Metagenomic insights into the uncultured diversity and physiology of microbes in four hypersaline soda lake brines

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Soda lakes are salt lakes with a naturally alkaline pH due to evaporative concentration of sodium carbonates in the absence of major divalent cations.

Cuttings, Combings, Fettlings and Flock: Gender and Australian Wool ‘Waste’, 1900–1950

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As Australia's wool industry produced vast amounts of fine fleece from the nineteenth century, the wool processing and clothes manufacturing industries generated waste – products like cuttings, combings, fettlings and flock. Salvaged and then sold to waste merchants, these and other materials had a second life.

Zooplankton community comparisons among four tropical soda lakes: Insights into habitat preferences

Global Ecology and Conservation
Tropical soda lakes are unique ecosystems characterized by extreme environmental conditions that shape their biological communities. This study investigated the spatio-temporal variations in zooplankton communities in relation to key environmental ...

Results from RV Utafiti research cruises [PDF]

, 1999
Monthly fish surveys were made from 1997-1999 in the Kenyan waters of Lake Victoria in order to estimate the magnitude of fisheries resources. Sample sites were defined using GPS while thirty minute hauls in alternate grid squares were made.

‘The Bethune College Sensation’: Gender, Archive and Radical Passivity

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores the student protests at Bethune College, Calcutta, on 3 February 1928, against the Simon Commission, a British parliamentary delegation that excluded Indian representation. On this day, female students staged a quiet but radical act of defiance by refusing to attend classes, sign apologies or vacate their hostel, despite ...

Composition and Activity of Microbial Communities along the Redox Gradient of an Alkaline, Hypersaline, Lake

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
We compared the composition of microbial communities obtained by sequencing 16S rRNA gene amplicons with taxonomy derived from metatranscriptomes from the same samples.

Economic Freedom and Audit Fees: Evidence From the USA

Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine the association between US state‐level economic freedom and audit fees. We argue that economic freedom lowers clients' perceived business risk, thereby requiring reduced audit effort and exposing auditors to a lower probability of litigation risk, which enables auditors to charge lower audit fees to clients headquartered in states ...

Geochemical transformations of sulfur and their role in the formation of different types and subtypes of saline lakes in Southeastern Transbaikalia

Applied Water Science
This study focused on the chemistry and isotopes of sulfur in lakes. The bottom sediments and water columns of lakes were found to contain reduced forms of sulfur, including hydrogen sulfide ions, elemental sulfur, and thiosulfate ions, along with ...

Niche divergence facilitated by fine-scale ecological partitioning in a recent cichlid fish adaptive radiation [PDF]

, 2016
Ecomorphological differentiation is a key feature of adaptive radiations, with a general trend for specialization and niche expansion following divergence.

Droughts and human impact in the ancient Uaymil region of the Maya lowlands inferred from a 2800‐year sedimentary archive at Lake Kaná, Mexico

Boreas, EarlyView.
The relationship between the climate and societal transformation in Maya lowlands has long been debated, particularly the role of drought in shaping the civilization trajectory during the Classic Period. A high‐resolution, multi‐proxy, geochemical record from Lake Kaná, located in the underexplored Uaymil region of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico ...
