Re: [ECOLOG-L] Aspect

I was taken aback to see this, but then I realised that we really do need to provide references for even the most obvious statements. I am sure that if Mark included a statement like "photosynthesis is higher during the day than at night" some reviewer would ask for a reference. My favourite e
