Biotic and abiotic surfaces in marine waters are rapidly colonized by microorganisms.
Surface colonization and subsequent biofilm formation and development provide numerous …

Marine phytoplankton blooms are annual spring events that sustain active and diverse
bloom-associated bacterial populations. Blooms vary considerably in terms of eukaryotic …

Microbes regulate the composition and turnover of organic matter. Here we developed a
framework called Energy-Diversity-Trait integrative Analysis to quantify how dissolved …

Human-like modes of communication, including mutual gaze, in dogs may have been
acquired during domestication with humans. We show that gazing behavior from dogs, but …

The carbon cycle of the coastal ocean is a dynamic component of the global carbon budget.
But the diverse sources and sinks of carbon and their complex interactions in these waters …

Bacteria play a central role in the cycling of carbon, yet our understanding of the relationship
between the taxonomic composition and the degradation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) …

Aerosol particles that exist in the marine atmosphere are derived from both continental and
oceanic sources. Since aerosol lifetimes and atmospheric transport times often are similar, 1 …

One of the major conundrums in oceanography for the past 20 y has been that, although the
total flux of dissolved organic carbon (OC; DOC) discharged annually to the global ocean …

Marine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) exhibits a spectrum of reactivity, from very fast
turnover of the most bioavailable forms in the surface ocean to long-lived materials …

The partitioning of organic matter (OM) between dissolved and particulate phases is an
important factor in determining the fate of organic carbon in the ocean. Dissolved organic …
