• Mussel beds self-organize. van de Koppel et al., Science 322:5902.
• Biodiversity appears to be positively correlated with biomass in plants — especially if you look at lineages rather than species. Cadotte et al., PNAS 105:44.
• Species turnover in amphibians is a better predictor than pure environmental correlates for species turnover in birds. Buckley & Jetz, PNAS in press.
