a r t i c l e i n f o A recent paper (Ecological Economics 69, 2010, pp. 1604–1609) has addressed the issues of dimensional homo-geneity of equations and non-linear transformations of variables in economic and ecological economic models. The authors argued that logarithmic transformation cannot be used when variables are dimensional, presented several examples of purportedly incorrect use in ap...

Ecological dimensions of information literacy

Conceptual innovations in information science are important sources of introducing new theoretical frameworks. In this paper we examine information ecology as part of emerging science 2.0 and reflect on reconsideration of information literacy in information science. Science 2.0 combines technological innovations with knowledge of social systems (Shneiderman 2008). In science 2.0 collaboration-c...

In this paper, I examine how interaction and processes between states influence the...

Representing the Dimensions of an Ecological Niche

Niche theory has driven a century of ecological investigations and has been the starting point for the few studies in existence of ecological ontology. This study investigates how scientists conceptualize niche theory, and uses that information to develop a high level ontological framework. That framework includes process, theory, entities, experiments, space, and time. These components are lin...
