Effect of extreme sea surface temperature events on the demography of an age-structured albatross population
(2017-02)Climate changes include concurrent changes in environmental mean, variance and extremes, and it is challenging to understand their respective impact on wild populations, especially when contrasted age-dependent responses ... -
Interacting effects of unobserved heterogeneity and individual stochasticity in the life-history of the Southern fulmar
(2017-09-19)Individuals are heterogeneous in many ways. Some of these differences are incorporated as individual states (e.g., age, size, breeding status) in population models. However, substantial amounts of heterogeneity may remain ... -
Improved bacterial 16S rRNA gene (V4 and V4-5) and fungal internal transcribed spacer marker gene primers for microbial community surveys
(American Society for Microbiology, 2015-12-22)Designing primers for PCR-based taxonomic surveys that amplify a broad range of phylotypes in varied community samples is a difficult challenge, and the comparability of data sets amplified with varied primers requires ... -
Rapid global ocean-atmosphere response to Southern Ocean freshening during the last glacial
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-09-12)Contrasting Greenland and Antarctic temperatures during the last glacial period (115,000 to 11,650 years ago) are thought to have been driven by imbalances in the rates of formation of North Atlantic and Antarctic Deep ... -
Organic carbon budget for the eastern boundary of the North Atlantic subtropical gyre : major role of DOC in mesopelagic respiration
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-08-31)Transports of suspended particulate (POCsusp) and dissolved (DOC) organic carbon are inferred from a box-model covering the eastern boundary of the North Atlantic subtropical gyre. Corresponding net respiration rates (R) ... -
Influence of dispersal processes on the global dynamics of Emperor penguin, a species threatened by climate change
(2017-05)Species endangered by rapid climate change may persist by tracking their optimal habitat; this depends on their dispersal characteristics. The Emperor Penguin (EP) is an Antarctic seabird threatened by future sea ice ... -
Distinct biogeographic patterns for archaea, bacteria, and fungi along the vegetation gradient at the continental scale in Eastern China
(American Society for Microbiology, 2017-02-07)The natural forest ecosystem in Eastern China, from tropical forest to boreal forest, has declined due to cropland development during the last 300 years, yet little is known about the historical biogeographic patterns and ... -
Invasive plants rapidly reshape soil properties in a grassland ecosystem
(American Society for Microbiology, 2017-03-07)Plant invasions often reduce native plant diversity and increase net primary productivity. Invaded soils appear to differ from surrounding soils in ways that impede restoration of diverse native plant communities. We ... -
Comparative genomic analysis reveals habitat-specific genes and regulatory hubs within the genus Novosphingobium
(American Society for Microbiology, 2017-05-23)Species belonging to the genus Novosphingobium are found in many different habitats and have been identified as metabolically versatile. Through comparative genomic analysis, we identified habitat-specific genes and ... -
The microbiome-mitochondrion connection : common ancestries, common mechanisms, common goals
(American Society for Microbiology, 2017-05-09)Lynn Margulis in the 1960s elegantly proposed a shared phylogenetic history between bacteria and mitochondria; this relationship has since become a cornerstone of modern cellular biology. Yet, an interesting facet of the ...
