Marine pelagic ecosystems: the west Antarctic Peninsula.
The marine ecosystem of the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) extends from the Bellingshausen Sea to the northern tip of the peninsula and from the mostly glaciated coast across the continental shelf to the shelf break in the west. The glacially sculpted coastline along the peninsula is highly convoluted and characterized by deep embayments that are often interconnected by channels that facilitate...
متن کاملOverall energy conversion efficiency of a photosynthetic vesicle
The chromatophore of purple bacteria is an intracellular spherical vesicle that exists in numerous copies in the cell and that efficiently converts sunlight into ATP synthesis, operating typically under low light conditions. Building on an atomic-level structural model of a low-light-adapted chromatophore vesicle from Rhodobacter sphaeroides, we investigate the cooperation between more than a h...

متن کاملFoundations for Ecological Research West of Tiie Antarctic Peninsula
The horizontal and vertical distributions of selected taxa that dcminate the pelagic zooplankton com· munity (> 0.2 mm) within the Palmer Loog-Tenn Ecological Research (LTFR) ItUdy region are described. In addition to a synthesis of existing published descriptions for euphawiids, saIps, and copepods, two newly available datasets are analyud . Recent observations (1991-1994) obtained as part of ...
متن کاملWhat limits photosynthetic energy conversion efficiency in nature? Lessons from the oceans.
Constraining photosynthetic energy conversion efficiency in nature is challenging. In principle, two yield measurements must be made simultaneously: photochemistry, fluorescence and/or thermal dissipation. We constructed two different, extremely sensitive and precise active fluorometers: one measures the quantum yield of photochemistry from changes in variable fluorescence, the other measures f...
