Stereo-video landers can rapidly assess marine fish diversity and community assemblages

Frontiers in Marine Science
Climate change and anthropogenic stressors affect the distribution, abundance, and diversity of fish communities across the world. To understand rapidly changing biotic communities, resource managers need a method to quickly and efficiently document ...

The Souss lagerstätte of the Anti-Atlas, Morocco: discovery of the first Cambrian fossil lagerstätte from Africa

Scientific Reports, 2021
Episodic low oxygenated conditions on the sea-floor are likely responsible for exceptional preservation of animal remains in the upper Amouslek Formation (lower Cambrian, Stage 3) on the northern slope of the western Anti-Atlas, Morocco.

Forage Species Swarm in Response to Coastal Upwelling

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
We observed the distribution and identity of forage species to infer behavioral changes in response to intraseasonal variation in the coastal upwelling ecosystem of Monterey Bay, California.

High‐frequency and long‐term observations of eDNA from imperiled salmonids in a coastal stream: Temporal dynamics, relationships with environmental factors, and comparisons with conventional observations

Environmental DNA, 2022
A greater understanding of eDNA behavior in the environment is needed before it can be employed for ecosystem monitoring applications. The objectives of this study were to use autonomous sampling to conduct long‐term, high‐frequency monitoring of the ...

An Exploratory Study of Telomere Length in the Deep-Sea Shark, Etmopterus granulosus

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The history of elasmobranch ageing highlights the difficulty of age estimation in animals lacking ossified structures. Ageing techniques are numerous, yet all are limited by difficulties of validation and verification and inherent subjectivity.

The Bakken Model: Deposition of Organic-Rich Mudstones and Petroleum Source Rocks as Shallow-Marine Facies Through the Phanerozoic

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Many organic-rich marine mudstones, which are key hydrocarbon sources, were deposited on continent margins in mid-water oxygen-minimum zones (OMZs) that expanded and intensified during oceanic anoxic events (OAEs).

Targeted Sampling by Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
In the vast ocean, many ecologically important phenomena are temporally episodic, localized in space, and move according to local currents. To effectively study these complex and evolving phenomena, methods that enable autonomous platforms to detect and ...

Seasonal and Geographical Transitions in Eukaryotic Phytoplankton Community Structure in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Much is known about how broad eukaryotic phytoplankton groups vary according to nutrient availability in marine ecosystems. However, genus- and species-level dynamics are generally unknown, although important given that adaptation and acclimation ...

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.
