Soc. 57 , 291–314 (2011; Published online 15 June 2011) ( http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rsbm.2011.0006 ) We regret the following errors in the memoir: Mortimer’s unpublished notes (2006), cited on page 298, correctly state that the proper title for ‘Admiralty Mine Department’ was ‘Admiralty Mine Design Department’, or MDD. Of the scientists named in the top paragraph of page 299, only Deacon, Longuet-Higgins and Mortimer were in fact members of ‘Group W’ of the Admiralty Research Laboratory at Teddington; Crick and Penman remained for a time in the MDD at Havant, and Laughton joined the National Institute of Oceanography much later, in 1955. The last three words of the Laughton et al. (2010) reference on page 312 should be ‘Cambridge: Lutterworth Press’.

The Cost

Background and Aims Corner’s rule states that thicker twigs bear larger leaves. The exact nature of this relationship and why it should occur has been the subject of numerous studies. It is obvious that thicker twigs should support greater total leaf area (Atwig) for hydraulical and mechanical reasons. But it is not obvious why mean leaf size (A-) should scale positively with Atwig. We asked what this scaling relationship is within species and how variable it is across species. We then developed a model to explain why these relationships exist. Methods To minimize potential sources of variability, we compared twig properties from six co-occurring and functionally similar species: Acer grandidentatum, Amelanchier alnifolia, Betula occidentalis, Cornus sericea, Populus fremontii and Symphoricarpos oreophilus. We modelled the economics of leaf display, weighing the benefit from light absorption against the cost of leaf tissue, to predict the optimal A- :Atwig combinations under different canopy openings. Key Results We observed a common A- by Atwig exponent of 0.6, meaning that A -and leaf number on twigs increased in a specific coordination. Common scaling exponents were not supported for relationships between any other measured twig properties. The model consistently predicted positive A- by Atwig scaling when twigs optimally filled canopy openings. The observed 0·6 exponent was predicted when self-shading decreased with larger canopy opening. Conclusions Our results suggest Corner’s rule may be better understood when recast as positive A- by Atwig scaling. Our model provides a tentative explanation of observed A- by Atwig scaling and suggests different scaling may exist in different environments.

Transmission Pathways

Microbial whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is poised to transform many of the currently used approaches in medical microbiology. Recent reports on the application of WGS to understand genetic evolution and reconstruct transmission pathways have provided valuable information that will influence infection control practices. While this technology holds great promise, obstacles to full implementation remain. Two articles in this issue of the Journal of Clinical Microbiology (S. Octavia, Q. Wang, M. M. Tanaka, S. Kaur, V. Sintchenko, and R. Lan, J Clin Microbiol 53:1063–1071, 2015, doi:10.1128/JCM.03235-14, andS. J. Salipante, D. J. SenGupta, L. A. Cummings, T. A. Land, D. R. Hoogestraat, and B. T. Cookson, J Clin Microbiol 53:1072–1079, 2015, doi:10.1128/JCM.03385-14) describe the breadth of application of WGS to the field of clinical epidemiology.
