TL;DR: Labile DOC amendments stimulated bacterial production and DOC utilization, even in the absence of measurable inorganic nutrients, indicating that the bacterioplankton assemblage was initially energy limited, but did not stimulate utilization of seasonally accumulated DOC.

TL;DR: RNA sequencing is used to examine gene expression in the brain of rainbow trout after exposure to a magnetic pulse known to disrupt magnetic orientation behaviour, and results are consistent with the hypothesis that a magnetic pulses alters or damages magnetite-based receptors and/or other iron-containing structures, which are subsequently repaired or replaced through processes involving ferritin.

TL;DR: It is argued that the cuttlefish pay more attention to the bottom of the Holodeck because it is closer and thus more relevant for camouflage, suggesting that S. officinalis responds more strongly to the patterns displayed on the bottom than the sides of the tank.

TL;DR: Compared with controls, a magnetic pulse can induce orientation behavior in juvenile rainbow trout on a specific experimental day and suggests that solar activity may impact magnetic orientation and researchers should be cognizant of its potential consequences on studies of magnetoreception.

TL;DR: The results suggest either that magnetite-based magnetoreceptors in trout are not located in the retina, or else that they are unaffected by magnetic pulses that can disrupt magnetic orientation behaviour in animals.
