Influence of snow cover on albedo reduction by snow algae by Pablo Almela, James J. Elser, J. Joseph Giersch, Scott Hotaling, Trinity L. Hamilton

“…Here, we examined the impact of subsurface snow algae on surface energy absorption by adding up to 2 cm of clean snow to surface algal blooms and measuring reflectivity. Surprisingly, snow algae still absorb significant energy across an array of wavelengths when snow-covered. …”

The DnaJ-Hsp70-Hsp90 co-chaperon networks in scallops under toxic Alexandrium dinoflagellates exposure by Moli Li, Jie Cheng, Huizhen Wang, Jiaoxia Shi, Xiaogang Xun, Wei Lu, Xubo Wang, Jingjie Hu, Zhenmin Bao, Xiaoli Hu

“…Marine bivalves could accumulate and tolerate paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs), the well-noted neurotoxins generated during harmful algal blooms. Here, 37 CfDnaJ and 35 PyDnaJ genes were systematically characterized in Zhikong scallop (Chlamys farreri) and Yesso scallop (Patinopecten yessoensis), the important aquaculture bivalve species in China. …”
