A seasonal diary of phytoplankton in the North Atlantic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In recent years new biological and physical controls have been suggested to drive phytoplankton bloom dynamics in the North Atlantic. A better understanding of the mechanisms driving primary production has potentially important implications for the ...

PIBM 1.0: an individual-based model for simulating phytoplankton acclimation, diversity, and evolution in the ocean [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development
Phytoplankton is a diverse group of photosynthetic organisms and accounts for almost half of global primary production. However, most existing marine ecosystem models incorporate limited phytoplankton diversity, overlook phytoplankton evolution, and ...

Small phytoplankton contribution to the standing stocks and the total primary production in the Amundsen Sea [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2017
Small phytoplankton are anticipated to be more important in a recently warming and freshening ocean condition. However, little information on the contribution of small phytoplankton to overall phytoplankton production is currently available in the ...

A turbulent diatom vs dinoflagellate phytoplankton biomass model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Phytoplankton blooms play an important role in global primary productivity and the dynamics of blooms are of interest to modellers. Diatom dominated phytoplankton blooms followed by dinoflagellate blooms are common in the Southern Benguela, and are often

Initial size structure of natural phytoplankton communities determines the response to Daphnia diel vertical migration

open access: yesJournal of Limnology, 2012
Diel vertical migration (DVM) is a common behavior of many pelagic herbivorous zooplankton species in response to predation pressure. It is characterized by a twice daily habitat shift of the zooplankton species: staying in the epilimnion only during ...

The Chemistry of Phytoplankton

open access: yesChemical Reviews
Phytoplankton have a high potential for CO2 capture and conversion. Besides being a vital food source at the base of oceanic and freshwater food webs, microalgae provide a critical platform for producing chemicals and consumer products. Enhanced nutrient levels, elevated CO2, and rising temperatures increase the frequency of algal blooms, which often ...

Grazing Responses of Distinct-Sized Tropical Cladocerans to Different Filamentous Sizes of the Cyanobacterium Dolichospermum planctonicum

open access: yesMicroorganisms
Cyanobacterial blooms directly influence the structure and function of zooplankton communities; however, the trophic interactions between small tropical cladocerans and the cyanobacterium Dolichospermum are still poorly understood.
