A statistical approach to estimate soil ciliate diversity and distribution based on data from five continents
Article Abstract:
A statistical approach that estimates soil ciliate diversity and distribution based on data from five continents is presented. The model might resolve the controversial issue on global species diversity of soil ciliates by enabling the achievement of a minimum regional diversity and global species diversity.

Species richness-variability relationships in multi-trophic aquatic microcosms
Article Abstract:
A study to determine the effects of species richness on the temporal variability of communities, populations, and individual species is presented. Species loss may affect population and community variability differently in multi-trophic versus single trophic level communities.
