Journal ArticleDOI
Early bacterial and fungal colonization of leaf litter in Fossil Creek, Arizona
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined microbial communities in Fossil Creek, Arizona, USA, to elucidate effects of litter quality and abiotic habitat characteristics on early microbial colonizers of leaves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leaf-litter leachate is distinct in optical properties and bioavailability to stream heterotrophs
Adam S. Wymore,Adam S. Wymore,Zacchaeus G. Compson,William H. McDowell,Jody D. Potter,Bruce A. Hungate,Thomas G. Whitham,Jane C. Marks +7 more
TL;DR: Differences in phytochemistry among leaf types can influence stream ecosystems with respect to DOC quantity, composition, and rates of stream respiration suggest that the relationship between the chemical structure of DOC and its biogeochemistry is more complex than previously recognized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contrasting rRNA gene abundance patterns for aquatic fungi and bacteria in response to leaf-litter chemistry
Adam S. Wymore,Zacchaeus G. Compson,Cindy M. Liu,Cindy M. Liu,Lance B. Price,Thomas G. Whitham,Paul Keim,Paul Keim,Jane C. Marks +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a quantitative-polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to measure the abundance of bacterial 16S and fungal 18S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) genes and found that these groups responded differently to leaf chemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of fish in structuring invertebrates on stromatolites in Cuatro Cienegas, Mexico
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that fish predation on invertebrates controls invertebrate populations, allowing stromatolites to flourish in Cuatro Ciénegas, and that fishes may also be factors in determining algal communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulsed flows, tributary inputs, and food web structure in a highly regulated river
John L. Sabo,Mélanie Caron,Richard R. Doucett,Richard R. Doucett,Kimberly L. Dibble,Albert Ruhí,Jane C. Marks,Bruce A. Hungate,Theodore A. Kennedy +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ, USA and Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, Arizona, USA presented a study of the Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center.
