Many bacteria exhibit the remarkable ability to thrive on a diverse range of nutritional substrates. This allows them to survive in environments with a complex composition of resources, even if their total availability is low. The optimal regulation …
Phytoplankton encounter a range of light and nutrient conditions in nature and must adjust their internal carbon and nitrogen allocations to grow across different resource environments. Current phytoplankton carbon budget models treat respiration …
Environmental gradients are pervasive across ecosystems and play a fundamental role in structuring species distributions and community dynamics. While ecological theory mainly focuses on species with distinct preferences for specific niches along the …
In this work, we introduce a novel method for compound identification in mixtures based on nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. Contrary to many other methods, our approach can be used without peak-picking the mixture spectrum and simultaneously …
With almost 700 Pg of carbon, marine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) stores more carbon than all living biomass on Earth combined. However, the controls behind the persistence and the spatial patterns of DOC concentrations on the basin scale remain …
For many migratory species, inexperienced (naïve) individuals reach remote non-breeding areas independently using one or more inherited compass headings and, potentially, magnetic signposts to gauge where to switch between compass headings. Inherited …
