1. Lipids have more negative delta(13)C values relative to other major biochemical compounds in plant and animal tissues. Although variable lipid content biological tissues alters results conclusions of analyses aquatic food web migration studies, no standard correction protocol exists. 2. We compared chemical extraction mathematical methods for freshwater marine fishes invertebrates better understand impacts approaches on carbon (delta(13)C) nitrogen (delta(15)N) stable isotope data. 3....
Movements of Atlantic bluefin tuna ( Thunnus thynnus , ABFT) from specific western forage grounds are not well described, and the extent their spawning areas is mainly surmised. In 2005 2006, we deployed 41 pop-up satellite archival tags (PSATs) on adult off coast Nova Scotia, Canada, Georges Bank. During assumed period, 56% tagged ABFT occupied a known area, while 44% were located in distant oceanic regions. Assuming obligate annual spawning, these results inconsistent with notion site...
Abstract Stable isotope ratios act as chemical tracers of animal diet, and are used to study food web dynamics. Because carbon stable values influenced by tissue lipid content, a number extraction methods have been remove bias, but, in some species tissues, extractions also alter nitrogen values. We analyzed δ 13 C 15 N Atlantic bluefin tuna liver white muscle, whole herring, fish tissues covering wide range content (bulk C:N 3.1–12.5). In order compare from traditional chloroform/methanol...
Abstract Transmissibility (T) may be estimated from the results of routine pumping tests water wells when only discharge (Q), drawdown (s) and aquifer thickness (m) are known:

Considerable uncertainty remains over how increasing atmospheric CO2 and anthropogenic climate changes are affecting open-ocean marine ecosystems from phytoplankton to top predators. Biological time series data thus urgently needed for the world's oceans. Here, we use carbon stable isotope composition of tuna provide a first insight into existence global trends in complex ecosystem dynamics oceanic cycle. From 2000 2015, considerable declines δ13 C values 0.8‰-2.5‰ were observed across three...
Abstract Aim We examined potential environmental drivers of broad‐scale spatial patterns in the trophic structure marine ecosystems as represented by nitrogen stable isotopes globally distributed predators. Additionally, we assessed effects scale on predictive capabilities variables. Location Global oceans. Time period 2000 to 2015. Major taxa studied Tunas: Thunnus albacares , obesus alalunga . Methods undertook a global compilation and meta‐analysis bulk isotope ratios (δ 15 N values)...
Most monitoring programs next to large per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) sources focus on drinking water contamination near source zones. However, less is understood about how these affect downgradient hydrological systems food webs. Here, we report paired PFAS measurements in water, sediment, aquatic biota along a gradient away from zones contaminated by the use of legacy aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) manufactured using electrochemical fluorination. Clustering analysis indicates...

Stick‐slip has been considered to be a mechanism of shallow focus earthquakes along pre‐existing faults, and thus laboratory studies relevant stick‐slip may lead better understanding the mechanisms eventually an effective prediction and/or control them. This paper deals with effects various simulated gouges on sliding behavior rocks special emphasis how fault gouge alters potentially unstable brittle rock. About 150 specimens Tennessee sandstone 35° precut are deformed dry in triaxial...
