Temporal and spatial history of the 1999–2000 Endeavour Segment seismic series, Juan de Fuca Ridge [PDF]
Two large clusters of earthquake activity in June of 1999 and January of 2000 have dominated recent seismicity along the Endeavour Segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge. The impacts of the June 1999 sequence on the hydrologic system, which include changes in vent temperature and chemistry within the Main Endeavour Vent Field, have been well documented ...

First records of three Nematocarcinus species (Crustacea, Decapoda, Nematocarcinidae) in the deep-waters of the north-western Pacific [PDF]
During two scientific expeditions in the South China Sea and the Kyushu-Palau Ridge area, several specimens of thread-leg shrimp were collected from deep waters. Amongst them, three species, Nematocarcinus evansi Burukovsky, 2000, N. exilis (Spence Bate,

The gut microbiome mediates adaptation to scarce food in Coleoptera
Beetles are ubiquitous cave invertebrates worldwide that adapted to scarce subterranean resources when they colonized caves. Here, we investigated the potential role of gut microbiota in the adaptation of beetles to caves from different climatic regions ...

Quantitative analysis of vegetation restoration and potential driving factors in a typical subalpine region of the Eastern Tibet Plateau [PDF]
Vegetation restoration is an essential approach to re-establish the ecological balance in subalpine areas. Changes in vegetation cover represent, to some extent, vegetation growth trends and are the consequence of a complex of different natural factors ...

Timing of volcanism along the northern East Pacific Rise based on paleointensity experiments on basaltic glasses [PDF]
Samples from two adjacent and contrasting ridge segments along the East Pacific Rise were measured for their magnetic paleointensity in order to further explore the possibilities of dating very young volcanic samples using secular variations in the Earth'

RIDGE 2000 begins a new decade of mid‐ocean ridge research [PDF]
RIDGE 2000 is a new research initiative sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to understand Earth's spreading ridge system as an integrated whole—from its inception in the mantle, to its manifestations in the biosphere and water column. RIDGE 2000 is at the beginning of an anticipated 12‐year program.

Relating Depth and Diversity of Bivalvia and Gastropoda in Two Contrasting Sub-Arctic Marine Regions
The need to understand species distribution- and biodiversity patterns in high-latitude marine regions is immediate as these marine environments are undergoing rapid environmental changes, including ocean warming and ocean acidification. By the year 2100,

Sedimentary and environmental characteristics of the Gilan-Mazenderan plain, northern Iran: Influence of long- and short-term Caspian water level fluctuations on geomorphology [PDF]
The south-southwestern Caspian coastal lowland in Iran, or the Gilan-Mazenderan plain, is a relatively narrow but long, composite depositional area of late Quaternary age. The Sefid Rud delta, the Anzali Lake (connected to the Caspian Sea by a meandering
