Revealing the Physiological Patterns of Dinoflagellates in North-Eastern Adriatic Phytoplankton. [PDF]
Using metatranscriptomics, we have described the annual taxonomic and functional succession of the phytoplankton community in the north‐eastern Adriatic Sea, taking into account the effects of environmental factors on succession. The results obtained in this way represent the first comprehensive physiological characterisation of the phytoplankton ...

Protistan Plankton Responses to Variable Light and Upwelling in the Peruvian Humboldt Current System: Insights Into Community Dynamics Under Environmental Change. [PDF]
Our study reveals (based on experiments) the shifts in protistan plankton communities, serving as energy and organic matter source for higher trophic levels if the Humboldt Current System is affected by climate change as predicted by current models. This may have profound effects on fisheries in the Humboldt Current System.

Early Cretaceous ammonites and dinoflagellates from the Western Tatra Mountains, Poland [PDF]
The first Early Cretaceous (Valanginian–Hauterivian) ammonite fauna from the lower part of the Kościeliska Marl Formation (Wściekły Żleb Member) of the Lower Sub-Tatric (Krížna) Nappe, in the Lejowa Valley of the Tatra Mountains are described.

Seasonal Transition in the Dominance of Photoautotrophic and Heterotrophic Protists in the Photic Layer of a Subtropical Marine Ecosystem. [PDF]
Amplicon sequencing showed a distinct seasonality in protist communities and functional strategies in a subtropical ecosystem in the Gulf of Aqaba. Temperature and nutrients were major drivers of succession. Comparisons with oceanwide Tara‐Ocean datasets indicated that the summer‐oligotrophic protist assemblages from the Gulf of Aqaba resemble those ...

Extracellular rRNA Profiling Reveals the Sinking and Cell Lysis Dynamics of Marine Microeukaryotes. [PDF]
Lytic mortality of marine microeukaryotes was assessed using extracellular rRNA profiling. Cell lysis was elevated in the mesopelagic zone (300–500 m), primarily involving cells that had sunk from the surface layer. ABSTRACT Marine plankton communities consist of numerous species, and their composition and physiological states are closely linked to ...

Multi-Tool Marine Metabarcoding Bioassessment for Baselining and Monitoring Species and Communities in Kelp Habitats. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The astonishing biological diversity found in Californian kelp forests requires efficient and robust monitoring tools to better understand ecological trends and mitigate against loss or disruption of ecosystem services due to human pressure and climate changes.
