Diagenetic isotope exchange in biocalcites for paleoclimate reconstruction

Deyanira Graciela Cisneros Lazaro

The oxygen isotope compositions of fossil biocalcites, such as foraminifera, bivalves, brachiopods, and belemnites have allowed for reconstructions of sea surface and deep ocean temperatures throughout the Phanerozoic and constitute the most important reco ...

Periodic and Aperiodic NiFe Nanomagnet/Ferrimagnet Hybrid Structures for 2D Magnon Steering and Interferometry with High Extinction Ratio

Dirk Grundler, Sho Watanabe, Andrea Mucchietto, Shixuan Shan, Elif Nur Dayi, Vinayak Shantaram Bhat

Magnons, quanta of spin waves, are known to enable information processing with low power consumption at the nanoscale. So far, however, experimentally realized half-adders, wave-logic and binary output operations were based on few µm-long spin waves and re ...

A landmark environmental law looks ahead

Devis Tuia

In late December 1973, the United States enacted what some would come to call “the pitbull of environmental laws.” In the 50 years since, the formidable regulatory teeth of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) have been credited with considerable successes, ob ...

Thermal Stress Interacts With Surgeonfish Feces to Increase Coral Susceptibility to Dysbiosis and Reduce Tissue Regeneration

Leïla Ezzat

Dysbiosis of coral microbiomes results from various biotic and environmental stressors, including interactions with important reef fishes which may act as vectors of opportunistic microbes via deposition of fecal material. Additionally, elevated sea surfac ...

A birth-death-migration model for life in astrophysical environments

Claudio Grimaldi

To assess the number of life-bearing worlds in astrophysical environments, it is necessary to take the intertwined processes of abiogenesis (birth), extinction (death), and transfer of life (migration) into account. We construct a mathematical model that i ...

Distributed and dynamic strain sensing with high spatial resolution and large measurable strain range

Luc Thévenaz, Zhisheng Yang, Li Zhang, Malak Mohamed Hossameldeen Omar Mohamed Galal

A distributed and dynamic strain sensing system based on frequency-scanning phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry is proposed and demonstrated. By utilizing an RF pulse scheme with a fast arbitrary waveform generator, a train of optical pulses ...

Microlensing Analysis for the Gravitational Lens Systems SDSS0924+0219, Q1355-2257, and SDSS1029+2623

Karina Alexandra Rojas Olate

We use spectroscopic observations of the gravitationally lensed systems SDSS0924+0219(BC), Q1355-2257(AB), and SDSS1029+2623(BC) to analyze microlensing and dust extinction in the observed components. We detect chromatic microlensing effects in the continu ...

Silicon Photonic Broadband Suspended Directional Coupler

Niels Quack, Alain Yuji Takabayashi, Hamed Sattari, Yu Zhang

We demonstrate a broadband Silicon Photonic directional coupler that is entirely suspended in air. The device has been fabricated in a simplified Silicon Photonics process based on the standard IMEC ISIPP5OG platform, combined with custom post-processing i ...

A pathwise approach to the extinction of branching processes with countably many types

Sophie Myriam Hautphenne

We consider the extinction events of Galton-Watson processes with countably infinitely many types. In particular, we construct truncated and augmented Galton-Watson processes with finite but increasing sets of types. A pathwise approach is then used to sho ...

Dispersal limitations and historical factors determine the biogeography of specialized terrestrial protists

Luca Bragazza, Enrique Lara

Recent studies show that soil eukaryotic diversity is immense and dominated by micro-organisms. However, it is unclear to what extent the processes that shape the distribution of diversity in plants and animals also apply to micro-organisms. Major diversif ...

On the probabilistic nature of the species-area relation

Andrea Rinaldo, Amos Maritan, Andrea Giometto, Jonathan Giezendanner, Silvia Zaoli

The Species-Area Relation (SAR), which describes the increase in the number of species S with increasing area A, is under intense scrutiny in contemporary ecology, in particular to probe its reliability in predicting the number of species going extinct as ...

Surviving anoxia in marine sediments: The metabolic response of ubiquitous benthic foraminifera (Ammonia tepida)

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Emmanuelle Geslin, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre

High input of organic carbon and/or slowly renewing bottom waters frequently create periods with low dissolved oxygen concentrations on continental shelves and in coastal areas; such events can have strong impacts on benthic ecosystems. Among the meiofauna ...

Two sides of the same coin: A population genetics perspective on lethal mutagenesis and mutational meltdown

Jeffrey David Jensen, Claudia Bank, Sebastian Matuszewski, Nicky Louise Ormond

The extinction of RNA virus populations upon application of a mutagenic drug is frequently referred to as evidence for the existence of an error threshold, above which the population cannot sustain the mutational load. To explain the extinction process aft ...

Exponential extinction time of the contact process on finite graphs

Thomas Mountford, Jean-Christophe Mourrat, Daniel Rodrigues Valesin

We study the extinction time tau of the contact process started with full occupancy on finite trees of bounded degree. We show that, if the infection rate is larger than the critical rate for the contact process on Z, then, uniformly over all trees of degr ...

Aragonitic scleractinian corals in the Cretaceous calcitic sea

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski

Changes in seawater chemistry have affected the evolution of calcifying marine organisms, including their skeletal polymorph (calcite versus aragonite), which is believed to have been strongly influenced by the Mg/Ca ratio at the time these animals first e ...

Uranium Isotopes Fingerprint Biotic Reduction

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Yuheng Wang, Malgorzata Alicja Stylo

Knowledge of paleo-redox conditions in the Earth's history provides a window into events that shaped the evolution of life on our planet. The role of microbial activity in paleo-redox processes remains unexplored due to the inability to discriminate biotic ...
