Performance of a glider‐mounted multifrequency echosounder for measuring the vertical distribution and abundance of large pelagic copepods

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract The difficulty of sampling zooplankton communities in situ has driven advancements in autonomous, remote sensing technology. The goal of this paper was to perform a gear comparison study testing the performance of one such piece of technology—a glider‐mounted four‐frequency echosounder—against traditional shipboard methods of measuring ...

Atlantic Niño induced sea surface salinity variability as observed from the satellite

Environmental Research Letters
The Atlantic Niño exerts great impact on surrounding weather and climate anomalies, leading to anomalous wind, temperature, precipitation, etc. However, the impact of Atlantic Niño on ocean salinity in the tropical Atlantic has not been well disclosed ...

Individual movement modeling expands the power of migratory species observations: North Atlantic right whale case study

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding a population's distribution depends on observing the presence and movement of individuals throughout their range. For highly mobile marine species, these observations typically rely on high effort monitoring programs. Tracking enough individuals to understand trends in movement behavior is not always logistically feasible, and ...

Uppermost Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous benthic foraminiferal biostratigraphy at ODP Site 765 on the Argo Abyssal Plain. [PDF]

, 1992
Benthic foraminifers were studied in 99 samples collected from the lower 200 m of Hole 765C. The studied section ranges from the Tithonian to Aptian, and benthic foraminifers can be subdivided into five assemblages on the basis of faunal diversity and ...

Lipid correction of hydrogen stable isotope ratios in fish

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Lipids are known to affect stable isotope ratio of organisms, especially δ13C values, and simple arithmetic lipid‐correction procedures have been developed based on the carbon to nitrogen ratio (C : N) that is a proxy for lipid content. Equivalent issues will likely arise with the increasing use of hydrogen isotopes in ecology, but as yet no ...

A machine learning assisted method for rapidly annotating benthic megafauna in large volumes of marine imagery

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent technological advancements have rapidly expanded our capacity for collecting image data in the marine environment, but processing images into meaningful ecological metrics remains a manual, time‐consuming, and biased process. This is particularly challenging with electro‐optical cabled imaging systems which generate images at a rate ...

Refining techniques for high‐frequency monitoring of chlorophyll a fluorescence in estuarine systems

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Concentrations of the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll a are commonly used as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass in aquatic systems. Traditional methods for extracting chlorophyll a in discrete samples limit measurement frequency, while in situ sensor technology provides high frequency chlorophyll a fluorescence measurements at a more ...

Taxonomic reappraisal of the mangrove genus Avicennia (Acanthaceae) in India

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A taxonomic reappraisal of the mangrove genus Avicennia in India was undertaken through extensive field surveys and critical examination of herbarium specimens. Three taxa, Avicennia alba, Avicennia marina subsp. marina, and Avicennia officinalis, are described in detail. A synonymic list was compiled using the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP)

Multitrophic alpha and beta diversity of lake plankton across Canada

Oikos, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic environmental changes impact freshwater biodiversity globally. While biodiversity assessments in freshwater environments have traditionally focused on individual groups of organisms or trophic levels, considering patterns of ‘multitrophic biodiversity' across the food web provides a more comprehensive view of anthropogenic impacts and ...
