    Unusual marine unicellular symbiosis with the nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium UCYN-A (2016)
    Springer Nature
    In:  Nature Microbiology, 2 (16214).
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-06-24
    Description: Nitrogen fixation — the reduction of dinitrogen (N2) gas to biologically available nitrogen (N) — is an important source of N for terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. In terrestrial environments, N2-fixing symbioses involve multicellular plants, but in the marine environment these symbioses occur with unicellular planktonic algae. An unusual symbiosis between an uncultivated unicellular cyanobacterium (UCYN-A) and a haptophyte picoplankton alga was recently discovered in oligotrophic oceans. UCYN-A has a highly reduced genome, and exchanges fixed N for fixed carbon with its host. This symbiosis bears some resemblance to symbioses found in freshwater ecosystems. UCYN-A shares many core genes with the 'spheroid bodies' of Epithemia turgida and the endosymbionts of the amoeba Paulinella chromatophora. UCYN-A is widely distributed, and has diversified into a number of sublineages that could be ecotypes. Many questions remain regarding the physical and genetic mechanisms of the association, but UCYN-A is an intriguing model for contemplating the evolution of N2-fixing organelles.

    The 2011-2012 unrest at Santorini rift: Stress interaction between active faulting and volcanism (2013)
    American Geophysical Union (AGU)
    In:  Geophysical Research Letters, 40 (14). pp. 3532-3537.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-07-30
    Description: At Santorini, active normal faulting controls the emission of volcanic products. Such geometry has implication on seismic activity around the plumbing system during unrest. Static Coulomb stress changes induced by the 2011–2012 inflation within a preexisting NW-SE extensional regional stress field, compatible with fault geometry, increased by more than 0.5MPa in an ellipsoid-shaped zone beneath the Minoan caldera where almost all earthquakes (96%) have occurred since beginning of unrest. Magmatic processes perturb the regional stress in the caldera where strike-slip rather than normal faulting along NE-SW striking planes are expected. The inflation may have also promoted more distant moderate earthquakes on neighboring faults as the M〉5 January 2012, south of Christiania. Santorini belongs to a set of en echelon NE-SW striking rifts (Milos, Nysiros) oblique to the Aegean arc that may have initiated in the Quaternary due to propagation of the North Anatolian fault into the Southern Aegean Sea.

    A significant upper limit for the rate of formation, of OCS from the reaction of OH with CS2 (1980)
    American Geophysical Union (AGU)
    In:  Geophysical Research Letters, 7 (10). pp. 797-800.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-07-30
    Description: The rate of reaction of OH with CS2 to form OCS by reaction (1) has been measured through observation of O14CS following 254 nm equation image photolysis of mixtures of H2O2 with 14CS2. The OH concentrations have been monitored through simultaneous measurement in the same cell of either (a) the oxidation of CO to CO2, or (b) the removal of a hydrocarbon such as C3H8 or iso-C4H10. The upper limit for the formation of OCS based on (a) corresponds to a rate constant k1 〈 0.3 × 10−14 cm³ molecule−1 sec−1. Other chemical reactions in the system have led to the formation of both 14CO and 14CO2, indicating the existence of a complex combination of reactions such that the observed O14CS need not have been formed by (1). The rate of reaction (1) is sufficiently slow that it is neither an important atmospheric sink for CS2 nor an important source for atmospheric OCS. The reaction of OH with OCS has not been measured in these experiments, but by analogy with k1 it is probably not an important atmospheric sink for OCS nor an important source of SO2.

    What genomic data can reveal about eco-evolutionary dynamics (2017)
    Springer Nature
    In:  Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2 . pp. 9-15.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-06-25
    Description: Recognition that evolution operates on the same timescale as ecological processes has motivated growing interest in eco-evolutionary dynamics. Nonetheless, generating sufficient data to test predictions about eco-evolutionary dynamics has proved challenging, particularly in natural contexts. Here we argue that genomic data can be integrated into the study of eco-evolutionary dynamics in ways that deepen our understanding of the interplay between ecology and evolution. Specifically, we outline five major questions in the study of eco-evolutionary dynamics for which genomic data may provide answers. Although genomic data alone will not be sufficient to resolve these challenges, integrating genomic data can provide a more mechanistic understanding of the causes of phenotypic change, help elucidate the mechanisms driving eco-evolutionary dynamics, and lead to more accurate evolutionary predictions of eco-evolutionary dynamics in nature.

