Using stable isotopes to describe the trophic structure of gelatinous zooplankton across the deep pelagicNARA Subscribed
Although gelatinous zooplankton are key members of marine ecosystems and food webs, their trophic ecology is poorly described across the deep pelagic. We used stable carbon (bulk tissue) and nitrogen (bulk tissue and amino acid) isotope analysis to estimate the trophic positions (TPs) of abundant gelatinous zooplankton (chaetognaths, cnidarians, ctenophores, mollusks, pelagic tunicates) across depth habitats. We collected gela...
Purpose To test the hypothesis that training with reduced carbohydrate (CHO) availability increases bone resorption in adolescent soccer players. Methods In a randomised crossover design, ten male players (age: 17.4 ± 0.8 years) from an English Premier League academy completed an acute 90-min field-based training session (occurring between 10:30–12:00) in conditions of high (TRAIN HIGH; 1.5 g.kg −1 , 60 g, 1.5 g.kg −1 and 1.5...
Gelatinous zooplankton are increasingly recognized as key components of pelagic ecosystems, and there have been many recent insights into their ecology and roles in food webs. To examine the trophic ecology of siphonophores (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa), we used bulk (carbon and nitrogen) and compound‐specific (nitrogen) isotope analysis of individual amino acids (CSIA‐AA). We collected samples of 15 siphonophore genera using blue‐wate...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
Diversity of hopanoids and squalene‐hopene cyclases across a tropical land‐sea gradientNARA Subscribed
Summary Bacterial hopanoids are ubiquitous in Earth surface environments. They hold promise as environmental and ecological biomarkers, if the phylogeny and physiological drivers of hopanoid biosynthesis can be linked with the distribution of hopanoids observed across a breadth of samples. Here we survey the diversity of hopanoid cyclases from a land‐sea gradient across the island of San Salvador, in the easternmost part of th...
