New Insights into the Ecology and Physiology of Methanomassiliicoccales from Terrestrial and Aquatic Environments [PDF]
Members of the archaeal order Methanomassiliicoccales are methanogens mainly associated with animal digestive tracts. However, environmental members remain poorly characterized as no representatives not associated with a host have been cultivated so far.

A Pharm-Ecological Perspective of Terrestrial and Aquatic Plant-Herbivore Interactions [PDF]
We describe some recent themes in the nutritional and chemical ecology of herbivores and the importance of a broad pharmacological view of plant nutrients and chemical defenses that we integrate as "Pharm-ecology". The central role that dose, concentration, and response to plant components (nutrients and secondary metabolites) play in herbivore ...