    Open discussion of negative emissions is urgently needed (2017)
    Springer Nature
    In:  Nature Energy, 2 (12). pp. 902-904.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-06-25
    Description: Although nearly all 2 °C scenarios use negative CO2 emission technologies, only relatively small investments are being made in them, and concerns are being raised regarding their large-scale use. If no explicit policy decisions are taken soon, however, their use will simply be forced on us to meet the Paris climate targets.

    Quantitative genetics of immunity and life history under different photoperiods (2012)
    Springer Nature
    In:  Heredity, 108 (5). pp. 569-576.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-07-29
    Description: Insects with complex life-cycles should optimize age and size at maturity during larval development. When inhabiting seasonal environments, organisms have limited reproductive periods and face fundamental decisions: individuals that reach maturity late in season have to either reproduce at a small size or increase their growth rates. Increasing growth rates is costly in insects because of higher juvenile mortality, decreased adult survival or increased susceptibility to parasitism by bacteria and viruses via compromised immune function. Environmental changes such as seasonality can also alter the quantitative genetic architecture. Here, we explore the quantitative genetics of life history and immunity traits under two experimentally induced seasonal environments in the cricket Gryllus bimaculatus. Seasonality affected the life history but not the immune phenotypes. Individuals under decreasing day length developed slower and grew to a bigger size. We found ample additive genetic variance and heritability for components of immunity (haemocyte densities, proPhenoloxidase activity, resistance against Serratia marcescens), and for the life history traits, age and size at maturity. Despite genetic covariance among traits, the structure of G was inconsistent with genetically based trade-off between life history and immune traits (for example, a strong positive genetic correlation between growth rate and haemocyte density was estimated). However, conditional evolvabilities support the idea that genetic covariance structure limits the capacity of individual traits to evolve independently. We found no evidence for G × E interactions arising from the experimentally induced seasonality.

    Interactions of microplastic debris throughout the marine ecosystem (2017)
    Springer Nature
    In:  Nature Ecology & Evolution, 1 (Article number: 0116).
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-06-25
    Description: Marine microscopic plastic (microplastic) debris is a modern societal issue, illustrating the challenge of balancing the convenience of plastic in daily life with the prospect of causing ecological harm by careless disposal. Here we develop the concept of microplastic as a complex, dynamic mixture of polymers and additives, to which organic material and contaminants can successively bind to form an ‘ecocorona’, increasing the density and surface charge of particles and changing their bioavailability and toxicity. Chronic exposure to microplastic is rarely lethal, but can adversely affect individual animals, reducing feeding and depleting energy stores, with knock-on effects for fecundity and growth. We explore the extent to which ecological processes could be impacted, including altered behaviours, bioturbation and impacts on carbon flux to the deep ocean. We discuss how microplastic compares with other anthropogenic pollutants in terms of ecological risk, and consider the role of science and society in tackling this global issue in the future.

    Magnetic particle hyperthermia: nanoparticle magnetism and materials development for cancer therapy (2006)
    Institute of Physics
    In:  Journal of Physics - Condensed Matter, 18 (38). S2919-S2934.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-07-20
    Description: Loss processes in magnetic nanoparticles are discussed with respect to optimization of the specific loss power (SLP) for application in tumour hyperthermia. Several types of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles representative for different preparation methods (wet chemical precipitation, grinding, bacterial synthesis, magnetic size fractionation) are the subject of a comparative study of structural and magnetic properties. Since the specific loss power useful for hyperthermia is restricted by serious limitations of the alternating field amplitude and frequency, the effects of the latter are investigated experimentally in detail. The dependence of the SLP on the mean particle size is studied over a broad size range from superparamagnetic up to multidomain particles, and guidelines for achieving large SLP under the constraints valid for the field parameters are derived. Particles with the mean size of 18 nm having a narrow size distribution proved particularly useful. In particular, very high heating power may be delivered by bacterial magnetosomes, the best sample of which showed nearly 1 kW g−1 at 410 kHz and 10 kA m−1. This value may even be exceeded by metallic magnetic particles, as indicated by measurements on cobalt particles.
