Abundance And Diversity Of Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaea And Bacteria In Sediments Of Trophic End Members Of The Laurentian Great Lakes, Erie And Superior, Annette Bollmann, George S. Bullerjahn, Robert Michael Mckay
Abundance And Diversity Of Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaea And Bacteria In Sediments Of Trophic End Members Of The Laurentian Great Lakes, Erie And Superior, Annette Bollmann, George S. Bullerjahn, Robert Michael Mckay

Ammonia oxidation is the first step of nitrification carried out by ammonia-oxidizing Archaea (AOA) and Bacteria (AOB). Lake Superior and Erie are part of the Great Lakes system differing in trophic status with Lake Superior being oligotrophic and Lake Erie meso- to eutrophic. Sediment samples were collected from both lakes and used to characterize abundance and diversity of AOA and AOB based on the ammonia monooxygenase (amoA) gene. Diversity was accessed by a pyro-sequencing approach and the obtained sequences were used to determine the phylogeny and alpha and beta diversity of the AOA and AOB populations. In Lake Erie copy …
Spatial Variability In Iron Nutritional Status Of Large Diatoms In The Sea Of Okhotsk With Special Reference To The Amur River Discharge, K. Suzuki, A. Hattori-Saito, Y. Sekiguchi, J. Nishioka, M. Shigemitsu, T. Isada, H. Liu, R. M.L. Mckay
Spatial Variability In Iron Nutritional Status Of Large Diatoms In The Sea Of Okhotsk With Special Reference To The Amur River Discharge, K. Suzuki, A. Hattori-Saito, Y. Sekiguchi, J. Nishioka, M. Shigemitsu, T. Isada, H. Liu, R. M.L. Mckay

The Sea of Okhotsk is known as one of the most biologically productive regions among the world's oceans, and its productivity is supported in part by the discharge of iron (Fe)-rich water from the Amur River. However, little is known about the effect of riverine-derived Fe input on the physiology of the large diatoms which often flourish in surface waters of the productive continental shelf region. We conducted diatom-specific immunochemical ferredoxin (Fd) and flavodoxin (Fld) assays in order to investigate the spatial variability of Fe nutritional status in the microplankton-sized (20-200 1/4m; hereafter micro-sized) diatoms. The Fd index, defined as …
Molecular Analyses Of Microbial Abundance And Diversity In The Water Column Of Anchialine Caves In Mallorca, Spain, Damian Menning, Liana M. Boop, Elaina D. Graham, James R. Garey
Molecular Analyses Of Microbial Abundance And Diversity In The Water Column Of Anchialine Caves In Mallorca, Spain, Damian Menning, Liana M. Boop, Elaina D. Graham, James R. Garey
International Journal of Speleology
Water column samples from the island of Mallorca, Spain were collected from one site in Cova des Pas de Vallgornera (Vallgornera) and three sites (Llac Martel, Llac Negre, and Llac de les Delícies) in Coves del Drac (Drac). Vallgornera is located on the southern coast of Mallorca approximately 57 km southwest of Coves del Drac. Drac is Europe's most visited tourist cave, whereas Vallgornera is closed to the public. Water samples were analyzed for water chemistry using spectrophotometric methods, by quantitative PCR for estimated total abundance of microbial communities, and by length heterogeneity PCR for species richness and relative species …
Distribution Of Fish Species In Cedar Lake, David Dombrowski, Katherine Guffey, Brittany Hayes, Mark A. Gathany
Distribution Of Fish Species In Cedar Lake, David Dombrowski, Katherine Guffey, Brittany Hayes, Mark A. Gathany
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
With over 13,000 described species of freshwater fishes, diversity within aquatic systems can vary extensively. At the local scale small changes in the diversity of fish species within an ecosystem will modify processes within the ecosystem such as community decomposition and metabolism. Recent analyses indicate that actual species diversity within small, shallow ponds may be higher than previously thought. Fish species distribution will differ based on location within the aquatic system relative to the species’ position in the trophic web. We will measure both quantitative and qualitative differences among species at different locations within of Cedar Lake, expecting to find …
The Last Frontier: Catch Records Of White Sharks (Carcharodon Carcharias) In The Northwest Pacific Ocean, Heather M. Christianson, Victor Lin, Sho Tanaka, Anatoly Velikanov, Henry F. Mollet, Sabine T. Wintner, Sonja V. Fordham, Aaron T. Fisk, Nigel E. Hussey
The Last Frontier: Catch Records Of White Sharks (Carcharodon Carcharias) In The Northwest Pacific Ocean, Heather M. Christianson, Victor Lin, Sho Tanaka, Anatoly Velikanov, Henry F. Mollet, Sabine T. Wintner, Sonja V. Fordham, Aaron T. Fisk, Nigel E. Hussey
Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research Publications
White sharks are highly migratory apex predators, globally distributed in temperate, sub-tropical, and tropical waters. Knowledge of white shark biology and ecology has increased recently based on research at known aggregation sites in the Indian, Atlantic, and Northeast Pacific Oceans; however, few data are available for the Northwest Pacific Ocean. This study provides a meta-analysis of 240 observations of white sharks from the Northwest Pacific Ocean between 1951 and 2012. Records comprise reports of bycatch in commercial fisheries, media accounts, personal communications, and documentation of shark-human interactions from Russia (n = 8), Republic of Korea (22), Japan (129), China (32), …
Seasonal Changes In Microbial Community Structure And Activity Imply Winter Production Is Linked To Summer Hypoxia In A Large Lake, Steven W. Wilhelm, Gary R. Lecleir, George S. Bullerjahn, Robert M. Mckay, Matthew A. Saxton, Michael R. Twiss, Richard A. Bourbonniere

Carbon and nutrient cycles in large temperate lakes such as Lake Erie are primarily driven by phototrophic and heterotrophic microorganisms, although our understanding of these is often constrained to late spring through summer due to logistical constraints. During periods of > 90% ice cover in February of 2008, 2009, and 2010, we collected samples from an icebreaker for an examination of bacterial production as well as microbial community structure. In comparison with summer months (August 2002 and 2010), we tested hypotheses concerning seasonal changes in microbial community diversity and production. Bacterial production estimates were c. 2 orders of magnitude higher (volume …
Molecular Phylogenetic Relationships Of North American Dermacentor Ticks Using Mitochondrial Gene Sequences, Kayla L. Perry
Molecular Phylogenetic Relationships Of North American Dermacentor Ticks Using Mitochondrial Gene Sequences, Kayla L. Perry
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Dermacentor is a recently evolved genus of hard ticks (Family Ixodiae) that includes 36 known species worldwide. Despite the importance of Dermacentor species as vectors of human and animal disease, the systematics of the genus remain largely unresolved. This study focuses on phylogenetic relationships of the eight North American Nearctic Dermacentor species: D. albipictus, D. variabilis, D. occidentalis, D. halli, D. parumapertus, D. hunteri, and D. andersoni, and the recently re-established species D. kamshadalus, as well as two of the Neotropical Dermacentor species D. nitens and D. dissimilis (both formerly Anocentor). We sequenced portions of the mitochondrial …
