Aim Processes and variables measured in ecology are almost always spatially autocorrelated, potentially leading to the choice of overly complex models when performing variable selection. One way to solve this problem is to account for residual spatial autocorrelation ( RSA ) for each subset of variables considered and then use a classical model selection criterion such as the A kaike information criterion ( AIC ). However, thi...

Summary Magnetotactic bacteria ( MTB ) are capable of synthesizing intracellular organelles, the magnetosomes, that are membrane‐bounded magnetite or greigite crystals arranged in chains. Although MTB are widely spread in various ecosystems, few axenic cultures are available, and only freshwater M agnetospirillum spp. have been genetically analysed. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of a marine magnetotactic spiril...
