Genome characteristics of a generalist marine bacterial lineage.

TL;DR: Findings are that members of the Roseobacter lineage cannot be easily collapsed into just a few ecologically differentiated clusters (that is, there are almost as many clusters as isolates); the strongest framework for predicting genome content is trophic strategy, but no single framework gives robust predictions; and previously unknown homologs to genes for H2 oxidation, proteorhodopsin- based phototrophy, xanthorhodpsin-based phototROphy, and CO2
Book ChapterDOI

Changes in impacts of climate extremes: Human systems and ecosystems

TL;DR: In this article, two types of impacts on human and ecological systems are examined: (i) impacts of extreme weather and climate events; and (ii) extreme impacts triggered by less-than-extreme weather or climate events (in combination with nonclimatic factors, such as high exposure and/or vulnerability).
Journal ArticleDOI

IL-12 is required for differentiation of pathogenic CD8 + T cell effectors that cause myocarditis

TL;DR: Analysis of OT-I effectors collected from a mediastinal draining lymph node indicated that only effectors primed in vitro in the presence of IL-12 proliferated in vivo, demonstrating the importance ofIL-12 in the differentiation of pathogenic CD8(+) T cells that can cause myocarditis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Saharan dust nutrients promote Vibrio bloom formation in marine surface waters

TL;DR: This study is the first to describe Vibrio response to Saharan dust nutrients, having implications at the intersection of marine ecology, Fe biogeochemistry, and both human and environmental health.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neutrophils Sustain Pathogenic CD8+ T Cell Responses in the Heart

TL;DR: Data show that granulocytic inflammation sustains CD8(+) T-cell-mediated heart disease, which has important implications for the pathogenesis and treatment of acute myocarditis and allograft rejection.
