  Siberian plants shift their phenology in response to climate change 

  Rosbakh, Sergey; Hartig, Florian; Sandanov, Denis V.; Bukharova, Evgenya V.; Miller, Tara K.; Primack, Richard B. (2021-09)

  Siberia has undergone dramatic climatic changes due to global warming in recent decades. Yet, the ecological responses to these climatic changes are still poorly understood due to a lack of data. Here, we use a unique data ...

  Sulfur bacteria promote dissolution of authigenic carbonates at marine methane seeps 

  Leprich, Dalton J.; Flood, Beverly E.; Schroedl, Peter R.; Ricci, Elizabeth; Marlow, Jeffery J.; Girguis, Peter R.; Bailey, Jake V. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-07)

  Carbonate rocks at marine methane seeps are commonly colonized by sulfur-oxidizing bacteria that co-occur with etch pits that suggest active dissolution. We show that sulfur-oxidizing bacteria are abundant on the surface ...

  Hand, K.; Phillips, C.B.; Chyba, C.F.; Toner, B.; Katija, K.; Orphan, V.; Huber, J.; Cavanaugh, C.M.; Carlson, M.; Christner, B.; Templeton, A.; Seewald, J.; Hofgartner, J.D.; Amend, J.P.; Orcutt, B.N.; Bartlett, D.H.; Falkowski, P.; Anderson, R.; Spear, J.R.; Shank, T.; Fischer, W.W.; Hazen, R.M.; Hoehler, T.; D'Hondt, S.; Pitesky, J.; Lynch, K.; Shock, E.L.; Craft, K.; Boyd, E.; House, C.H.; Reysenbach, A.-L.; Glass, J.; Fike, D.; Baross, J.A.; Gogarten, J.P.; Kaçar, B.; El-Naggar, M.; Murray, A.E.; Dupont, C.; Scully, J.; Rothschild, L.; Trembath-Reichert, E.; Klein, F.; Cohen, P.A.; Gile, G.H.; Lloyd, K.; Dekas, A.; Delaney, J.R.; Skidmore, M.; Buongiorno, J.; Rogers, K.; Hofmann, A.; Brazelton, W.J.; Anbar, A.; Manalang, D.A.; Stevenson, B.; Neuer, S.; Hara, E.; Nordheim, T.; Shapiro, R.; Bradley, A.S.; Mikucki, J.; Brown, M.E.; Glamoclija, M.; Reyes, C.; Sánchez-Román, M.; Farmer, J.D.; Giovannelli, D.; Suel, G.; Trumbo, S.; Cameron, M.; Osburn, M.; Bradley, J.A.; Garcia-Pichel, F.; Steen, A.D.; Marlow, Jeffrey; Trubl, G.; Robinson, K.; Caro, T.; Fulfer, V.; Parker, C.W.; Feyhl-Buska, J.; Roussel, A. (American Astronomical Society, 2021-03-18)

  Here we provide a brief perspective on the role of biology in NASA’s planetary science goals, and its spacecraft missions, past, present, and future. We argue that while biology — via astrobiology — generates much interest ...

  Strategic growth in social vertebrates 

  Buston, Peter; Clutton-Brock, Tim (Elsevier, 2022-08-01)

  Individual differences in growth and size of vertebrates often represent adaptive, plastic responses to contrasts in ecological conditions. Recent studies show that vertebrates can also modify their growth and size in an ...
