Internal gravity waves, the subsurface analogue of the familiar
surface gravity waves that break on beaches, are ubiquitous in
the ocean. Because of their strong vertical and horizontal currents,
and the turbulent mixing caused by their breaking,...

The dynamic nature of biological hotspots, while well recognized, is not well understood. We hypothesize that
the persistence of hotspots in the northern California Current System (CCS), despite seasonal and annual changes
in the nekton community...

Flax seed is a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Feeding broiler birds
flax seed can increase n-3 fatty acids (FA) in meat tissues and can increase
human intake of n-3 FA. However, non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) in flax seed
decrease...
