Diverse invertebrate communities inhabiting carbonate rocks at methane seeps may rely on a mix of local chemosynthetic production and sinking photosynthetic organic matter, with relative importance shaped by environmental conditions. We investigate the contribution of chemosynthetic carbon to macrofaunal diets at six Southern California methane seeps (275–1020 m depth) and the influence of seep site, seepage habitat, water dep...
A global analysis of field body temperatures of active squamates in relation to climate and behaviourNARA Subscribed
Aim Squamate fitness is affected by body temperature, which in turn is influenced by environmental temperatures and, in many species, by exposure to solar radiation. The biophysical drivers of body temperature have been widely studied, but we lack an integrative synthesis of actual body temperatures experienced in the field, and their relationships to environmental temperatures, across phylogeny, behaviour and climate. Locatio...
Gene regulation underpinning increased thermal tolerance in a laboratory‐evolved coral photosymbiontNARA Subscribed
Small increases in ocean temperature can disrupt the obligate symbiosis between corals and dinoflagellate microalgae, resulting in coral bleaching. Little is known about the genes that drive the physiological and bleaching response of algal symbionts to elevated temperature. Moreover, many studies to‐date have compared highly divergent strains, making it challenging to accredit specific genes to contrasting traits. Here, we co...
Oxygen as a control on sea floor biological communities and their roles in sedimentary carbon cyclingNARA Subscribed
13 C tracer experiments were conducted at sites spanning the steep oxygen, organic matter, and biological community gradients across the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone, in order to quantify the role that benthic fauna play in the short‐term processing of organic matter (OM) and to determine how this varies among different environments. Metazoan macrofauna and macrofauna‐sized foraminiferans took up as much as 56 ± 13 mg of ad...

Indirect Effects of Feral Horses on Estuarine CommunitiesNARA Subscribed
Livestock have grazed on salt marshes for centuries and have dramatic effects on marsh vegetation. Most studies examining the effects of livestock on salt marshes have focused on the effects on plants rather than on salt marsh fauna or ecological processes. However, grazers such as feral horses may have strong indirect effects on communities by altering the habitat, making it more or less suitable for species that potentially...
