Ground Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) Inhabiting Stands of Reed Canary Grass Phalaris Arundinacea on Islands in the Lower Chippewa River, Wisconsin [PDF]
We used pitfall traps to assess ground beetle diversity (Coleoptera:Carabidae) on two islands in the lower Chippewa River, Eau Claire County, Wisconsin, with rapidly expanding populations of reed canary grass, Phalaris arundinaceae.

Unrecorded Fungi Isolated from Rhizosphere Soil of Fallopia sachalinensis in Dokdo Islands [PDF]
We isolated fungi from the rhizosphere of Fallopia sachalinensis in Dokdo islands. Morphological and molecular characters, based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), and partial large subunit (LSU) or partial beta-tubulin genes, were used to ...

Species Diversity--Scale Matters
The marked gradient in species diversity between the equator (where it is highest) and the poles (where it is lowest) suggests a simple environmental explanation for this phenomenon. However, as Willis and Whittaker point out in their Perspective, the environmental variables driving species diversity are different depending on the size and time
