The Role of Ice‐Rafted Debris (IRD) on Icebergs' Deterioration
Abstract During the last ice age, icebergs transported Ice‐Rafted Debris (IRD) more than 3,000 km across the North Atlantic. However, their effect on the deterioration of icebergs and thus where the deposits form is poorly understood. Laboratory experiments and a predictive model (with no fitting parameters) investigating the effects of sediment on ...

Mixing at the Margins Drives Nitrate Delivery During Downwelling
Abstract Wind‐driven coastal upwelling delivers nutrients to the surface waters and enhances primary productivity. In contrast, downwelling transports nutrient‐depleted water away from the surface and is usually presumed to decrease primary production. Here, we show that processes during downwelling can actually pump nutrients into previously nutrient ...

Diazotroph‐Driven 210Po Scavenging Reveals a Potential Radiotracer for Marine Nitrogen Fixation
Abstract The role of phytoplankton, particularly diazotrophs, in affecting in situ 210Po scavenging has been little investigated. Here, we first report an enhanced 210Po deficit in a cyclonic eddy core relative to its edge in the subtropical Pacific, coinciding with an elevated integrated nitrogen fixation rate (NFR).

Food Web Properties and the Type of Invasive Species Make the Ecosystem Vulnerable to Invasion
ABSTRACT Invasive species have long been acknowledged as potentially severe dangers to native ecosystems. Although some work has also been done with empirical food webs, more information is still needed to shed light on the cascading effects of invasive species in aquatic ecosystems.

Ecological Trap in the Nest: Human Hair Causes the Death of Breeding Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica)
The prevalence of anthropogenic materials in barn swallows (Hirundo rustica) nests and their association with entanglement injury or mortality was studied. We report for the first time that hair incorporated into nests can cause entanglement mortality in barn swallows.
