Honey bee colony losses are a major concern in the USA and across the globe. Long-term data on losses
are critical for putting yearly losses in context. US colony loss surveys have been conducted yearly since the winter
of 2006–2007. Here, we report the results from the eighth annual survey...

We investigated DNA methylomes of pediatric B-cell
acute lymphoblastic leukemias (B-ALLs) using
whole-genome bisulfite sequencing and high-definition
microarrays, along with RNA expression
profiles. Epigenetic alteration of B-ALLs occurred in
two tracks: de novo methylation of small functional
compartments and demethylation of large intercompartmental
backbones. The deviations were exaggerated
in lamina-associated...

Emerging application areas such as air pollution in megacities, wind energy, urban security, and operation of unmanned aerial vehicles have intensified scientific and societal interest in mountain meteorology. To address scientific needs and help improve the prediction of mountain weather, the U.S. Department of Defense has funded a research effort—the...

Significant seabird mortality on the Oregon (OR) and Washington (WA) coast in 2009 has been attributed
to a massive bloom of the dinoflagellate Akashiwo sanguinea (K. Hirasaka) G. Hansen & Ø. Moestrup.
Initial, albeit limited, observations suggested this bloom began in WA and reached OR waters through
southward transport. Here,...

There is a lack of consensus regarding the roles of sulfide saturation versus volatile degassing on the partitioning of Cu and Ag during differentiation and eruption of convergent margin magmas. Because of their oxidized character, volatile-rich magmas from the Eastern Manus Back-arc Basin (EMBB) only reach sulfide saturation following magnetite-driven...

We use autonomous gas measurements to examine the metabolic balance (photosynthesis
minus respiration) of coastal Antarctic waters during the spring/summer growth season. Our observations
capture the development of a massive phytoplankton bloom and reveal striking variability in pCO₂ and
biological oxygen saturation (ΔO₂/Ar) resulting from large shifts in community metabolism...

Hydroacoustic data document the occurrence of 5 flare clusters and several single flares from which bubbles rise through the entire water column from an active seep site at 40 m water depth in the central North Sea. We investigated the difference in dissolved methane distributions along a 6 km transect...

We investigated dissolved methane distributions along a 6 km transect crossing active seep sites at 40 m water depth in the central North Sea. These investigations were done under conditions of thermal stratification in summer (July 2013) and homogenous water column in winter (January 2014). Dissolved methane accumulated below the...
