DOI: 10.1007/s10021-019-00427-0
Abstract: A central goal of benthic ecology is to describe the pathways and quantities of energy and material flow in seafloor communities over different spatial and temporal scales. We examined the relative macrobenthic contribution to the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.fooweb.2019.e00130
Abstract: Abstract Global mean temperature is increasing; however, when evaluated on a local scale, much of the documented warming is happening asymmetrically, with temperatures increasing either during the day or at night. Yet, most experimental studies… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.estlett.8b00143
Abstract: Marine hydrocarbon biodegradation is an important environmental process conducted by microbes and modulated by oceanographic conditions. Following up on the patterns of petroleum hydrocarbon biodegradation observed after the Deepwater Horizon disaster, we measured respiration rates… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.13906
Abstract: Rising temperatures and nutrient enrichment are co-occurring global-change drivers that stimulate microbial respiration of detrital carbon, but nutrient effects on the temperature dependence of respiration in aquatic ecosystems remain uncertain. We measured respiration rates associated… read more here.
