In a method for providing access to resources, a virtual world application executing on a first
server transmits, to a client, data representative of at least one virtual world object. The
virtual world application receives, from the client, a request to access a resource executed …

Low-frequency collective vibrational modes in proteins have been proposed as being
responsible for efficiently directing biochemical reactions and biological energy transport.
However, evidence of the existence of delocalized vibrational modes is scarce and proof of …

We developed a stochastic simulation model incorporating most processes likely to be
important in the spread of Phytophthora ramorum and similar diseases across the British
landscape (covering Rhododendron ponticum in woodland and nurseries, and Vaccinium …

In response to climate change and other threatening processes there is renewed interest in
the role of refugia and refuges. In bioregions that experience drought and fire, micro‐refuges
can play a vital role in ensuring the persistence of species. We develop and apply an …

The first experimental production of Mallory bodies was reported by Denk et al. in 1975 in
mice fed griseofulvin. We discovered a second chemical capable of producing Mallory
bodies in the mouse liver in a manner similar to griseofulvin. Male Swiss albino mice were …

Reliable projections of climate‐change impacts on biodiversity are vital in formulating
conservation and management strategies that best retain biodiversity into the future. While
recent modelling has focussed largely on individual species, macroecology has the potential …

Phytophthora ramorum is a damaging invasive plant pathogen and was first discovered in
the UK in 2002. Spatial point analyses were applied to the occurrence of this disease in
England and Wales during the period of 2003–2006 in order to assess its spatio‐temporal …

Global agroecosystems can contribute to both climate change mitigation and biodiversity
conservation, and market mechanisms provide a highly prospective means of achieving
these outcomes. However, the ability of markets to motivate the supply of carbon …

This study identified refuges for biodiversity across Australia in areas with the least expected
change, that will retain biodiversity and provide opportunities for added species in the next
75 years. We are currently facing the likelihood of severe climate change before the close of …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 1043–1051 Abstract For many taxonomic groups, sparse
information on the spatial distribution of biodiversity limits our capacity to answer a variety of
theoretical and applied ecological questions. Modelling community‐level attributes (α‐and β …
