Bacterial growth efficiency in natural aquatic systems. Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, 29, 503–541. 10.1146/annurev.ecolsys.29.1.503 I found this a compelling slow burner, very much character focused but with a truly interesting and intriguing storyline that I was desperate to find out who murdered Rosalind. I was pleasantly surprised at the ending which fit perfect and came together seamlessly. Increased carbon transport in the Hudson River: Unexpected consequence of nitrogen deposition? Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 3, 133–137. 10.1890/1540-9295(2005)003[0133:ICTITH]2.0.CO;2 Chemodiversity of dissolved organic matter in lakes driven by climate and hydrology. Nature Communications, 5, 3804 The setting is well constructed, it takes place around Christmas time in the sizzling, hot Aussie summers. For those of us who live well-above the equator, Christmas time is associated with cold winters and the author's descriptions kept reminding me of the different setting, I felt I was there and loved it.
reflective pool that mirrors the teenage angst and plenty of underage boozing conjoined with adult complexities and emotions. Responses of microbial food web to increased allochthonous DOM in an oligotrophic subarctic lake. Aquatic Microbial Ecology, 68, 171–184. 10.3354/ame01614 Links between bacterial production, amino‐acid utilization and community composition in productive lakes. The ISME Journal, 1, 532–544. 10.1038/ismej.2007.64 This is an Australian crime novel set in a small town in New South Wales during a particularly trying summer. As with any small town, everyone knows everyone, though there are plenty of secrets. The murder of a local girl forces everyone's business under the microscope, and this novel is as much about those secrets as it is about solving the mystery of who killed Rosalind Ryan.
Other Places Named Dark Lake
A debut novel set in a small Australian town, The Dark Lake is a police procedural with a hefty dose of romantic tension. Our results add to the growing evidence that terrestrially derived OM is not recalcitrant (Judd et al., 2006; Kellerman, Dittmar, Kothawala, & Tranvik, 2014; Kritzberg, Langenheder, & Lindstrom, 2006; McCallister & del Giorgio, 2012; Roiha et al., 2016). Rather, t‐OM can undergo photo‐induced transformations and be degraded by EEAs, leading to CO 2 production in lake sediments (Karlsson et al., 2012). Although bacterial activity was not directly stimulated by aromatic OM, it was relatively higher in lake sediments dominated by aromatic OM, thereby suggesting that the terrestrially sourced fraction of DOM is relatively bioavailable and has a potentially high turn‐over rate (Karlsson et al., 2009; Kleber et al., 2011). These findings challenge the paradigm that t‐OM is highly degraded, recalcitrant, and otherwise unavailable to microbial degradation due to its chemical composition (Judd et al., 2007; McCallister & del Giorgio, 2012; Sollins, Homann, & Caldwell, 1996; Zwart et al., 2016). Consequently, we suggest that t‐OM inputs to lakes will not remain unchanged in lake sediments, but will be altered by microorganisms and photo‐processes, which may change carbon budgets and/or transfer heterotrophic productivity to higher trophic levels (Cole, Caraco, Kling, & Kratz, 1994; Forsström, Roiha, & Rautio, 2013; McCallister & del Giorgio, 2012; Tanentzap et al., 2014). More broadly, our results advance previous work by showing how the fate of t‐OM in lake sediments will ultimately depend on local environmental conditions and the bacterial community's genetic potential to degrade different OM qualities. Carbon: Phosphorus stoichiometry and food chain production. Ecology Letters, 1, 146–150. 10.1046/j.1461-0248.1998.00030.x I listened to the audiobook and I loved that the narrator was Australian, as it really immersed me into the setting. Kate Hosking was also great at various voices, and made the listening experience really enjoyable.
That way I start to feel it and it becomes more visceral. I consider the emotion first and foremost. What is the character feeling? Is she making her feelings obvious or trying to stifle them? Are her nostrils flaring? Has her blood turned hot? Can she smell anything? Hear anything? It’s fun to convey these things with words and try to show the readers what I am seeing in my own head. Something you found surprising whilst researching the novel? The effect of lake browning and respiration mode on the burial and fate of carbon and mercury in the sediment of two boreal lakes. Journal of Geophysical Research Biosciences, 121, 233–245. 10.1002/2015JG003086 The writing of this mystery/detective story is excellent, but in some ways I think it’s a better women’s fiction novel than a mystery.The relationship between Gemma and Felix seems more of a focus than the mystery which was a little disappointing to me, particularly as I didn't approve of it. It made the story drag and detracted from the suspense. It made a rather long, tedious novel of what could have been an intriguing, fast read. This novel is all about Gemma and her tumultuous life, but there's little for the reader to relate to on an emotional level, making it a redundant angle. Even with her as a mother, we're given little to work with. Her relationships are ill-defined and we're given very little reasoning for the way she thinks and acts. Old and stable soil organic matter is not necessarily chemically recalcitrant: Implications for modeling concepts and temperature sensitivity. Global Change Biology, 17, 1097–1107. 10.1111/j.1365-2486.2010.02278.x Consequences of increased temperature and CO 2 for phytoplankton community structure in the Bering Sea. Marine Ecology Progress Series, 352, 9–16. 10.3354/meps07182 The longer I am in this job, the more I realize that the lines between love and hate and life and death are blurry”
Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) in the microbiological world: How to make the most of your money. Journal of Microbiological Methods, 138, 60–71. 10.1016/j.mimet.2016.02.016 The school is the epicentre of all of this. It’s where the victim and the investigator first met, it’s where they came to know each other, and it’s where they met many of the people who go on to become part of their story. It’s also the place Rosalind returned to, where she attempted to forge an identity, and ultimately where everything came undone.R: A language and environment for statistical computing.
