Abstract The blooming cosmopolitan coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi and its viruses (EhVs) are a model for density-dependent virulent dynamics. EhVs commonly exhibit rapid viral reproduction drive host death in high-density laboratory cultures mesocosms that simulate blooms. Here we show this system exhibits physiology-dependent temperate dynamics at environmentally relevant E. densities rather than dynamics, with switching from long-term non-lethal phase healthy hosts to lethal lytic stage...
Abstract Emiliania huxleyi is a globally important marine phytoplankton that routinely infected by viruses. Understanding the controls on growth and demise of E. blooms essential for predicting biogeochemical fate their organic carbon nutrients. In this study, we show production nitric oxide (NO), gaseous, membrane-permeable free radical, hallmark early-stage lytic infection in Coccolithoviruses, both culture natural populations North Atlantic. Enhanced NO was detected intra-...
Professional societies are critical agents of change for making the field coastal and ocean sciences more diverse, equitable, inclusive, just, accessible because their leadership programming engage students, educators, researchers, professionals in a range sectors. Societies reach community members academia, industry, nonprofit organizations, government at all levels, with geographic scope that ranges from local to international. can act as standard setters disciplines, exemplifying...
Coccolithoviruses (EhVs) are large, double-stranded DNA-containing viruses that infect the single-celled, marine coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi. Given cosmopolitan nature and global importance of E. huxleyi as a bloom-forming, calcifying, photoautotroph, huxleyi-EhV interactions play key role in oceanic carbon biogeochemistry. Virally-encoded glycosphingolipids (vGSLs) virulence factors produced by activity virus-encoded serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT). Here, we characterize dynamics,...
Abstract Students and early career researchers/professionals (ECRs) must increasingly acquire a variety of skills expand their collaborative networks to become more competitive as they apply for jobs grants. Funding training overall availability opportunities can, however, pose challenge this plan. The Association the Sciences Limnology Oceanography (ASLO) is proud support professional development member non‐member students ECRs by offering myriad skill‐building programs. These include to:...
Phytoplankton play a central role in the regulation of global carbon and nutrient cycles, forming basis marine food webs. A group biogeochemically important phytoplankton, coccolithophores, produce calcium carbonate scales that have been hypothesized to deter or reduce grazing by microzooplankton. Here, meta-analysis mesocosm-based experiments demonstrates calcification cosmopolitan coccolithophore, Emiliania huxleyi , fails microzooplankton grazing. The median growth ratio for E. (0.56 ±...
Each year, ASLO honors aquatic scientists of various career stages for their exceptional contributions to advancing the fields limnology and oceanography with seven achievement awards. See below list this year's winners. The awardees are invited accept award at an sponsored meeting give a plenary presentation about work career. These presentations recorded added our extensive YouTube library talks plenaries (http://bit.ly/ASLOUTube). This 2024 G. Evelyn Hutchinson Award was presented...
The academic twitter-verse has been buzzing recently with the chatter of failure after a Michigan State University doctoral student wore skirt made 17 rejection letters to her dissertation defense. What this story delightfully illustrates is that and are normal occurrences in science. However, today's social media-focused climate where victories triumphantly shared, our shortcomings selectively ignored, it easy feel alone failure. For early career researchers (ECRs) especially, manuscript...
In today's contentious political climate, scientists feel compelled to engage with policy makers more than ever before. With concerns from how federal and state regulations budgets impact the when, where, of science getting done (i.e., for science) use drive informed, evidence-based decisions policy), want, are oftentimes sought out, bring their voices data table. Our mission at ASLO is empower our members inform local level all way international level. The L&O Bulletin routinely highlights...
