FUTURE PAPERS IN PROCEEDINGS SERIES B

Proceedings: series B publishes original papers in all aspects of the biological sciences, including those of an interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary nature. Papers up to 4000 words long are welcomed, particularly an- nouncements of important new developments in biology. Reviews containing original and interesting ideas, and criticisms of papers already published, are also invited. Papers will be published rapidly (normally within three months of receipt).

The July issue of the journal includes the papers listed below.

TROPICAL RAIN FOREST: DISTURBANCE AND RECOVERY

Organized and edited by A.G. Marshall and M.D. Swaine

Tropical rain forests are the richest ecosystems that the world has ever known. The great number of species that form them is the reason for their fascination to people, their value to the biosphere, and the complexity of their proper management. The land that they occupy, and the value of just one of their many useful products, timber, are the reasons why they are rapidly disappearing.

This volume reports some of the results to date of a major interdisciplinary programme of rain forest research and training by British and South-east Asian scientists on The recovery of tropical forests following disturbance: patterns and processes. The objective is to gain an understanding of the influence of the creation of gaps of various sizes and kinds, both natural and man-made, upon the flora and fauna of closed-canopy forest, and of the processes whereby these gaps will eventually be filled. Data obtained will allow better utilization of forest resources and better management of conservation areas.

Major studies in the first six years have examined spatial dynamics of trees, regeneration dynamics, the role colonizing species and of mycorrhiza, forest hydrology and geomorphic processes, arthropods as decomposers and predators, and the effects of selective logging upon animal populations. These studies are essentially long-term and prescriptive conclusions cannot yet be reached, but the papers provide a bench-mark for the continuing work, a summary of what is known to date, and suggestions for future studies.

MOLECULES THROUGH TIME Fossil Molecules and Biochemical Systematics

Organized and edited by G. Eglinton and G.B. Curry

Organic molecules survive in the geological record! In fact the organic remains of life are abundant in rocks and fossils, and some biomolecules are among the strongest and most resilient structures on this planet, and as a consequence have good fossilization potential.

'Molecules through time' is a comprehensive and up-to- date survey of the survival of organic molecules in the geological record. It covers the latest technical advances and discoveries in research on ancient proteins and amino acids, DNA, lipids, chlorophyll-derived pigments and other re- sistant biomolecules. These organic remnants of ancient life forms represent important sources of information for many scientific disciplines, including archaeology, bio- chemistry, evolutionary biology, organic geochemistry, genetics, geology and palaeontology. In recent years a range of technical developments have revolutionized biomolecular research, and these new techniques are increasingly being applied both to the study of fossil molecules and to related investigations of source compounds in living organisms. In addition to presenting the latest exciting information on the survival of fossil molecules in the geological record, this volume also discusses the diverse applications of these data and the fossilization conditions that may be conducive to biomolecule preservation.
