Nutrient content and stoichiometry of pelagic Sargassum reflects increasing nitrogen availability in the Atlantic Basin
(Nature Research, 2021-05-24)The pelagic brown macroalgae Sargassum spp. have grown for centuries in oligotrophic waters of the North Atlantic Ocean supported by natural nutrient sources, such as excretions from associated fishes and invertebrates, ... -
Satellite detection of dinoflagellate blooms off California by UV reflectance ratios
(University of California Press, 2021-06-09)As harmful algae blooms are increasing in frequency and magnitude, one goal of a new generation of higher spectral resolution satellite missions is to improve the potential of satellite optical data to monitor these events. ... -
A phosphate starvation response gene (psr1-like) is present and expressed in Micromonas pusilla and other marine algae
(Inter Research, 2021-02-25)Phosphorus (P) limits primary production in regions of the surface ocean, and many plankton species exhibit specific physiological responses to P deficiency. The metabolic response of Micromonas pusilla, an ecologically ... -
Subsurface heat channel drove sea surface warming in the high-latitude North Atlantic during the Mid-Pleistocene Transition
(American Geophysical Union, 2021-06-01)The Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT, 1,200–600 ka) marks the rapid expansion of Northern Hemisphere (NH) continental ice sheets and stronger precession pacing of glacial/interglacial cyclicity. Here, we investigate the ... -
Differential patterns of microbiota recovery in symbiotic and aposymbiotic corals following antibiotic disturbance
(American Society for Microbiology, 2021-04-13)Microbial relationships are critical to coral health, and changes in microbiomes are often exhibited following environmental disturbance. However, the dynamics of coral-microbial composition and external factors that govern ... -
Microbial ecology of coral-dominated reefs in the Federated States of Micronesia
(Inter Research, 2021-04-22)Microorganisms are central to the functioning of coral reef ecosystems, but their dynamics are unstudied on most reefs. We examined the microbial ecology of shallow reefs within the Federated States of Micronesia. We ... -
Pathways, volume transport, and seasonal variability of the lower deep limb of the Pacific Meridional Overturning Circulation at the Yap-Mariana Junction
(Frontiers Media, 2021-06-17)The lower deep branch of the Pacific Meridional Overturning Circulation (L-PMOC) is responsible for the deep-water transport from Antarctic to the North Pacific and is a key ingredient in the regulation of global climate ... -
Bacterial quorum-sensing signal arrests phytoplankton cell division and impacts virus-induced mortality
(American Society for Microbiology, 2021-05-12)Interactions between phytoplankton and heterotrophic bacteria fundamentally shape marine ecosystems by controlling primary production, structuring marine food webs, mediating carbon export, and influencing global climate. ... -
The cytochrome P450 (CYP) superfamily in cnidarians
(Nature Research, 2021-05-10)The cytochrome P450 (CYP) superfamily is a diverse and important enzyme family, playing a central role in chemical defense and in synthesis and metabolism of major biological signaling molecules. The CYPomes of four cnidarian ... -
Decadal assessment of sperm whale site-specific abundance trends in the northern Gulf of Mexico using passive acoustic data
(MDPI, 2021-04-22)Passive acoustic monitoring has been successfully used to study deep-diving marine mammal populations. To assess regional population trends of sperm whales in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GoM), including impacts of the ...
