- 4From: Nature. (Vol. 482, Issue 7386) Peer-ReviewedStatistical relationships between habitat area and the number of species observed (species-area relationships, SARs) are sometimes used to assess extinction risks following habitat destruction or loss of climatic...

- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 482, Issue 7386) Peer-ReviewedAlan Turing's 1952 paper on the origin of biological patterning (1) solved an intellectual problem that had seemed so hopeless that it caused a great developmental biologist, Hans Driesch, to give up science and turn to...

- 11From: Nature. (Vol. 482, Issue 7386) Peer-ReviewedRegulating products based on a scientific risk analysis is a worthy goal, but I contend that Robert Lustig and colleagues oversimplify the "toxic" truth about refined carbohydrates (Nature 482, 27-29; 2012). Rather than...

- 16From: Nature. (Vol. 482, Issue 7386) Peer-ReviewedBy the death of Lord Lister, the world has lost one of its greatest men ... it was his work which gave the main impulse to the development of the great science of bacteriology, a science which bids fair to occupy the...
- 17From: Nature. (Vol. 482, Issue 7386) Peer-ReviewedPereira et al. (1) argue that our conclusion (2) that species-area relationships (SARs) always overestimate extinction is not general because the spatial configuration of landscape destruction can influence the results....
