    Notes: Non-exhaustive extraction techniques (NEETs) have been shown to measure the putatively bioavailable fraction of hydrophobic compounds in soil. To date, these studies have only considered bioavailability in a single soil type. In this study, naphthalene was amended into five different soil types and mineralisation, bacterial biosensor response and the number of indigenous microbial naphthalene degraders were determined. Two NEETs were used to extract the naphthalene from soil; hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPCD) and XAD-4. The HPCD extractable fraction correlated closely (R2= 0.917) with the portion that was mineralised, but the XAD-4 extract did not (R2= 0.044). HPCD may be ideal for the rapid assessment of the fraction of a hydrophobic organic contaminant that is available for biodegradation. A NEET that complements environmental microbial analysis will enhance our understanding of soil pollution interactions and equip us better in designing risk assessment models that integrate biological parameters. This application, although refined for soil samples, should be transferable to other environmental matrices.

    Notes: [Auszug] 'BIOGEOGRAPHY is a strange discipline. In general, there are no institutes of biogeography; there are no departments of it. There are no professional biogeo-graphers ? no professors of it, no curators of it. It seems to have few traditions/ (see ref.l). Biogeography in the accepted sense was ...

    Notes: [Auszug] SIRChelvam1 attributes to me, without citation, remarks on molecular homology and its bearing on darwinism that he believes give support to creationism. I am said to have "referred to molecular homology (a latter-day prop of dar-winism) as 'anti-knowledge' generating 'antitheory'" and to ...

    Notes: [Auszug] Periodicity of extinctions has received much attention recently, both as concerns the phenomenon1'18 and possible explanations for it12'26. Raup and Sepkoski1 initially analysed a subset culled from Sepkoski's Compendium of Fossil Marine Families27 covering the last 250 million years (Myr) (late ...

    Notes: [Auszug] SIR-The crisis at London's Natural His-tory Museum, which erupted when the corporate plan was announced on 23 April this year, has now lasted more than four months and shows no sign of ending. The essence of this crisis is that the plan will result, whatever its stated intentions, in narrowing the ...

    Notes: [Auszug] PATTERSON REPLIES - Norell et al and I differ in our approach to this problem, as shown by their second paragraph above. They object to my calling dinosaurs a nonmonophyletic group, and write "we consider dinosaurs to be monophyletic because . . . birds are a kind of dinosaur". It is ...

    Notes: [Auszug] SIR - Perle et al.1, in reporting their find of the fossil Mononychus, call it a 'bird' in the title of their paper and a 'dinosaur' in its third and fourth lines. They endorse the view2 that Archaeopteryx, although a bird, is not a member of Aves. Instead, Archaeopteryx is a member of Aviales1'2, ...
