TL;DR: The first 4 years of SeaWiFS ocean color data (September 1997-August 2001) provide the first synoptic quantification of seasonal and interannual phytoplankton chlorophyll variability in the Gulf of Maine as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The Glacial deposits in North-West Europe as mentioned in this paper is a detailed assessment of the glacial deposits of Britain and Ireland, which includes 368 figures, 40 tables and 51 colour photographs, a detailed index and a list of over 1000 references.
Abstract: With the increasing awareness of environmental problems, there is a growing desire for a de--tailed understanding of superficial deposits in general, and glacial deposits in particular. This is because these sediments have a profound influence on groundwater protection, waste management and nature conservation. They are also of vital importance to civil engineering, because they provide the foundation for, as well as the materials extracted to build our roads and buildings. The greater part of the British Isles was glaciated, at least once, during the Quater--nary Era. In the regions subjected to glaciation, glacial deposits underlie much of the present land surface. Although there have been many recent publica--tions on various Quaternary geological topics, the present volume is the first dedicated to a detailed assessment of the glacial deposits of Britain and Ireland. After introductory chapters presenting the glacial history, the sedimentary sequences in 24 critical regions are discussed. These regions include all of Ireland, the gla--ciated area of Great Britain, and the adjoining offshore region of the North Sea. The controver--sial evolution of the Irish Sea Basin during the Last Glaciation is discussed from various view--points. A collection of 'critical topics' presented in the later part of the book range from the classification of glacigenic landforms and de--posits to the results of geophysical, geotechnical and geochemical analyses. The book includes 368 figures, 40 tables and 51 colour photographs, a detailed index and a list of over 1000 references. With 45 contributions by 48 scientists, this volume represents a truly contemporary view of this field of research. To--gether with its companion volume the Glacial deposits in North-West Europe, this book pro--vides an excellent textbook for the advanced student or the amateur, as well as an indispen--sible source- and guidebook for the professional scientist.

TL;DR: It is found that plant range sizes are codetermined by habitat area and long- and short-term climate stability, and the joint roles of area and climate stability strengthen concerns over the potential effects of future climate change and habitat loss on biodiversity.
Abstract: Despite being a fundamental aspect of biodiversity, little is known about what controls species range sizes. This is especially the case for hyperdiverse organisms such as plants. We use the largest botanical data set assembled to date to quantify geographical variation in range size for ~ 85 000 plant species across the New World. We assess prominent hypothesised range-size controls, finding that plant range sizes are codetermined by habitat area and long- and short-term climate stability. Strong short- and long-term climate instability in large parts of North America, including past glaciations, are associated with broad-ranged species. In contrast, small habitat areas and a stable climate characterise areas with high concentrations of small-ranged species in the Andes, Central America and the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest region. The joint roles of area and climate stability strengthen concerns over the potential effects of future climate change and habitat loss on biodiversity.

TL;DR: A circulating-flow piezoelectric biosensor, based on an Au nanoparticle amplification and verification method, was used for real-time detection of a foodborne pathogen, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and was able to detect targets from real food samples.
