Bacteria are fundamental to coral health and resilience, though a dearth of knowledge exists on the formation of the coral microbiome in early life history stages. Although this initial microbial consortium is thought to hold key roles throughout development, its sparsity is easily obscured by environmental background microbiota. This opacity renders accurate studies of the early coral microbiome difficult, and limits applicat...

Annual killifishes of the genus Nothobranchius live in seasonal water bodies in Eastern Africa. Adults die at the end of the rainy season when seasonal pools desiccate but diapaused embryos persist in the sediments and hatch in subsequent rainy seasons. Embryos use environmental cues to determine optimal hatching conditions to begin a new generation. We simulated a predation event by crushing Nothobranchius embryos and tested...

Background Triazoles are widely used for treatment and prevention of invasive aspergillosis (IA) but can cause serious drug-drug interactions (DDIs) with chemotherapeutic (CT) and immunosuppressant (IS) agents via CYP3A4 inhibition. The frequency of triazole-CT or IS concurrent administration in hematologic malignancies (HM) patients newly admitted with IA is largely unknown. Methods We studied US IQVIA claims including adults...

The world's oceans and their biodiversity are undergoing change driven by climate change and anthropogenic impacts such as fishing. The Kerguelen Plateau is a biodiversity hotspot with many endemic fish species; furthermore, the region has economic importance in supporting valuable fisheries. This region is also a climate change hotspot with known notable changes in the location of the polar front, ocean currents, and primary...

Ecological disturbances are discrete events that alter or transform the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics of ecosystems. Disturbance can cause animal populations to decline and, according to the risk‐disturbance hypothesis and population collapse framework, these declines can be predicted by declines in animal body condition. However, no research has empirically examined the general relationship between body co...

Organic carbon in seawater plays a significant role in the global carbon cycle. The concentration and composition of dissolved organic carbon reflect the activity of the biological community and chemical reactions that occur in seawater. From 2016 to 2019, we repeatedly sampled the oligotrophic northwest Sargasso Sea in the vicinity of the Bermuda Atlantic Time‐series Study site (BATS) to quantitatively follow known compounds...

Graphite Creek is an unusual flake graphite deposit located on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska, USA. We present field observations, uranium-lead (U–Pb) monazite and titanite geochronology, carbon (C) and sulfur (S) stable isotope geochemistry, and graphite Raman spectroscopy data from this deposit that support a new model of flake graphite ore genesis in high-grade metamorphic environments. The Graphite Creek deposit is within th...

Sexual harassment is a pervasive problem on oceanographic research vessels and while conducting fieldwork in general. A variety of factors contribute to inadequate protection against sexual harassment, such as poor training in prevention, support, and response; remoteness of field sites; academic hierarchies that reinforce uneven power dynamics that extend to fieldwork; and multi-institutional teams with distinct policies or r...

Ecosystem engineers often exert strong effects on the recruitment of other species through modification of the local abiotic and biotic environment. In 2015, artificial reefs in eastern Tasmania (− 42.64693, 148.01481) spanning seven different patch sizes (0.12–7.68 m 2 ) and supporting four densities of transplanted kelp ( Ecklonia radiata at 0, 4.1, 8.2 and 16.4 kelp m −2 ) were used to determine how the patch size and densi...
