Marine bacteria play vital roles in every niche of the ocean, from small-scale symbioses to large-scale productivity and the regulation of Earth’s climate. Recent advances in molecular tools now allow us to probe the genetic potential of entire microbial communities. The next step is linking these diverse communities to the...

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...

Studies were conducted in the vicinity of Mount Tolman
on the Colville Indian Reservation in eastern Washington in
order to identify vegetation habitat types of the area.
After field studies were completed, Daubenmire's keys to
habitat types of eastern Washington (1968, 1970) were used
to determine habitat types of the...

In the fall of 2005, I studied abroad in Athens, Greece for one term. This is retelling of experiences that I had, written in the style of my memories. While I was in Greece, I kept an electronic diary, a picture diary, and a scrapbook to keep my memories vivid...

Fishery management production models tend to stress only the elements directly linked to fish (i.e. fish, fish food, and fish predators). Large coastal jellyfish are major consumers of plankton in heavily fished ecosystems; yet, they are frequently not included as model components. We explore the relationship between gulf menhaden (Brevoortia...

An existing database of relative sea-level (RSL) reconstructions from the U.S. Atlantic coast lacked valid sea-level index points from Georgia and Florida. This region lies on the edge of the collapsing forebulge of the former Laurentide Ice Sheet making it an important location for understanding glacio-isostatic adjustment and the history...

Dibenzo(def,p)chrysene (DBC), (also known as dibenzo[a,l]pyrene), is a high molecular weight
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) found in the environment, including food, produced by
the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. DBC, classified by IARC as a 2A probable human
carcinogen, has a relative potency factor (RPF) in animal cancer models 30-fold higher...
