As terrestrial leaf litter decomposes in rivers, its constituent elements follow multiple pathways.
Carbon leached as dissolved organic matter can be quickly taken up by microbes, then …

Can heritable traits in a single species affect an entire ecosystem? Recent studies show that
such traits in a common tree have predictable effects on community structure and …

… Jane Marks listened as many of us shared our personal stories with her and we realized that
yes, someone else who had not lived through … Jane Marks became the keeper of our stories. …

We examined the relative importance of litter quality and stream characteristics in determining
decomposition rate and the macroinvertebrate assemblage living on autumn‐shed leaves. …

Understanding river food webs requires distinguishing energy derived from primary production
in the river itself (autochthonous) from that produced externally (allochthonous), yet there …

Bacteria grow and transform elements at different rates, and as yet, quantifying this variation
in the environment is difficult. Determining isotope enrichment with fine taxonomic resolution …

Study of life history strategies may help predict the performance of microorganisms in nature
by organizing the complexity of microbial communities into groups of organisms with similar …

Native soil carbon (C) can be lost in response to fresh C inputs, a phenomenon observed for
decades yet still not understood. Using dual-stable isotope probing, we show that changes …

Since its introduction ten years ago, Anolis sagrei has spread over much of Grand Cayman
and is now more common in some habitats than the native anole, A. conspersus. Interspecific …

The quality of algae as food for larval Pacific treefrogs, Hyla regilla, varies among algal taxa.
Tadpole diets were manipulated in enclosures in the South Fork Eel River, northern …
