the origin and preservation of a major Hurricane Event bed in the northern gulf of mexico Hurricane camille 1969
Marine Geology, 2002Co-Authors: Samuel J Bentley, Timothy R Keen, Cheryl Ann Blain, Chad W VaughanAbstract:Cores collected from Mississippi Sound, in the Gulf of Mexico, were studied using 210 Pbxs and 137 Cs geochronology, X-radiography, granulometry, and a multi-sensor core logger. Our results indicate the presence of a widespread sandy Event layer that we attribute to Hurricane Camille (1969). An initial thickness of more than 10 cm is estimated from the cores, which is large compared to the time-averaged apparent accumulation rate of 0.29^0.47 cm y 31 . Physical and biological post-depositional processes have reworked the sandy layer, producing a regional discontinuity and localized truncation, and resulting in an imperfect and biased record of sedimentary processes during the storm. The oceanographic and sedimentological processes that would have produced an Event bed during Hurricane Camille are simulated using a series of numerical models, i.e. (1) a parametric cyclone wind model, (2) the SWAN third-generation wave model, (3) the ADCIRC 2D finite-element hydrodynamic model, and (4) a wave^ current bottom boundary layer model that is coupled to transport and bed conservation equations (TRANS98). The simulated bed ranges from 5 cm to over 100 cm within a tidal channel near the barrier islands. Seaward of the islands, the bed is more than 10 cm in thickness with local variability. The magnitude and local variability of the storm bed thickness are consistent with the observed stratigraphy and geochronology on both the landward and seaward sides of the barriers. @ 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

Vibrio ecology, pathogenesis and evolution - Vibrio ecology, pathogenesis, and evolution.
Frontiers in microbiology, 2014Co-Authors: Daniela Ceccarelli, Rita R. ColwellAbstract:This Research Topic brings together 24 articles that highlight the most recent research findings concerning the biology of the genus Vibrio and covers pathogenicity and host interaction, genome plasticity and evolution, and the dynamics of factors influencing the ecology of vibrios. Vibrio comprises one of the most diverse marine bacterial genera (Gomez-Gil et al., 2014), and its diversity is emphasized in two of the articles opening this set of Research Topic papers. Sawabe et al. (2013) present a molecular phylogeny of 86 Vibrio species based on genome sequencing that provides insight into Vibrio biodiversity and evolutionary history. In a study of more than 300 Vibrio genome sequences, Lukjancenko and Ussery (2014) conclude that the Vibrio pan-genome comprises 17,000 gene families, differentially present and/or expressed in any given species. A remarkable feature of all Vibrio species is an highly plastic genome, a feature examined in five papers. The two chromosomes are shaped by horizontal gene transfer involving, among others, antibiotic resistance, virulence, and niche adaptation (Rowe-Magnus et al., 2001; Kirkup et al., 2010). V. vulnificus biotype 3 is a notable example. Efimov et al. (2013) suggest biotype 3 evolved from biotype 1 by acquisition of unique genes from other bacterial species, such as Shewanella, sharing the same ecological niche. Carraro et al. (2014) employ molecular and functional characterization of pVCR94, to identify the role of IncA/C plasmids in antibiotic resistance in a Rwandan V. cholerae isolate. A retrospective analysis of epidemic V. cholerae in Angola is reported by Valia et al. (2013), showing unexpected genomic variability among variants, highlighting the role of genomic islands, phages, and integrative conjugative elements in the genetic diversity of V. cholerae in a single epidemic. Rivas et al. (2013) describe acquisition by Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae of virulence plasmid pPHDD1 that encodes pore-forming toxins and hemolysins which play a key role in virulence for both fish and humans. A review by Rapa and Labbate (2013) describes the role of integrons in Vibrio species for which gene cassettes comprise approximately 1–3% of the entire genome and are very likely involved in bacterial adaptation and evolution. Nine of the manuscripts analyze Vibrio pathogenicity, disease development, specificity, and adaptation in both human and animal hosts. Tan et al. (2014) deciphered the biosynthetic network of the siderophore vulnibactin, essential in iron uptake from host proteins, the importance of which in V. vulnificus pathogenicity has been clinically demonstrated. Inhibition/resistance mechanisms developed by V. salmonicida, the causative agent of hemorrhagic septicemia in Atlantic salmon, is described by Bjelland et al. (2013), who show that it overcomes the salmon innate immune system to a point where the infection overwhelms the host. The role in bacterial virulence of diverse