Journal ArticleDOI
The translation machinery and 70 kd heat shock protein cooperate in protein synthesis
R. John Nelson,Thomas Ziegelhoffer,Charles M. Nicolet,Margaret Werner-Washburne,Elizabeth A. Craig +4 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that cytosolic hsp70 aids in the passage of the nascent polypeptide chain through the ribosome in a manner analogous to the role played by organelle-localized hsp 70 in the transport of proteins across membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discontinuities, cross-scale patterns, and the organization of ecosystems
Kirsty L. Nash,Craig R. Allen,David G. Angeler,Chris Barichievy,Chris Barichievy,Tarsha Eason,Ahjond S. Garmestani,Nicholas A. J. Graham,Dean Granholm,Melinda G. Knutson,R. John Nelson,Magnus Nyström,Craig A. Stow,Shana M. Sundstrom +13 more
TL;DR: The conceptual framework underlying discontinuities is outlined and the evidence supporting the discontinuity hypothesis in ecological systems is reviewed, and the utility of this approach for understanding cross-scale patterns and the organization of ecosystems is explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current state and trends in Canadian Arctic marine ecosystems: II. Heterotrophic food web, pelagic-benthic coupling, and biodiversity
Gérald Darnis,Dominique Robert,Corinne Pomerleau,Heike Link,Philippe Archambault,R. John Nelson,Maxime Geoffroy,Jean-Éric Tremblay,Connie Lovejoy,Steve H. Ferguson,Brian P. V. Hunt,Louis Fortier +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the response of arctic marine ecosystems to climate warming will alter food web structure and ecosystem services provided to Northerners, and at least four key findings relating to arctic heterotrophic food web, pelagic-benthic coupling and biodiversity have emerged: Contrary to a long-standing paradigm of dormant ecosystems during the long arctic winter, major food web components showed relatively high level of winter activity, well before the spring release of ice algae and subsequent phytoplankton bloom.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current state and trends in Canadian Arctic marine ecosystems: I. Primary production
Jean-Éric Tremblay,Dominique Robert,Diana E. Varela,Connie Lovejoy,Gérald Darnis,R. John Nelson,Akash R. Sastri +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized and discussed six key findings related to primary production (PP), which determines the amount of food available to consumers in the Canadian Arctic during the International Polar Year (IPY), and showed that the response of arctic marine ecosystems to climate warming will alter the productivity and structure of the food web and the ecosystem services it provides to Northerners.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glacial biogeography of North American coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch).
TL;DR: Endemic microsatellite diversity in Alaska and on the Queen Charlotte Islands provides evidence in favour of Fraser Glaciation refugia in these regions and the loss of mitochondrial variation from south to north suggests that one of the earlier, more extensive, Pleistocene glaciations eliminated coho from its northern range.
