Data from Kahn et al. (Trophic ecology of glass sponge reefs in the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia)

Chu, Jackson WF, Kahn, Amanda S, Leys, Sally P
Sponges link the microbial loop with benthic communities by feeding on bacteria. Glass sponge reefs on the continental shelf of western Canada have extremely high grazing rates, consuming seven times more particulate carbon than can be supplied by vertical flux alone. Unlike many sponges, the...

Data from: Behaviors of sessile benthic animals in the abyssal northeast Pacific Ocean
2020-01-07
Kahn, Amanda S., Pennelly, Clark W., McGill, Paul R., Leys, Sally P.
Time-lapse photography provides a view of the seafloor at timescales that make it possible to recognize behaviors and activity of often slow-moving abyssal fauna. Most behavioral studies have focused on mobile animals; sessile benthic fauna have largely been overlooked. We combed through 30 years...

Development and Evolution of Complex Reproductive Traits in the Brassicaceae and Cleomaceae
DownloadSpring 2023
Flowering plants exhibit a bewildering diversity of forms, which raises fundamental questions on how that diversity arises. A cornerstone of evolutionary developmental biology is the expansion of comparative landscapes and establishment of focal clades that enable investigation of complex and...

Development, Anatomy, and Phylogenetic Relationships of Jawless Vertebrates and Tests of Hypotheses about Early Vertebrate Evolution
DownloadSpring 2018
The origin and early evolution of vertebrates remain one of the central questions of comparative biology. This clade, which features a breathtaking diversity of complex forms, has generated profound, unresolved questions, including: How are major lineages of vertebrates related to one another?...

Different scales of spatial segregation of two species of feather mites on the wings of a passerine bird
Download2011
Mestre, A., Mesquita-Joanes, F., Proctor, H., Monros, J. S.
The \"condition-specific competition hypothesis\" proposes that coexistence of 2 species is possible when spatial or temporal variations in environmental conditions exist and each species responds differently to those conditions. The distribution of different species of feather mites on their...

Suspension feeders are an important component of carbon exchange between the water column and the seafloor, a process called pelagic-benthic coupling. Sponges (Phylum Porifera) are filter feeders that consume especially small particles. They eat bacteria, which are inaccessible to most other...

Samson, J. C., Rankin, Robert, Wei, C. Q., Frycz, P.
A three-dimensional compressible resistive magnetohydrodynamic simulation code, with inclusion of the fully generalized Ohm's law, has been developed to study the nonlinear evolution of field line resonances in Earth's magnetosphere. A simple Cartesian box model of an inhomogeneous plasma with...

Turkakin, Hava, Rankin, Robert, Mann, Ian R.
The emission of propagating MHD waves from the boundaries of flow channels that are unstable to the Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability (KHI) in magnetized plasma is investigated. The KHI and MHD wave emission are found to be two competing processes. It is shown that the fastest growing modes of the KHI...
