Apr 5	awarded	Scholar
Apr 5	accepted	Is there a standard format for plant community composition data?
Apr 4	comment	Why do the sick and unhealthy trees leaf out first in spring? Be cautious about drawing conclusions from casual observation. There may be within-species variability in the timing of leaf-out. It is possible that trees that leaf out first are more likely to be infected (or to have been infected in previous years).
Apr 4	comment	Why do the sick and unhealthy trees leaf out first in spring? -1 for use of the ambiguous (and unscientific) term "trashy trees"

Apr 3	comment	Why do some fruits have a much wider range of acceptable sizes than others? @chm maybe a good answer could address "R vs K selected species"
Apr 1	comment	Do immature fruits perform photosynthesis? it would be great if you could provide specific references rather than "some shading experiments" that would be helpful. I am also curious about how such a shading experiment is conducted, what measurements are used to estimate the "30%", and what assumptions are made.
Apr 1	comment	What are all possible vectors for unicellular human parasites? I think the textbook answer is good here, and in line with epidemiological terminology. There are always exceptions, and this topic is outside of my area of expertise. Perhaps you could ask your professor for some more details on the use of the term "vector" - maybe print out this discussion and ask for details that you could use to improve your post.
Apr 1	comment	How can I pare down a PDB file in Python to only include specific residues? Better fit for scicomp.se?
Mar 27	comment	Why are trichomes important for both the roots and shoots of plants? This question would be better with more context. Trichome is a generic term for diverse, often microscopic, structures with a wide variety of functions. The question "but how does that work" should be addressed separately.

Mar 23	comment	What are all possible vectors for unicellular human parasites? This is a good question, because the term "vector" is not used consistently in the literature. This probably is because the context of the discussion is often limited to a subset of parasites. The term is sometimes used to refer to blood-sucking insects. However, animals (including humans) can also be vectors. More generally, anything with mass could be a vector (e.g. biological warfare might use a missile or a blanket as a vector).
