A longstanding hypothesis in evolutionary biology is that trade-offs between natural and sexual selection often underlie the diversification of signals wild. classic example this "selection trade-off hypothesis" proposes males evolve elaborate conspicuous ornamentation low-risk environments where female preferences dominate on traits, but they muted relatively cryptic traits high-risk from predators acts against potentially weaken or reverse. However, little direct empirical evidence...
Abstract The sources and concentrations of ice‐nucleating particles (INPs) over India are not well known. Here, INP in rainwater from Northern a dust sample the Thar Desert characterized. Rainwater ranged between 10 4 3 × 7 L −1 water, spanning temperatures −4 −28 °C. During monsoon season, were low approached those remote marine air mass. winter INPs active to −10 °C occasionally observed. An increase activity sometimes occurred after initial onset rain. freezing temperature samples at...
Picophytoplankton (PicoP) are increasingly recognized as significant contributors to primary productivity and phytoplankton biomass in coastal estuarine systems. Remarkably though, PicoP composition is unknown or not well-resolved several large estuaries including the semi-lagoonal Neuse River Estuary (NRE), a tributary of second largest estuary-system lower USA, Pamlico-Albemarle Sound. The NRE impacted by extreme weather events, recent increases precipitation flooding associated with...
Abstract This work presents measurements of bioaerosol diversity and ice nucleating particle (INP) concentration in total suspended particulate matter along a transect the North‐Western Himalayan Region. Drop freezing assay was used to measure INP spectra. Flow cytometry analysis performed examine abundance autofluorescent entities samples. The DNA sequences were analyze relative abundance, diversity, putative functional traits community. concentrations varied from 1.5 × 10 −3 5.5 L −1 air...
