Microbial and small zooplankton communities predict density of baleen whales in the southern California Current Ecosystem Open
Understanding the density of marine mammals is important for assessing population dynamics and evaluating the impacts of human activities on these species. In this work, we examine microorganisms that may be ecologically associated, whethe…

Disturbance ecology in a pelagic upwelling biome: Lagrangian frameworks for studying succession Open
Disturbance ecology is underdeveloped in marine pelagic ecosystems relative to terrestrial and aquatic benthic habitats, in part because, when measured relative to a fixed location, postdisturbance recovery involves the advection of entire…

Atypical phosphatases drive dissolved organic phosphorus utilization by phosphorus-stressed phytoplankton in the California Current Ecosystem Open
In the ocean, dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) supports the health and productivity of marine phytoplankton, a phenomenon most often investigated under inorganic phosphate (Pi) scarcity. However, microbial DOP acquisition occurring in Pi…

Relationships between phytoplankton pigments and DNA- or RNA-based abundances support ecological applications Open
Observations of phytoplankton abundances and community structure are critical towards understanding marine ecosystems. Common approaches to determine group-specific abundances include measuring phytoplankton pigments via high-performance l…

Molecular Mechanisms for Iron Uptake and Homeostasis in Marine Eukaryotic Phytoplankton Open
The micronutrient iron is essential for phytoplankton growth due to its central role in a wide variety of key metabolic processes including photosynthesis and nitrate assimilation. As a result of scarce bioavailable iron in seawater, marin…

Identification and characterization of a skin microbiome on <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> suggests environmental microbes confer cuticle protection Open
In the wild, C. elegans are emersed in environments teeming with a veritable menagerie of microorganisms. The C. elegans cuticular surface serves as a barrier and first point of contact with their microbial environments. In this study, we …

Genome-resolved biogeography of Phaeocystales, cosmopolitan bloom-forming algae Open
Phaeocystis is a genus of nanoplanktonic haptophytes, prevalent in all of the world’s oceans. At least three Phaeocystis species form large mucilaginous colonies that contribute to high-biomass blooms, making them major players in biogeoch…

Toward Identifying the Critical Ecological Habitat of Larval Fishes: An Environmental DNA Window into Fisheries Management Open
Environmental DNA (eDNA)-based ecological co-occurrence networks can provide a valuable tool for fisheries and conservation management. In the past, it was nearly impossible to explore the microscopic world of larval fishes in one sampling…
