The Role of 1N-Ethenoadenosine Triphosphate and 1N-Ethenoadenosine Monophosphate in Firefly Luminescence.

abstract：:As global climate continues to warm, melting of glaciers releases a large quantity of mercury (Hg) originally locked in ice into the atmosphere and downstream ecosystems. Here, we show an opposite process that captures atmospheric Hg through glacier-to-vegetation succession. Our study using stable isotope techniques a...
