Diversity and Evenness: A Unifying Notation and Its Consequences
Three commonly used measures of diversity, Simpson's index, Shannon's entropy, and the total number of species, are related to Renyi's definition of a generalized entropy. A uni...

Obesity alters gut microbial ecology
We have analyzed 5,088 bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences from the distal intestinal (cecal) microbiota of genetically obese ob / ob mice, lean ob /+ and wild-type siblings, and ...

Towards a natural system of organisms: proposal for the domains Archaea, Bacteria, and Eucarya.
Molecular structures and sequences are generally more revealing of evolutionary relationships than are classical phenotypes (particularly so among microorganisms). Consequently,...
Shifting the genomic gold standard for the prokaryotic species definition
DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH) has been used for nearly 50 years as the gold standard for prokaryotic species circumscriptions at the genomic level. It has been the only taxonomic ...
