Archaea have evolved to survive in some of the most extreme environments on earth. Life in extreme, nutrient-poor conditions gives the opportunity to probe fundamental energy limitations on movement and response to stimuli, two essential markers of living systems. Here we use three-dimensional holographic microscopy and computer simulations to reve...

Great Salt Lake (GSL), Utah, is the largest lake in the Great Basin and one of the primary migratory stops for many species of birds in North America. Located at Rozel Point, on the north arm of the lake, are natural tar seeps that have formed on the former lake bed resulting from the migration of oil to the surface along fault lines. Once the petr...
Chapter
Terminal lakes are highly susceptible to climate change impacts since water that enters through precipitation, runoff, and groundwater must be balanced with water that leaves through evaporation. A change in this equation can lead to a decline in elevation, which can be tragic for the ecosystem, particularly if the closed basin is shallow. Great Sa...
Chapter
Great Salt Lake (GSL) is recognized as a site of “Hemispheric Importance” for shorebirds by the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network. An estimated ten million birds visit GSL every year for breeding, staging, and for some species, as a wintering destination. American white pelicans (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) rely on GSL for both breeding a...

Great Salt Lake is an enormous terminal lake in the western United States. It is a highly productive ecosystem, which has global significance for millions of migrating birds who rely on this critical feeding station on their journey through the American west. For the human population in the adjacent metropolitan area, this body of water provides a...

Halophilic archaea inhabit hypersaline ecosystems globally, and genetically similar strains have been found in locales that are geographically isolated from one another. We sought to test the hypothesis that small salt crystals harboring halophilic archaea could be carried on bird feathers and that bird migration is a driving force of these distrib...
Chapter
Scientists are accused of being myopic-of studying one tiny corner of the natural world for decades. Perhaps microbiologists, who study the tiniest life, are most guilty of this view. The research is important, and such in-depth study provides a strong foundation on which many can build, but the impact of what you do outside the research may be equ...
