Grazing resistance in phytoplankton [PDF]
Hydrobiologia, 2020 Phytoplankton is confronted with a variable assemblage of zooplankton grazers that create a strong selection pressure for traits that reduce mortality. Phytoplankton is, however, also challenged to remain suspended and to acquire sufficient resources for

Defining the ecological strategies of phytoplankton associated bacteria [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsEcological interactions between phytoplankton and bacteria govern the productivity and biogeochemistry of aquatic ecosystems. However, our understanding of these partnerships primarily comes from laboratory-based model systems, meaning that little is ...

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.

Coastal phytoplankton blooms expand and intensify in the 21st century
Nature, 2023 Phytoplankton blooms in coastal oceans can be beneficial to coastal fisheries production and ecosystem function, but can also cause major environmental problems^ 1 , 2 —yet detailed characterizations of bloom incidence and distribution are not available ...

‘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.

Ecological Indicators, 2021 River damming reduces the dispersal rates of biota and filter species by altering the local environmental conditions. Although phytoplankton is a key biotic group to indicate changes in aquatic environments, the effects of river damming on the ...

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.

Ecosystem services provided by marine and freshwater phytoplankton
Hydrobiologia, 2022 Phytoplankton, the ecological group of microalgae adapted to live in apparent suspension in water masses, is much more than an ecosystem’s engineer.
