The Lena River in central Siberia is one of the
major pathways translocating terrestrial organic matter (OM)
from its vast catchment area to the coastal zone of the Laptev
Sea and the Arctic Ocean. The permafrost soils of its far
south-stretching catchment, which store huge amounts of
OM, will most...

Anthropogenic activities have posed many threats to the oceans and marine life. Understanding how individuals are affected and physiologically respond to these threats is crucial and allows for management and conservation applications. I evaluated the overall health condition of a subpopulation of gray whales (Eschrichtius robustus) along the Oregon coast,...
Recent works have investigated use of the hydrogen isotopic composition of C₃₇ alkenones (δD[subscript K37s]), lipid biomarkers of certain haptophyte microalgae, as an independent paleosalinity proxy. I discuss herein the factors impeding such an application and identify the potential alternative use of δD[subscript K37s] measurements as a proxy for non-thermal,...
Lipid biomarkers in sediments are widely used to infer environmental conditions that have
occurred in the geological past, but these reconstructions require a careful consideration of the
biotic and abiotic processes that degrade and alter the lipid biomarker compositions before
and after deposition. In this paper, we use alkenones produced...

Plant wax lipids and lignin phenols are the two most common classes of molecular markers that are used to trace vascular plant-derived OM in the marine environment. However, their ¹³C and ¹⁴C compositions have not been directly compared, which can be used to constrain the flux and attenuation of terrestrial...
Persistent infections with infectious pancreatic necrosis virus
(IPNV) were established in two salmonid cell lines and in live brook
trout. Virus inocula containing high concentrations of defective
interfering IPNV enhanced but were not a requirement for the establishment
of persistent infections in cell lines derived from steelhead
trout (STE-137) and...
Application of the ²³⁰Th normalization method to estimate sediment burial fluxes in six cores from the
eastern equatorial Pacific (EEP) reveals that bulk sediment and organic carbon fluxes display a coherent regional
pattern during the Holocene that is consistent with modern oceanographic conditions, in contrast with estimates
of bulk mass...
Contracting nucleolar vacuoles are a general and consistent
feature of somatic tobacco cells growing in microcultures. Nucleolar
vacuoles were studied in cells from callus tissues of two
single-cell clones, H-196 and H-239, of hybrid tobacco (Nicotiana
tabacum X N. glutinosa). Vacuoles periodically contracted either
completely or incompletely, apparently releasing a...
