Integrating bioenergetics and foraging behavior : the physiological ecology of larval cod (Gadus morhua)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
How do larval cod, Gadus morhua, balance foraging effort against the high cost of swimming in a viscous hydrodynamic regime? A respirometry system was developed to measure the activity metabolism of individual larvae. The ...
Faunal biogeography, community structure, and genetic connectivity of North Atlantic seamounts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
The mechanisms of faunal dispersal across ocean basins are key unknowns toward understanding of the modern biogeography and biodiversity of deep-sea fauna. Seamounts are considered to play a defining role in faunal evolution, ...
Diversity of the marine cyanobacterium Trichodesmium : characterization of the Woods Hole culture collection and quantification of field populations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Trichodesmium is a colonial, N2-fixing cyanobacterium found in tropical oceans. Species of Trichodesmium are genetically similar but several species exist together in the same waters. In order to coexist, Trichodesmium ...
Behavioral ecology of coral reef fishes at spawning aggregation sites
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Iron and Prochlorococcus/
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Iron availability and primary productivity in the oceans are intricately linked through photosynthesis. At the global scale we understand how iron addition induces phytoplankton blooms through meso-scale iron-addition ...
Prochlorococcus genetic transformation and genomics of nitrogen metabolism
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
Prochlorococcus, a unicellular cyanobacterium, is the most abundant phytoplankton in the oligotrophic, oceanic gyres where major plant nutrients such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are at nanomolar concentrations. ...
