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....

Salmon and other anadromous fish are consumed by vertebrates with distinct
life history strategies to capitalize on this ephemeral pulse of resource availability.
Depending on the timing of salmon arrival, this resource may be in surplus to
the needs of vertebrate consumers if, for instance, their populations are limited
by...

Background: Prenatal mercury (Hg) exposure is associated with adverse child neurobehavioral
outcomes. Because Hg can interfere with placental functioning and cross the placenta to target the
fetal brain, prenatal Hg exposure can inhibit fetal growth and development directly and indirectly.
Objectives: We examined potential associations between prenatal Hg exposure assessed...

Most oceanographic instruments on the seafloor have no connections with the surface and therefore have to run on batteries and store data until recovery. To demonstrate a developing technology, sensors and acoustic modems were powered with energy harvested from the seafloor, and data were relayed acoustically in near–real time to...
