Understanding the processes that regulate phytoplankton biomass and growth rate remains one of the central issues for biological oceanography. While the role of resources in phytoplankton regulation… (More)
Neocalanus cristatus feeding on phytoplankton and microzooplankton was measured in the coastal Gulf of Alaska during spring and early summer of 2001 and 2003. Neocalanus cristatus CV fed primarily on… (More)
Examples of chemical defenses and their influence on predator–prey interactions abound in the terrestrial and marine benthic ecological literature. In contrast, considerably less is known about the… (More)
location and bathymetry that supply water from the outer shelf and slope that is replete with dissolved and planktonic material. We highlight temporal variability in this domain and place this in the… (More)
Heterosigma akashiwo is a fish-killing raphidophyte capable of forming dense blooms. Since microzooplankton consume a large fraction of coastal phytoplankton production and readily ingest cells in… (More)
In this study, the hypothesis that Emiliania huxleyi, a cosmopolitan, bloom-forming coccolithophorid, produces chemical defenses against protist grazers was tested using four axenic strains of the… (More)
BACKGROUND
Each year more than 4 million children experience significant levels of preoperative anxiety, which has been linked to poor recovery outcomes. Healthcare providers (HCPs) and parents… (More)
Two naturally occurring dinoflagellates, the autotrophic Prorocentrum micans and the hcterotrophic Noctiluca scintilldns (non-bioluminescent), ,ind the green alga Dunaliella tertiolecta were tested… (More)
BACKGROUND
The perioperative surgical home model highlights the need for trainees to include modalities that are focused on the entire perioperative experience. The focus of this study was to design,… (More)
PURPOSE OF REVIEW
Preparation for and induction of anesthesia in children has evolved significantly over the last decade, with particular reference to the reduction of perioperative anxiety reduction… (More)
