Sustenance of phytoplankton in the subpolar North Atlantic during the winter through patchiness [PDF]
, 2017 This study investigates the influence of two factors that change the mixed layer depth and can potentially contribute to the phytoplankton sustenance over winter: 1) variability of air-sea fluxes and 2) three-dimensional processes arising from strong ...

Rappemonads are haptophyte phytoplankton [PDF]
Current Biology, 2021 Rapidly accumulating genetic data from environmental sequencing approaches have revealed an extraordinary level of unsuspected diversity within marine phytoplankton,1-11 which is responsible for around 50% of global net primary production.12,13 However, the phenotypic identity of many of the organisms distinguished by environmental DNA sequences ...

Grazing behavior and winter phytoplankton accumulation [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2021 Recent observations have shown that phytoplankton biomass increases in the North Atlantic during winter, even when the mixed layer is deepening and light is limited. Current theories suggest that this is due to a release from grazing pressure.

‘Floc and Sink’ Technique Removes Cyanobacteria and Microcystins from Tropical Reservoir Water
Toxins, 2021 Combining coagulants with ballast (natural soil or modified clay) to remove cyanobacteria from the water column is a promising tool to mitigate nuisance blooms.

Photoreception in Phytoplankton [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2016 In many species of phytoplankton, simple photoreceptors monitor ambient lighting. Photoreceptors provide a number of selective advantages including the ability to assess the time of day for circadian rhythms, seasonal changes, and the detection of excessive light intensities and harmful UV light.

Local intraspecific aggregation in phytoplankton model communities: spatial scales of occurrence and implications for coexistence [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Biology (2024), 2022 The coexistence of multiple phytoplankton species despite their reliance on similar resources is often explained with mean-field models assuming mixed populations. In reality, observations of phytoplankton indicate spatial aggregation at all scales, including at the scale of a few individuals.

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2021 Symbiosis is a dominant form of life that has been observed numerous times in marine ecosystems. For example, macroalgae coexist with bacteria that produce factors that promote algal growth and morphogenesis.
