial infections, and they are frequently detected in nontarget environments, such as aquatic and engineered biological systems, even at toxic levels. Therefore, microbial degradation of BACs has important ramifications for alleviating disinfectant toxicity in nontarget...
