Movements and oceanographic associations of large pelagic fishes in the North Atlantic Ocean
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2018-09)Highly migratory marine fishes support valuable commercial fisheries worldwide. Yet, many target species have proven difficult to study due to long-distance migrations and regular deep diving. Despite the dominance of ... -
Using maximum entropy production to describe microbial biogeochemistry over time and space in a meromictic pond
(Frontiers Media, 2018-10-01)Determining how microbial communities organize and function at the ecosystem level is essential to understanding and predicting how they will respond to environmental change. Mathematical models can be used to describe ... -
Radium isotopes as tracers of boundary inputs of nutrients and trace elements to the coastal and open ocean
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2018-09)Nutrients and trace metals are vital for supporting life in the ocean, but the boundary processes that control the distributions of these elements are poorly constrained. Radium isotopes are well suited to studying inputs ... -
Biogeochemical and phylogenetic signals of Proterozoic and Phanerozoic microbial metabolisms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2018-09)Life is ubiquitous in the environment and an important mediator of Earth’s carbon cycle, but quantifying the contribution of microbial biomass and its metabolic fluxes is difficult, especially in spatially and temporally-remote ... -

Leonardo da Vinci’s discovery of the dynamic soaring by birds in wind shear
(2018-07-03)Although Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) is well-known to have studied bird flight, few people realize that he was the first to document flight maneuvers now called dynamic soaring. Birds use these maneuvers to extract ... -
Sparsened neuronal activity in an optogenetically activated olfactory glomerulus
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-10-08)Glomeruli are the functional units of olfactory information processing but little remains known about their individual unit function. This is due to their widespread activation by odor stimuli. We expressed channelrhodopsin-2 ... -
Organic carbon aging during across‐shelf transport
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018-08-22)Compound‐specific radiocarbon analysis was performed on different grain‐size fractions of surficial sediments to examine and compare lateral transport times (LTTs) of organic carbon. 14C aging of long‐chain leaf wax fatty ... -
North Atlantic natural variability modulates emergence of widespread Greenland melt in a warming climate
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018-09-10)Record‐breaking melt over Greenland in recent decades is linked not only to climate change but also to natural variability, including persistent atmospheric high‐pressure conditions in the negative phase of the North ... -
Global search for autumn‐lead sea surface salinity predictors of winter precipitation in southwestern United States
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018-08-22)Sea surface salinity (SSS) is sensitive to changes in ocean evaporation and precipitation, that is, to changes in the oceanic water cycle. Through the close connection between the oceanic and terrestrial water cycle, SSS ...
