Biological markers as an additional method of determining drowning

open access: yesOpen Veterinary Journal
Background: There is no specified diagnostic procedure that can help in determining the cause of death and the diagnosis of drowning because the pathohistological signs are almost identical and non-specified.

Drivers of stability in plankton communities: dominance, asynchrony, and averaging effects across temporal, spatial and trophic scales

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The origins of ecosystem stability have long intrigued ecologists. Recent theoretical advancements highlight three primary mechanisms driving stability: dominance, asynchrony and averaging. While plant community stability has been extensively studied, our understanding of marine community stability remains limited. Plankton, as key components of marine

Integrating and assessing metacommunity drivers of ecosystem function and resilience in benthic algal systems

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Understanding the scales and mechanisms by which species composition interacts with ecosystem functions is critical for forecasting the effects of environmental perturbations on ecosystem services. However, the linkages between what regulates the ecosystem functions of dispersal‐capable networks of communities (metacommunities) and what regulates a ...

Global Warming and Mass Extinctions Associated With Large Igneous Province Volcanism

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 83-102., 2021

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Dynamic response of communities and ecosystem functions to ecosystem engineering and multiple stressors in a marine mussel bed

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Ecosystem engineers are crucial to the development of coastal ecosystem communities and functions. However, a better understanding of how environmental stressors affect ecosystem engineering and thereby influence communities and ecosystem dynamics is needed. We conducted an in situ experiment in a blue mussel Mytilus spp.

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.

Mechanism Based Evaluation of Scratch Damage in Diatom Frustule Reinforced Epoxy Composites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Mechanism‐based interpretation of scratch deformation in diatom frustule reinforced epoxy composites through the combined evaluation of scratch hardness, penetration depth, relative cutting volume (RCV), profilometry, SEM observations, and statistical analysis.

Holocene transition from climate-driven to human-dominated wetland dynamics in Sinchang-dong, South Korea

open access: yesScientific Reports
In this study, we reconstruct the Holocene environmental history of the Sinchang-dong wetland, a key archaeological site in South Korea, using a multi-proxy approach integrating diatom and phytolith assemblages with quantitative archaeological ...

Scaling turbulence drives the general circulation

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The NOAA Gulfstream SP4, which deployed the GPS dropsondes over the NE Pacific Ocean as part of the Winter Storms Project during the January–March periods of 2004, 2005 and 2006. Abstract Statistical multifractal analysis of airborne and dropsonde observations is used to show that persistence of velocity after molecular collisions breaks the continuous
