Illuminating Patterns in Dark Microbial Matter: Diversity and Distribution of Fungi and Actinobacteria in Deep-sea Methane Seep Sediments

Creator:

Ardor Bellucci, Lila

Abstract:

Fungi and Actinobacteria are essential actors in global biogeochemical cycles of carbon and nutrients, and have both been recently appreciated for their roles in marine ecosystems. However, the diversity and distribution of these ubiquitous, but low-abundance microbes in deep-sea habitats remains poorly understood, particularly in chemosynthetic habitats such as methane...

Reef Microbiomes of Mo'orea, French Polynesia, a Socio-Ecological Island System

Creator:

McConnell, Kaitlin M.

Abstract:

At a time of rapid global change, a socio-ecological system (SES) approach can provide a framework through which to quantify and communicate the risks and uncertainties of coupled human-natural systems. Islands, and tropical coral reef islands in particular, can be excellent models for SES research since they may be considered...
