Temperature lance sticking horizontally between mussels and sediment at the sea floor. Sample interval: 60 sec; Temperature absolute accuracy +/- 0.1°C; Temperature resolution <0.001°C. Self constructed 8 thermistor temperature lance with Brancker RBR 420-T8 # 10296 data logger. 5 m south of the MTL array in the musselfield.

The late Miocene carbon shift (~6.2 Myr) -a 0.5-1.0 per mil, d13C decrease in benthic and planktonic foraminifera- has been ascribed to changes in global inventory, deep-ocean circulation, and/or productivity. Cadmium, d13C, and nutrients in the ocean are linked; comparison of d13C and Cd/Ca yields circulation and chemical inventory information not available from either alone. We determined Cd/Ca ratios in late Miocene benthic foraminifera from DSDP Site 289. Results include: (1) late Miocene Pacific Cd/Ca...

Life cycle characteristics and habitat processes can potentially interact to determine gene flow and genetic structuring of parasitic species. In this comparative study, we analysed the genetic structure of two freshwater trematode species with different life histories using cytochrome c oxidase I gene (COI) sequences and examined the effect of a unidirectional river current on their genetic diversity at 10 sites along the river. We found moderate genetic structure consistent with an isolation by distance...

Although homoploid hybrid speciation in plants is probably more common than previously realized, there are few well-documented cases of homoploid hybrid origin in conifers. We examined genetic divergence between two currently widespread pines in northeast China, Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica and P. densiflora, and also whether two narrowly distributed pines in the same region, P. funebris and P. takahasii, might have originated from the two widespread species by homoploid hybrid speciation. Our results, based on...
