The Scleractinian corals Orbicella annularis and O. faveolata have survived by acclimatizing to environmental changes in water depth sea surface temperature (SST). However, the complex physiological mechanisms which this is achieved remain only partially understood, limiting accurate prediction of coral response future climate change. This study quantitatively tracks spatial temporal Symbiodiniaceae biomolecule (chromatophores, calmodulin, carbonic anhydrase mucus) abundance that are...
Abstract Maternal age can influence reproductive success and offspring fitness, but the timing, magnitude direction of those impacts are not well understood. Evolutionary theory predicts that selection on fertility senescence is stronger than maternal effect senescence, therefore, rate will be faster senescence. We used a 36‐year study northern elephant seals ( Mirounga angustirostris ) to investigate Our dataset included 103,746 sightings 1203 known‐age female seals. hypothesized (maternal...
Long-term studies are critical for ecological understanding, but they underutilized as inclusive opportunities training ecologists. We use our perspective from the Año Nuevo elephant seal programme along with surveys community members to propose that long-term could be better leveraged promote education and professional development in ecology. Drawing on experiences mentors mentees, we demonstrate how can their resources, including rich data, robust logistics extensive networks, improve...
Abstract In life sciences graduate programs in the United States, efforts are underway to address barriers academic success—namely, using interventions targeted at addressing inclusivity and diversity concerns. However, students typically simultaneously workers for their institutions, where they face workplace challenges such as low wages, inadequate benefits, vulnerability harassment abuse. These may disproportionately affect with excluded identities thereby equity. recent years, student...
