A (Blurry) Vision of the Future: How Leader Rhetoric about Ultimate Goals Influences Performance

Creator:: Carton, Andrew M., Murphy, Chad, and Clark, Jonathan R.
Abstract:: One key responsibility of leaders involves crafting and communicating two types of messages—visions and values—that help followers understand the ultimate purpose of their work. Although scholars have long considered how leaders communicate visions and values to establish a sense of purpose, they have overlooked how these messages can be used...

Innovation: Integration of Random Variation and Creative Synthesis

Creator:: Chen, Jiyao and Adamson, Christopher
Abstract:: Sarah Harvey has developed an important model called creative synthesis for the use of dialectical reasoning in creative endeavors. This model is put in direct opposition to the evolutionary model called random variation, which, according to Harvey, promotes incremental innovation, while creative synthesis promotes radical innovation. In emphasizing the affirmative...

Warm spring reduced carbon cycle impact of the 2012 US summer drought

Creator:: Wolf, Sebastian, Keenan, Trevor F., Fisher, Joshua B., Baldocchi, Dennis D., Desai, Ankur R., Richardson, Andrew D., Scott, Russell L., Law, Beverly E., Litvak, Marcy E., Brunsell, Nathaniel A., Peters, Wouter, and van der Laan-Luijkx, Ingrid T.
Abstract:: The global terrestrial carbon sink offsets one-third of the world’s fossil fuel emissions, but the strength of this sink is highly sensitive to large-scale extreme events. In 2012, the contiguous United States experienced exceptionally warm temperatures and the most severe drought since the Dust Bowl era of the 1930s, resulting...

Chemical dispersants can suppress the activity of natural oil-degrading microorganisms

Creator:: Kleindienst, Sara, Seidel, Michael, Ziervogel, Kai, Grim, Sharon, Loftis, Kathy, Harrison, Sarah, Malkin, Sairah Y., Perkins, Matthew J., Field, Jennifer, Sogin, Mitchell L., Dittmar, Thorsten, Passow, Uta, Medeiros, Patricia M., and Joye, Samantha B.
Abstract:: During the Deepwater Horizon oil well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico, the application of 7 million liters of chemical dispersants aimed to stimulate microbial crude oil degradation by increasing the bioavailability of oil compounds. However, the effects of dispersants on oil biodegradation rates are debated. In laboratory experiments, we...

Invasive mammal eradication on islands results in substantial conservation gains

Creator:: Jones, Holly P., Holmes, Nick D., Butchart, Stuart H. M., Tershy, Bernie R., Kappes, Peter J., Corkery, Ilse, Aguirre-Muñoz, Alfonso, Armstrong, Doug P., Bonnaud, Elsa, Burbidge, Andrew A., Campbell, Karl, Courchamp, Franck, Cowan, Philip E., Cuthbert, Richard J., Ebbert, Steve, Genovesi, Piero, Howald, Gregg R., Keitt, Bradford S., Kress, Stephen W., Miskelly, Colin M., Oppel, Steffen, Poncet, Sally, Rauzon, Mark J., Rocamora, Gérard, Russell, James C., Samaniego-Herrera, Araceli, Seddon, Philip J., Spatz, Dena R., Towns, David R., and Croll, Donald A.
Abstract:: More than US$21 billion is spent annually on biodiversity conservation. Despite their importance for preventing or slowing extinctions and preserving biodiversity, conservation interventions are rarely assessed systematically for their global impact. Islands house a disproportionately higher amount of biodiversity compared with mainlands, much of which is highly threatened with extinction....

Micromechanics of cellularized biopolymer networks

Creator:: Jones, Christopher A. R., Cibula, Matthew, Feng, Jingchen, Krnacik, Emma A., McIntyre, David H., Levine, Herbert, and Sun, Bo
Abstract:: Collagen gels are widely used in experiments on cell mechanics because they mimic the extracellular matrix in physiological conditions. Collagen gels are often characterized by their bulk rheology; however, variations in the collagen fiber microstructure and cell adhesion forces cause the mechanical properties to be inhomogeneous at the cellular scale....

Long-term litter decomposition controlled by manganese redox cycling

Creator:: Keiluweit, Marco, Nico, Peter, Harmon, Mark E., Mao, Jingdong, Pett-Ridge, Jennifer, and Kleber, Markus
Abstract:: Litter decomposition is a keystone ecosystem process impacting nutrient cycling and productivity, soil properties, and the terrestrial carbon (C) balance, but the factors regulating decomposition rate are still poorly understood. Traditional models assume that the rate is controlled by litter quality, relying on parameters such as lignin content as predictors....

Nature as capital: Advancing and incorporating ecosystem services in United States federal policies and programs

Creator:: Schaefer, Mark, Goldman, Erica, Bartuska, Ann M., Sutton-Grier, Ariana, and Lubchenco, Jane
Abstract:: The concept of nature as capital is gaining visibility in policies and practices in both the public and private sectors. This change is due to an improved ability to assess and value ecosystem services, as well as to a growing recognition of the potential of an ecosystem services approach to...

Analysis of clock-regulated genes in Neurospora reveals widespread posttranscriptional control of metabolic potential

Creator:: Hurley, Jennifer M., Dasgupta, Arko, Emerson, Jillian M., Smith, Kristina M., Freitag, Michael, Zhou, Xiaoying, Ringelberg, Carol S., Knabe, Nicole, Lipzen, Anna, Linduist, Erika A., Daum, Christopher G., Barry, Kerrie W., Grigoriev, Igor V., Galagan, James E., Bell-Pederson, Deborah, Cheng, Chao, Loros, Jennifer J., and Dunlap, Jay C.
Abstract:: Neurospora crassa has been for decades a principal model for filamentous fungal genetics and physiology as well as for understanding the mechanism of circadian clocks. Eukaryotic fungal and animal clocks comprise transcription-translation-based feedback loops that control rhythmic transcription of a substantial fraction of these transcriptomes, yielding the changes in protein...

Vegetation dynamics and rainfall sensitivity of the Amazon

Creator:: Hilker, Thomas, Lyapustin, Alexei I., Tucker, Compton J., Hall, Forrest G., Myneni, Ranga B., Wang, Yujie, Bi, Jian, Mendes de Moura, Yhasmin, and Sellers, Piers J.
Abstract:: We show that the vegetation canopy of the Amazon rainforest is highly sensitive to changes in precipitation patterns and that reduction in rainfall since 2000 has diminished vegetation greenness across large parts of Amazonia. Large-scale directional declines in vegetation greenness may indicate decreases in carbon uptake and substantial changes in...
