Variations in copepod proteome and respiration rate in association with diel vertical migration and circadian cycle
(University of Chicago Press, 2018-08-16)The diel vertical migration of zooplankton is a process during which individuals spend the night in surface waters and retreat to depth during the daytime, with substantial implications for carbon transport and the ecology ... -
Internal tidal modal ray refraction and energy ducting in baroclinic Gulf Stream currents
(American Meteorological Society, 2018-08-30)Upstream mean semidiurnal internal tidal energy flux has been found in the Gulf Stream in hydrodynamical model simulations of the Atlantic Ocean. A major source of the energy in the simulations is the south edge of Georges ... -
Multisensory and motor representations in rat oral somatosensory cortex
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-09-10)In mammals, a complex array of oral sensors assess the taste, temperature and haptic properties of food. Although the representation of taste has been extensively studied in the gustatory cortex, it is unclear how the ... -
Oxidising agents in sub-arc mantle melts link slab devolatilisation and arc magmas
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-08-29)Subduction zone magmas are more oxidised on eruption than those at mid-ocean ridges. This is attributed either to oxidising components, derived from subducted lithosphere (slab) and added to the mantle wedge, or to oxidation ... -
A global glacial ocean state estimate constrained by upper-ocean temperature proxies
(American Meteorological Society, 2018-08-28)We use the method of least squares with Lagrange multipliers to fit an ocean general circulation model to the Multiproxy Approach for the Reconstruction of the Glacial Ocean Surface (MARGO) estimate of near sea surface ... -
Mapping birefringence in three dimensions using polarized light field microscopy : the case of the juvenile clamshell
(2018-05)We report methods to generate three dimensional maps of birefringence, its position and orientation in juvenile shells of the Atlantic hard clamshell (Mercenaria mercenaria). For measuring the retardance and optic axis ... -
Profiles of stable isotopes of silicon in silicic acid from the US GEOTRACES EPZT cruise (R/V Thomas G. Thompson TN303) in the Eastern Tropical Pacific from October to December 2013
(Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2018-09-11)These data include measurements of the stable isotopes of silicon within seawater, silicic acid expressed in del notation relative the standard NBS28, along the section from Peru to Tahiti conducted by US GEOTRACES. Data ... -
Axonal ensheathment in the nervous system of lamprey : implications for the evolution of myelinating glia
(Society for Neuroscience, 2018-07-18)In the nervous system, myelination of axons enables rapid impulse conduction and is a specialized function of glial cells. Myelinating glia are the last cell type to emerge in the evolution of vertebrate nervous systems, ... -
Deep soils modify environmental consequences of increased nitrogen fertilizer use in intensifying Amazon agriculture
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-09-07)Agricultural intensification offers potential to grow more food while reducing the conversion of native ecosystems to croplands. However, intensification also risks environmental degradation through emissions of the ... -
