Exploring Global Patterns of Trace Metal Limitation as a Regulator of the Distribution of Dominant Marine Phytoplankton Groups

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
By synthesizing decades of culture data with modern oceanographic datasets, we modelled trace metal limitation of phytoplankton. Our analysis reaffirms the critical role of iron but additionally highlights a significant, growing impact of zinc on the biological pump in future oceans.

The Genus Neoceratium (Planktonic Dinoflagellates) as a Potential Indicator of Ocean Warming

Microorganisms, 2013
Among the planktonic dinoflagellates, the species-rich genus Neoceratium has particularly remarkable features that include its easily recognizable outline and large size.

Benthic contributions to the chemical seascape: Insights from Mediterranean underwater caves

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Chemical mediation plays a major role in the functioning of marine ecosystems, yet most of the molecules sustaining species interactions remain largely unknown. As an initial step toward clarifying these processes, this study investigates how benthic biodiversity shapes the chemical composition of seawater, using underwater caves as model ...

Depth Influences Symbiodiniaceae Associations Among Montastraea cavernosa Corals on the Belize Barrier Reef

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
In Belize, shallow populations (10 and 16 m) of the coral species Montastraea cavernosa from the back reef and reef crest are genetically differentiated from deeper populations on the fore reef and reef wall (25 and 35 m).

Rapid sexual reproduction intensifies blooms of a mixotrophic dinoflagellate

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Sexual reproduction is fundamental to the ecology and evolution of eukaryotes, yet its dynamics in microbial eukaryotes are often cryptic. Dinophysis are specialist mixotrophs that must balance prey capture, cell division, and sexual recombination during blooms, but relatively little is known about the occurrence and role of sex in their ...

Warming enhances protozooplankton top‐down control and nutrient competition

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Protozooplankton regulate microbial food webs through top‐down control and nutrient cycling, yet their grazing impacts under ocean warming, particularly in subsurface chlorophyll maximum (SCM) layers, remain poorly understood. This study investigated spatial and seasonal variability in protozooplankton grazing in the northern East China Sea ...

From cells to reefs—fluorescent protein distribution reveals species‐specific photoadaptation in closely related Caribbean corals

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Fluorescent proteins (FPs) are diverse and widespread pigments in reef‐building corals, assumed to modulate the internal light microenvironment within coral tissues. Yet, their precise distribution and organization at the tissue and cellular levels remain poorly understood, limiting our understanding of their functional roles.

Red, green, blue color indices as proxy for Symbiodiniaceae cell density and chlorophyll content during coral bleaching

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Coral bleaching, the breakdown of the symbiosis between the coral host and endosymbiotic microalgae, is the main cause of widespread coral reef degradation. Current visual assessment methods for coral health, including color reference cards, are constrained by subjective human color perception and limited resolution.

Response of the Nitrogen Isotopic Composition of Planktic Foraminifer Tissue to Surface Ocean Nutrient Cycling: A Case Study in the Northern South China Sea

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract This study presents data on geographically small‐scale patterns of nitrogen (N) isotope signals (δ15N) within the northern South China Sea (SCS) imprinted on planktic foraminifers (PF). PF from net tows on the shelf, continental slope, and in pelagic waters from summer 2019 were analyzed for δ15N.

Reversible Regime Change: Climate‐Driven Phytoplankton Community Shifts in the Cariaco Basin, Venezuela

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Phytoplankton communities are integral to oceanic biogeochemical cycles and are sensitive indicators of climate‐driven environmental variability. Long‐term time series capture this variability, allowing us to unravel the effects of environmental change on local communities.
