Chemical stabilization of glass microfiber type F filters for measuring particulate phosphorus using the extra high‐temperature dry combustion method

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate quantification of particulate phosphorus is critical for understanding biogeochemical processes in aquatic systems. Extra high‐temperature dry combustion at 800°C improves phosphorus recovery by ~ 11% compared to lower‐temperature methods.

The distribution of cytoplasmic microtubules throughout the cell cycle of the centric diatom Stephanopyxis turris: their role in nuclear migration and positioning the mitotic spindle during cytokinesis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
The cell cycle of the marine centric diatom Stephanopyxis turris consists of a series of spatially and temporally well-ordered events. We have used immunofluorescence microscopy to examine the role of cytoplasmic microtubules in these events.

Comparison between fluorometry and microscopy‐based phytoplankton assessments in the Laurentian Great Lakes

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Photosynthetic pigment fluorescence is commonly used in limnology and oceanography as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass. Fluorometry has been used to detect subsurface algal blooms, characterize dynamics of the deep chlorophyll layer, and to provide greater vertical resolution to phytoplankton monitoring.

Nanomechanical Testing of Diatoms

open access: yes, 2013
Diatoms, a major group of algea, are protected by a nanostructured shell, built with a design that exceeds the capabilities of human engineering. These shells, termed frustules, consist of biosilica and give the organism more than just a physicalarmor.

An ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy system for studying real‐time pressure effects on enzyme activity

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Investigations of hydrostatic pressure effects on microbial enzymatic processing are challenging but critical for understanding element cycling in the world's oceans. In this study, we developed and tested a stainless‐steel pressure cell capable of withstanding up to 110 MPa of hydrostatic pressure (equivalent to ~ 11,000 m depth), featuring ...

The effects of seasonality and parasitism on diet and habitat selection in the common periwinkle

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The common periwinkle Littorina littorea is an ecologically important grazer, known for its strong influence on algal communities and its role in structuring ecosystems. It serves as the first intermediate host for several trematode species in the Baltic Sea, especially for the fluke Cryptocotyle lingua.

Long-range interactions in the ozone molecule: spectroscopic and dynamical points of view

open access: yes, 2012
Using the multipolar expansion of the electrostatic energy, we have characterized the asymptotic interactions between an oxygen atom O$(^3P)$ and an oxygen molecule O$_2(^3\Sigma_g^-)$, both in their electronic ground state.

Marine trophic architecture and hidden ecological connections in the Strait of Magellan: keystone species and ecosystem resilience

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Understanding the ecological implications of species coexistence is central to biodiversity studies and to identify environmental and anthropogenic drivers of ecosystem dynamics, where ecological network analysis offers valuable insights. This study examines the complexity, structure, and potential responses to disturbances of the Strait of Magellan's ...
