Authors choose where to submit their articles from over 40,000 peer-reviewed scholarly journals (Johnson et al. <span>2018</span>), and the journal publishing model is one consideration in their decision process. Journals published by the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) have followed model 2 since 2015 when ASLO entered a partnership with Wiley, in part because of revenue sharing that expanded the capacity of this society to serve its authors and members. I use lessons learned from the ASLO publication experience to describe three benefits of the society-publisher model that you as an author might consider when deciding where to submit your next manuscript.</p><p>Scientific publishing is on a fast track toward fully open access journals where authors pay the publication cost. Authors are largely unaware that more than half of this publication cost goes from the publisher to ASLO. This publishing revenue constitutes 40% to 60% of ASLOs total annual revenue, depending on income from conferences. This revenue supports services and benefits provided by ASLO to its members and beyond. The most direct benefit is publication of ASLO's journals—one of the most valued functions of scientific societies for its members (Johnson et al. <span>2018</span>). But many other benefits are enabled by this partnership, including ASLO operations and programs that target students, early career researchers (ECRs), and under-represented groups.

The rapid “bloom-bust” dynamics of pyrosomes have the potential to outcompete other zooplankton, restructure marine food webs, enhance carbon export, and interfere with human activities. Pyrosomes have been recorded for at least two centuries, yet much remains unknown about their physiology, bloom mechanisms, and ecosystem impacts. Recent bloom reports prompt the question of whether frequencies or densities are increasing, and whether potential population changes are caused by ocean change. This review clarifies current information on pyrosome biology and ecology and explores apparent contradictions in habitat preferences and diel vertical migration (DVM). We posit that the dominant species, <i>Pyrosoma atlanticum</i>, may preferentially inhabit waters below 18°C and alter its DVM activity to maintain overall body temperature near this threshold.

The ponds were built identically in 1964 and have since experienced different management strategies, allowing us to test how management actions influence burial rates. On average, the ponds accumulated 67.1 g OC m⁻² yr⁻¹ (range 38.3–113.6 g OC m⁻² yr⁻¹)—about double the global average burial rate for lakes and similar to global averages for wetlands.

Current and light were the main short-term drivers of a highly dynamic oxygen exchange. Daytime oxygen release as high as 300 mmol m⁻² d⁻¹ and nighttime oxygen uptake up to −100 mmol m⁻² d⁻¹ were likely sustained by current-driven transport of oxygen, nutrients, and organic matter (fuel) into and out of the sand and superimposed by rapid internal cycling.
