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...
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...
This white paper gives an overview of the software applications used by university presses to publish digital monographs. In addition, we will look at routes taken by university presses to move from all print to some e-publishing and list the supplemental online content that is typically offered for a fee.
Among the many issues associated with integrating e-books into library collections and services, the revision of existing workflows in cataloging units has received little attention. The experience designing new workflows for e-books at Oregon State University Libraries since 2008 is described in detail from the perspective of three different sources...
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,...

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...

We present a spatially extensive record of dinitrogen (N₂) fixation rates and distributions
of N₂ fixing microorganisms along with the results of exogenous phosphorus (P) addition experiments
conducted during a series of cruises in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG). We measured the
N₂ and carbon (C) fixation rates of...
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...
