Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 The subtropical gyres occupy approximately 40% of the surface of the Earth and are widely recognized as oligotrophic zones. Among them, the South Pacific subtropical gyre (SPSG) shows the lowest chlorophyll-a levels (0.02–0.04 μgL–1), the deepest ...

Identification of the alternative oxidase gene and its expression in the copepod Tigriopus californicus [PDF]
, 2019 In addition to the typical electron transport system (ETS) in animal mitochondria responsible for oxidative phosphorylation, in some species there exists an alternative oxidase (AOX) pathway capable of catalyzing the oxidation of ubiquinol and the ...

Patchy zooplankton grazing and high energy conversion efficiency: Ecological implications of sandeel behavior and strategy [PDF]
, 2013 Sandeel display strong site-fidelity, and spend most of their life buried in the seabed. This strategy carries important ecological implications. Sandeels save energy when they are not foraging but in return are unable to move substantially and therefore

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Ocean stratification, measured as mixed layer depth (MLD), is an important feature that influences many processes in the ocean; for example, by mediating the fluxes of momentum, heat and crucially key gases such as CO2 and oxygen from the atmosphere into the water column and vice versa. The conventional methods to measure stratification (e.g.,

Sex Reversal in Copepods [PDF]
Nature, 1948 BETWEEN February and June 1947, 20·5 per cent of the males, 3·7 per cent of the females and 0·3 per cent of the copepodids of Pseudocalanus elongatus Boeck, collected from six stations between Flamborough Head and the Dogger Bank, were found to be parasitized by Blastodinium contortum hyalinum Chatton. Almost all the observed parasites were found to be

Improved COI taxonomic assignment workflow enhances detection of invertebrates in environmental DNA
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is an increasingly popular and powerful tool in ecology, offering a non‐invasive method to assess biodiversity and monitor ecosystem health across diverse environments. While the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene is one of the most widely used markers for studying eukaryotic ...

The IceShark, an effective method for sampling plankton under sea ice
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Seasonal sea ice plays a crucial role in shaping coastal ecosystem dynamics throughout the circumpolar region. Of particular interest to oceanographers is the ice‐ocean interface which functions as a multidimensional habitat, supporting both sympagic algae and pelagic phytoplankton in the under‐ice surface waters.
