Speleothem Paleoclimatology for the Caribbean, Central America, and North America

Oster, Jessica L.; Warken, Sophie E.; Sekhon, Natasha; Arienzo, Monica M.; Lachniet, Matthew (Quaternary, 2019-03)

Speleothem oxygen isotope records from the Caribbean, Central, and North America reveal climatic controls that include orbital variation, deglacial forcing related to ocean circulation and ice sheet retreat, and the influence ...
Transstadial immune activation in a mosquito: Adults that emerge from infected larvae have stronger antibacterial activity in their hemocoel yet increased susceptibility to malaria infection

Brown, Lisa D.; Shapiro, Lillian L. M.; Thompson, Grayson A.; Estevez-Lao, Tania Y.; Hillyer, Julian F. (Ecology and Evolution, 2019-05)

Larval and adult mosquitoes mount immune responses against pathogens that invade their hemocoel. Although it has been suggested that a correlation exists between immune processes across insect life stages, the influence ...
Spatiotemporal Patterns and Phenology of Tropical Vegetation Solar-Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence across Brazilian Biomes Using Satellite Observations

Merrick, Trina; Pau, Stephanie; Jorge, Maria Luisa S. P.; Silva, Thiago S. F.; Bennartz, Ralf (Remote Sensing, 2019-08)

Solar-induced fluorescence (SIF) has been empirically linked to gross primary productivity (GPP) in multiple ecosystems and is thus a promising tool to address the current uncertainties in carbon fluxes at ecosystem to ...
Seeking enlightenment of fluvial sediment pathways by optically stimulated luminescence signal bleaching of river sediments and deltaic deposits

Chamberlain, Elizabeth L.; Walling, Jakob (Earth Surface Dynamics, 2019-08-09)

Reconstructing sediment pathways in fluvial and deltaic systems beyond instrumental records is challenging due to a lack of suitable methods. Here we explore the potential of luminescence methods for such purposes, focusing ...
Prominent Influence of Socioeconomic and Governance Factors on the Food-Energy-Water Nexus in sub-Saharan Africa

Ding, Ke Jack; Gunda, Thushara; Hornberger, George M. (Earths Future, 2019-09)

Food, energy, and water (FEW) are primary resources required for human populations and ecosystems. Availability of the raw resources is essential, but equally important are the services that deliver resources to human ...
Selection on multiple sexual signals in two Central and Eastern European populations of the barn swallow

Wilkins, Matthew R. (Ecology and Evolution, 2019-10)

Variation in intensity and targets of sexual selection on multiple traits has been suggested to play a major role in promoting phenotypic differentiation between populations, although the divergence in selection may depend ...
The Brickyard in 2020

Furbish, David J.; Jerolmack, Douglas J.; Glade, Rachel C. (2020)

The authors of this essay (David Furbish, Douglas Jerolmack and Rachel Glade) offer an updated view of the state of affairs in the brickyard described in B. K. Forscher’s popular 1963 allegorical letter to Science, “Chaos ...
The Young Brickmakers

Best, Kelsea B. (2020)

In 2020, a young brickmaker (Kelsea Best) provides an update to B. K. Forscher's 1963 vision of the state of the scientific endeavor as a brickyard. As the brickyard becomes ever more chaotic, this essay calls on young ...
On the relationship between collagen- and carbonate-derived carbon isotopes with implications for the inference of carnivore dietary behavior

DeSantis, Larisa R. G.; Feranec, Robert S. S; Southon, John; Cerling, Thure E. E.; Harris, John; Binder, Wendy J. J.; Cohen, Joshua E. E.; Farrell, Aisling B. B.; Lindsey, Emily L. L.; Meachen, Julie; O'Keefe, Frank Robin; Takeuchi, Gary T. T. (Frontiers In Ecology And Evolution, 2022-12-20)

Studies of Rancho La Brea predators have yielded disparate dietary interpretations when analyzing bone collagen vs. enamel carbonate-requiring a better understanding of the relationship between stable carbon isotopes in ...
