Copepod Feeding Strategy Determines Response To Seawater Viscosity: Videography Study Of Two Calanoid Copepod Species, Abigail Tyrell

SoMAS Research Data

Calanoid copepods, depending on feeding strategy, have different behavioral and biological controls on their movements, thereby responding differently to environmental conditions such as changes in seawater viscosity. To understand how copepod responses to environmental conditions are mediated through physical, physiological, and/or behavioral pathways, we used high-speed microvideography to compare two copepod species, Acartia hudsonica and Parvocalanus crassirostris, under different temperature, viscosity, and dietary conditions. Acartia hudsonica exhibited “sink and wait” feeding behavior and typically responded to changes in seawater viscosity; increased seawater viscosity reduced particle-capture behavior and decreased the size of the feeding current. In contrast, P. crassirostris continuously …

Data For Paper "Separating Thermal And Viscous Effects Of Temperature On Copepod Respiration And Energy Budget", Abigail Tyrell, Nicholas Fisher, David Fields

SoMAS Research Data

Changes in temperature alter the viscosity of fluids, which impacts the force needed to move and the diffusion rates of gases. This is particularly salient for organisms that operate at mid to low Reynolds numbers. In this study, we investigated the independent effects of changes in temperature and viscosity on oxygen consumption rates of two coastal copepods (Acartia tonsa and Parvocalanus crassirostris) and used bioenergetic models to predict how these patterns could influence copepods in the natural environment. We found that only temperature influenced copepod oxygen consumption rates, indicating that copepods were not impacted by reduced oxygen diffusivity …

Multi-Doppler Radar Wind Retrieval Data For Deep Convective Clouds Observed In The Southern Great Plains On May 11, 2011, Mariko Oue, Kirk North, Andrea Neumann

SoMAS Research Data

The US Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program’s Southern Great Plains (SGP) site includes a heterogeneous distributed scanning Doppler radar network suitable for collecting coordinated Doppler velocity measurements in deep convective clouds. The surrounding National Weather Service (NWS) Next Generation Weather Surveillance Radar 1988 Doppler (NEXRAD WSR-88D) further supplements this network. The multi-Doppler radar reflectivity and velocity measurements are assimilated in a three-dimensional variational (3DVAR) algorithm to retrieve horizontal and vertical air motions in deep convective clouds. The data includes the 3D wind fields retrieved over a large analysis domain (100 km x 100 km) at storm-scale …

Evolutionary Origins, Regulation, And Function Of Carotenoid Biosynthesis In The Marine Heterotrophic Eukaryote, Aurantiochytrium Limacinum, Mariana Rius

SoMAS Research Data

Thraustochytrids are abundant and ubiquitous marine protists that are important in global elemental cycling and in supporting oceanic food webs through de novo omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid production. Thraustochytrids are also one of few heterotrophic eukaryotes with the capacity to synthesize carotenoids, a class of antioxidative pigments made up of carotenes (e.g., β-carotene) and xanthophylls (e.g., astaxanthin). Heterotrophic production of carotenoids is typically associated with protection against oxidative stress, yet the eco-physiological role and evolutionary origin of thraustochytrid carotenoid production remain elusive. A. limacinum encodes the first three carotenoid biosynthesis-specific enzymes (phytoene synthase, phytoene desaturase, and lycopene cyclase) in a …
