Creo que los que creyeron que la contradicción es el motor de la vida humana no se han equivocado. Somos una contradicción incesante. Y eso te ayuda a sobrevivir en un mundo difícil; la certeza de que no hay horror que no implique alguna maravilla. La certeza de que somos mitad basura y mitad hermosura.

había un proverbio chino que decía que las únicas palabras que merecen existir son las palabras mejores que el silencio.

–La literatura y la música se parecen mucho. Por eso es bueno leer en voz alta. Cuando uno escribe, cuando uno termina un texto se lee en voz alta porque esa lectura te da la música de las palabras. Y la música manda. Tiene que haber una continuidad de la música.

Huelga decir que la gente estaba entregada, obnubilada por la capacidad de Galeano de contar historias, de romper con la rapidez y vorágine de la vida cotidiana mediante la palabra sencilla y profunda.

taxon names

clipper's remarks: by Härlin

Clip Source: www.blackwell-synergy.com

The phylogenetic system of definition initially proposed by de Queiroz and Gauthier [Syst. Zool. 39 (1990) 307], and later labeled PSD, is typically Popperian in the sense that science progresses toward truth by an accumulation of knowledge. Phylogenetic definitions of taxon names are assumed to adapt automatically to each new hypothesis of phylogeny, thereby reflecting better and better hypotheses. The phylogenetic system of reference proposed by Härlin [Zool. Scr. 27 (1998a) 381], on the other hand, is more Kuhnian, because it is built on the idea that successive hypotheses are incommensurable (and thus not cumulative) and that taxon names might be equalled with low-level paradigms.

clipper's remarks: again, J. Grehan

Clip Source: mail.google.com

In practice biological form is alone used to construct phylogenies and perhaps in most cases that is sufficient. But there can be problems in biologically based phylogenies that can be resolved or receive additional insight when they are laid out geographically

in an evolutionary context all taxa are named phylogenetically. So we can use taxonomy to determine the phylogenetic history if that taxonomy is arranged by relationship in the first place.

clipper's remarks: on Croizat's phylogeny issue

Clip Source: mail.google.com

When you say "no real method save taxonomy" I am not sure what you mean. When I do biogeography that involves many different taxa I do the same as Croizat, I take given phylogenetic classifications (taxonomy) and map them geographically. What's wrong with that? I cannot myself, revise every group out there. I have to rely on the competence of the specialists in each field - at least as a starting point

clipper's remarks: science

Clip Source: mail.google.com

Natural history is a very valuable thing,

as centuries of human study will attest,

but it should never be confounded

with science.

Science is about testing hypotheses,

and in our business these hypotheses

are about evolutionary history.”

(David A. Morrison, 2007)

Null models-Effect size

clipper's remarks: nice explanation

Clip Source: www.garyentsminger.com

The rationale for the standardized effect size follows directly from meta-analysis. In meta-analysis, a standardized comparison of experimental data is made between a "control" and a "treatment" group, with an estimate of the pooled variance for these treatments. Of course, in a null model analysis, there is no "experiment." However, we can think of the simulated matrices as a type of "control" for the effects of species interactions, and the observed matrix as the "treatment" that may show the effects of those interactions.

«Sentimos el vacío de Thelonious apartado del borde del piano, el interminable diástole de un solo inmenso corazón donde laten todas nuestras sangres, y del piano, el oso se balancea amablemente y regresa nube a nube hacia el teclado, lo mira como por primera vez, pasea por el aire los dedos indecisos, los deja caer y estamos salvados, hay Thelonious capitán, hay rumbo por un rato». Julio Cortázar. La vuelta al día en ochenta mundos.
