Optical spectra of conjugated gold nano-colloids; Scattering cross section and effects of solvent and polydispersity by Ehsan Koushki, Hamid Akherat Doost

“…The refractive index of the mixed solvent was investigated at different percentages of alcohol and at different temperatures. The effect of these factors on the absorption peak which is a result of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) was investigated and it was observed that increasing the refractive index of the solvent (by adding alcohol) can lead to red-shift of the plasmonic peak and the overall increase in the refractive index. …”

Herbivore functions in the hot-seat: Resilience of Acanthurus triostegus to marine heatwaves. by Taylor Souza, Jeroen Brijs, Leon Tran, Larry Crowder, Jacob L Johansen

“…Here we evaluate the consequences of thermal stress on the capacity of a common herbivorous coral reef fish (Acanthurus triostegus) to control finely filamentous matrices of Caulerpa sertularioides and C. verticillata algae in Hawai'i, by characterizing in-vivo changes in metabolic demands, diurnal foraging rates, activity patterns and individual condition in a laboratory setting during winter (24.0±0.1°C), summer (27.5±0.1°C), and at the peak of a representative marine heatwave, (31.0±0.1°C). Rising temperatures caused significant increases in standard metabolic rate (from ~135 O2 kg-1 h-1 in winter to 224 O2 kg-1 h-1 at the peak of a marine heatwave), but not in the proportion of time spent active (~83-96%) or foraging (~2.4 bites min-1). …”
