Creator:: Wilson, Samuel T., Barone, Benedetto, Ascani, Francois, Bidigare, Robert R., Church, Matthew J., del Valle, Daniela A., Dyhrman, Sonya T., Ferrón, Sara, Fitzsimmons, Jessica N., Juranek, Laurie W., Kolber, Zbigniew S., Letelier, Ricardo M., Martínez‐García, Sandra, Nicholson, David P., Richards, Kelvin J., Rii, Yoshimi M., Rouco, Mónica, Viviani, Donn A., White, Angelicque E., Zehr, Jonathan P., and Karl, David M.
Abstract:: Time-series observations are critical to understand the structure, function, and dynamics of marine ecosystems. The Hawaii Ocean Time-series program has maintained near-monthly sampling at Station ALOHA (22°45′N, 158°00′W) in the oligotrophic North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG) since 1988 and has identified ecosystem variability over seasonal to interannual timescales. To further...

Abstract:: The relative lability, elemental stoichiometry, and remineralization rates of various particulate organic matter (POM) substrates by natural heterotrophic marine microorganisms was investigated. POM was harvested from laboratory cultures of a marine diazotroph (Trichodesmium IMS101), a cosmopolitan diatom (Thalassiosira weissflogii), a common marine cyanobacteria (Prochlorococcus MED4), and from surface waters off...

Abstract:: We investigated the effects of elevated pCO₂ on cultures of the unicellular N₂-fixing cyanobacterium Crocosphaera watsonii WH8501. Using CO₂-enriched air, cultures grown in batch mode under high light intensity were exposed to initial conditions approximating current atmospheric CO₂ concentrations (~400 ppm) as well as CO₂ levels corresponding to low- and...

Abstract:: The particle size distribution (PSD) is a critical aspect of the oceanic ecosystem. Local variability in the PSD can be indicative of shifts in microbial community structure and reveal patterns in cell growth and loss. The PSD also plays a central role in particle export by influencing settling speed. Satellite-based...

Abstract:: During the summer of 2012, we used laser diffractometry to investigate the temporal and vertical variability of the particle size spectrum (1.25–100 µm in equivalent diameter) in the euphotic zone of the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Particles measured with this optical method accounted for ∼40% of the particulate carbon stocks...

Abstract:: Di-nitrogen (N₂) fixation plays a well-recognized role in the enhancement of primary production and arguably particle export in oligotrophic regions of the subtropical and tropical oceans. However, recent evidence suggests that N₂ fixation may also be significant in regions of the surface ocean proximate to or overlying zones of intense...

Abstract:: The accumulation of domoic acid (DA) and saxitoxins (STX), phycotoxins produced by some species of Pseudo-nitzschia and Alexandrium, respectively, in coastal food webs are a focus of research on the West Coast of the United States due to the deleterious effects they have on coastal ecosystems and economies. Results are...

Abstract:: 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,...

Abstract:: We conducted 11 independent short-term carbon dioxide (CO₂) manipulation experiments using colonies of the filamentous cyanobacteria Trichodesmium isolated on three cruises in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG). Dinitrogen (N₂) and carbon (C) fixation rates of these colonies were compared over CO₂ conditions ranging from ~ 18 Pa (equivalent to...
