Does warmth from hydrothermal springs play a vital role in the biology and ecology of abyssal animals? Deep off central California, thousands octopus (Muusoctopus robustus) migrate through cold dark waters to near an extinct volcano mate, nest, die, forming largest known aggregation on Earth. Warmth plays key by raising metabolic rates, speeding embryonic development, presumably increasing reproductive success; we show that brood times for females are ~1.8 years, far faster than expected...
Corals and sponges in rocky deep-sea environments are foundation species postulated to enhance local diversity by increasing biogenic habitat heterogeneity enriching carbon cycling. These key groups highly vulnerable disturbances (e.g., trawling, mining, pollution) threatened expansive changes ocean conditions linked climate change (acidification, warming, deoxygenation). Once damaged trawling or other disturbances, recolonization regrowth may require centuries longer, highlighting the need...
Abstract The physiological responses of plants to variable levels root and shoot herbivory in the field may yield valuable insights regarding potential compensation or tolerance for herbivory. In an infestation Centaurea stoebe (spotted knapweed) located Colorado foothills, we measured physiology, biomass, flower production individual undergoing a natural range by above- belowground biological control insects, Larinus minutus Cyphocleonus achates. Over growing season, net carbon assimilation...
Abstract Current information on the status and trends of ocean change is needed to support effective responsive management, particularly for deep ocean. Creating consistent, collaborative actionable mechanisms a key component Deep Ocean Observing Strategy, program United Nations Decade Science Sustainable Development. Here, we share an iterative, agile, human-centred approach co-designing datastreams deep-sea indicators that serves stakeholders, including US National Marine Sanctuaries,...
Earth’s largest animal species, blue and fin whales, share a similar life history strategy involving annual long-distance migration between foraging breeding habitat. The difficulty of monitoring spatial distributions both species simultaneously has limited understanding their sympatry within habitats that sustain them. In addressing this observational challenge, valuable method is acoustic vector sensing the sounds produced by whales. Using three years continuous sensor data, we examine...
Osedax, the deep-sea annelid found at sunken whalefalls, is known to host Oceanospirillales bacterial endosymbionts intracellularly in specialized roots, which help it feed exclusively on vertebrate bones. Past studies, however, have also made mention of external bacteria their trunks. During a 14-yr study, we reveal dynamic, yet persistent, shift Campylobacterales integrated into epidermis change over time as whale carcass degrades sea floor. The associated with seven species comprise 67%...

Coastal areas continue to be popular destinations for tourists as well a large population who now reside year‐round near coasts and whose size is predicted grow steadily. Along with rapid growth in recreational commercial marine activities, this increase coastal development also brings issues related urban runoff, water quality, beach access, ecosystem health. All of these factors contribute an pressure on the living biota found waters. managers are therefore faced dual task conserving...
This paper provides insight into ages and patterns of radial growth from mature trees at Martin Park Nature Center, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma.A total 80 were sampled crossdated using dendrochronology the three most common genera Center: Quercus, Celtis, Ulmus.The oldest park Q. macrocarpa C. laevigata with individuals dating back to 1920s 1930s.A pulse recruitment occurred in 1960s that likely reflected changes land-use as property transitioned private ownership City City.A sequence...
The topic of coastal upwelling brings together a wide variety scientific problems and societal implications. Long-studied at larger scales along the California coast, it is now known that wind-driven can be very localized process controlled by details coastline shape ensuing wind response. vigorousness, duration, source region for events all affect amount primary production takes place, which, in turn, controls food availability higher trophic levels. Beyond local control, coastwide,...
