Although iridoviruses vary widely within and among genera with respect to their host range and virulence, variation within iridovirus species has been less extensively characterized. This study explores the nature and extent of intraspecific variation within an emerging iridovirus of North American warm-water fishes, largemouth bass virus (LMBV). Three LMBV isolates recovered from three distinc...

Snapping shrimp noise is thought to be a major component of ambient noise at high frequencies (2 kHz 300 kHz) in warm shallow water. We have designed an experiment to investigate its temporal and spatial distribution and variability. This information has application to many underwater acoustic systems in providing background knowledge about the structure of this class of noise. The experiment r...

In this editorial, the author explains that the journal Temperature stands on the shoulders of giants-prominent scientists of the past and current members of the Temperature community. Temperature also uses the best tools, such as Google Scholar profiles. The editorial includes a new puzzle: why does warm water freeze faster than cold water?

Pacific Summer Water (PSW) plays a critical role in the ecosystem of western Arctic Ocean, impacting sea-ice melt and providing freshwater to basin. Most water exits Chukchi Sea shelf through Barrow Canyon, but manner which this occurs ultimate fate remain uncertain. Using an extensive collection historical hydrographic velocity data, we demonstrate how PSW outflow depends on different wind con...