extracellular proteolytic enzymes secreted by human pathogenic Vibrio species is the focus of a review by Miyoshi (2013). The engagement of type VI secretion systems by V. cholerae is suggested as a means of intra- and inter-species predation and nutrient acquisition, inducing rapid multiplication in the human host (Pukatzki and Provenzano, 2013). The bioluminescent marine bacterium V. campbellii is used by Wang et al. (2013) to analyze the pyomelanin-pigmented phenotype, known to provide Vibrio species with greater UV and oxidative stress resistance and enhanced intestine colonization. The relationship between pathogenicity and motility in Vibrio species and the contribution of flagella to adhesion and biofilm formation are discussed by Zhu et al. (2013). The largely unexplored V. fluvialis mechanisms of pathogenesis, survival and fitness are reviewed by Ramamurthy et al. (2014). Twenty new Vibrio species associated with molluscans are described and their pathogenic potential for molluscs elucidated by Romalde et al. (2014). The exquisite bacteria–host interaction between V. fisheri and its squid host, Euprymna scolopes, is described in detail, as are the molecular pathways of biofilm formation, motility, and chemotaxis (Norsworthy and Visick, 2013). The capacity of Vibrio species to persist in the aquatic environment, their ecology and association with abiotic and biotic factors, as well as environmental surveillance for public health (Lipp et al., 2002; Grimes et al., 2009; Johnson, 2013) comprise a section in the Research Topic that opens with a review by Lutz et al. (2013) elucidating complex mechanisms enabling V. cholerae to withstand starvation, temperature fluctuation, salinity variation, and predation. Haley et al. (2014) report water temperature increase can be correlated with rise of a diverse population of V. parahaemolyticus, some of which carry pandemic markers, in water and plankton along the Georgian coast of the Black Sea. V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus populations associated with oyster, sediment, and surface water related to a Hurricane Event in the Chesapeake Bay are concluded to be influenced by wave energy and sediment resuspension (Shaw et al., 2014). Canesi et al. (2013) show the serum of Mytilus galloprovincialis promotes phagocytosis and killing by hemocytes of both V. cholerae O1 and non-O1/non-O139 in edible bivalves. Chakraborty et al. (2013) evaluate a sensitive and specific dipstick test to detect toxigenic V. cholerae in water, validating a simple, inexpensive method for use in areas at risk of cholera. Three articles addressing Vibrio environmental diversity and dynamics complete this Research Topic. Mansergh and Zehr (2014) suggest that the natural shift of Vibrio populations in Monterey Bay is affected by larger oceanographic conditions (flow velocities and wind patterns), rather than individual environmental factors. Meta-analysis of environmental variables and Vibrio association with plants, algae, zooplankton, and animals are reviewed by Takemura et al. (2014). As a final point concerning environmental distribution, Constantin De Magny et al. (2014) propose temporal shifts, zooplankton community variability, and occurrence of V. cholerae in the aquatic environment are related to cholera dynamics. These factors, analyzed by metagenomics, permit greater understanding of community structure, function, and competition. In summary, the collection of manuscripts provided in this Research Topic offers a comprehensive exploration of Vibrio biology, from the single gene to the bacterial community, elucidating Vibrio molecular pathways and evolutionary history. This special issue shows the significant progress achieved in understanding the complex biology of the genus Vibrio and should both stimulate discussion and offer a challenge to researchers in microbial ecology and evolution.

DO MANAGERS OVERREACT TO SALIENT RISKS? EVIDENCE FROM Hurricane STRIKES *
Journal of Financial Economics, 2017Co-Authors: Olivier Dessaint, Adrien MatrayAbstract:Consistent with salience theories of choice, we find that managers overreact to salient risks. We study how managers respond to the occurrence of a Hurricane Event when their firms are located in the neighborhood of the disaster area. We find that the sudden shock to the perceived liquidity risk leads managers to increase the amount of corporate cash holdings, even though the real liquidity risk remains unchanged. Such an increase in cash holdings is only temporary. Over time, the perceived risk decreases, and the bias disappears. This bias is costly for shareholders because it leads to higher retained earnings and negatively impacts firm value by reducing the value of cash. We examine alternative explanations for our findings. In particular, we find only weak evidence that the possibility of risk learning or regional spillover effects may influence our results.
