Hi all,
Since several people had emailed me asking about the status of the paper I menitoned a while back, I thought I'd give everyone an update here. It has been published by the Journal Diversity and Distributions, and it was selected for the cover of the July issue.
You can find the cover here http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/action/showLargeCover?issue=40377262 and if you want the actual paper just let me know.
Cheers, Ken
