Glacial microbiota are hydrologically connected and temporally variable
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Glaciers are melting rapidly. The concurrent export of microbial assemblages alongside glacial meltwater is expected to impact the ecology of adjoining ecosystems. Currently, the source of exported assemblages is poorly ... -
Glacier retreat alters downstream fjord ecosystem structure and function in Greenland
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet is accelerating, with glaciers shifting from marine to land termination and potential consequences for fjord ecosystems downstream. Monthly samples in 2016 in two fjords in southwest ... -
Glass sponge grounds on the Scotian Shelf and their associated biodiversity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Emerald Basin on the Scotian Shelf off Nova Scotia, Canada, is home to a globally unique population of the glass sponge Vazella pourtalesi. Through the analysis of both in situ photographs and trawl catch data from annual ... -
A glimpse of the prokaryotic diversity of the Large Aral Sea reveals novel extremophilic bacterial and archaeal groups
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)During the last five decades, the Aral Sea has gradually changed from a saline water body to a hypersaline lake. Microbial community inhabiting the Aral Sea has been through a succession and continuous adaptation during ... -
Global acceleration in rates of vegetation change over the past 18,000 years
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Global vegetation over the past 18,000 years has been transformed first by the climate changes that accompanied the last deglaciation and again by increasing human pressures; however, the magnitude and patterns of rates ... -
A global biogeographic classification of the mesopelagic zone
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-08)We have developed a global biogeographic classification of the mesopelagic zone to reflect the regional scales over which the ocean interior varies in terms of biodiversity and function. An integrated approach was necessary, ... -
Global Biogeographic Distribution Patterns of Thermoacidophilic Verrucomicrobia Methanotrophs Suggest Allopatric Evolution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Thermoacidophilic methane-oxidizing Verrucomicrobia of the candidate genus Methylacidiphilum represent a bacterial taxon adapted to highly acidic (pH 1–4) and moderate temperature (∼65∘C) methane-containing geothermal ... -
Global endemics-area relationships of vascular plants
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Endemics–Area Relationships (EARs) are fundamental in theoretical and applied biogeography for understanding distribution patterns and promoting biodiversity conservation. However, calculating EARs for vascular plant species ... -
Global fading of the temperature–growth coupling at alpine and polar treelines
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Climate warming is expected to positively alter upward and poleward treelines which are controlled by low temperature and a short growing season. Despite the importance of treelines as a bioassay of climate change, a global ... -
Global food insecurity and famine from reduced crop, marine fishery and livestock production due to climate disruption from nuclear war soot injection
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Atmospheric soot loadings from nuclear weapon detonation would cause disruptions to the Earth’s climate, limiting terrestrial and aquatic food production. Here, we use climate, crop and fishery models to estimate the impacts ... -
Global maps of soil temperature
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation ... -
Global phylogeography suggests extensive eucosmopolitanism in Mesopelagic Fishes (Maurolicus: Sternoptychidae)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Fishes in the mesopelagic zone (200–1000 m) have recently been highlighted for potential exploitation. Here we assess global phylogeography in Maurolicus, the Pearlsides, an ecologically important group. We obtained new ... -
Global reconstruction of life-history strategies: A case study using tunas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)1. Measuring the demographic parameters of exploited populations is central to predicting their vulnerability and extinction risk. However, current rates of population decline and species loss greatly outpace our ability ... -
A global-scale screening of non-native aquatic organisms to identify potentially invasive species under current and future climate conditions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The threat posed by invasive non-native species worldwide requires a global approach to identify which introduced species are likely to pose an elevated risk of impact to native species and ecosystems. To inform policy, ... -
Globally important plant functional traits for coping with climate change
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The last decade has seen a proliferation of studies that use plant functional traits to assess how plants respond to climate change. However, it remains unclear whether there is a global set of traits that can predict ... -
Going With the Flow – Population Genetics of the Kelp Saccharina latissima (Phaeophyceae, Laminariales)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Saccharina latissima is the most important habitat-forming kelp in sheltered areas of North-Atlantic, and there is also an increasing interest in cultivation and utilization of S. latissima. The cultivation activity may ... -
Gonadal Degeneration and Hepatopancreas Alteration in Orange Mud Crab Scylla olivacea Infected With Sacculina beauforti (Crustacea; Rhizocephala; Sacculinidae)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Infestation of Sacculina beauforti on an aquaculture species, mud crab Scylla olivacea is alarming due to its high prevalence and the extreme morphological changes in hosts. To further understand its pathological effect ... -
Gorgonophilus canadensis (Copepoda: Lamippidae) a parasite in the octocoral Paragorgia arborea – relation to host, reproduction, and morphology
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The family Lamippidae (Cyclopoida) are endosymbionts mainly occurring in shallow water octocorals and records from deep-sea corals are few. Here we investigated the relationship between the lamippid Gorgonophilus canadensis ... -
Gray whale habitat use and reproductive success during seismic surveys near their feeding grounds: comparing state-dependent life history models and field data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)We used a stochastic dynamic programming (SDP) model to quantify the consequences of disturbance on pregnant western gray whales during one foraging season. The SDP model has a firm basis in bioenergetics, but detailed ... -
Grazing on Marine Viruses and Its Biogeochemical Implications
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Viruses are the most abundant biological entities in the ocean and show great diversity in terms of size, host specificity, and infection cycle. Lytic viruses induce host cell lysis to release their progeny and thereby ...
