The underlying causes and effects of phytoplankton seasonal turnover on resource use efficiency in freshwater lakes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
The extent of intra‐annual turnover in phytoplankton communities is directly associated with the overall diversity. However, our understanding of the underlying causes and effects of intra‐annual turnover remains limited.

Effects of microalgae diets on growth, proximate, and fatty acid composition of black mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis

open access: yesJournal of the World Aquaculture Society
This study evaluates the growth, proximate, and fatty acid composition of black mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis fed four marine microalgae (Pavlova lutheri, Nannochloropsis oculata, Diacronema vlkianum and Rhinomonas reticulata) diets for 21 days ...

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Insights and predictions of Phytoplankton Biomass in Equatorial Pacific using Random Forest Modeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Phytoplankton biomass drivers are integral to our understanding of how climate change will impact the carbon cycle as photosynthesis and carbon sequestration play a crucial role in mitigating climate change. The equatorial Pacific is a region with high

PondNet – towards a global network of experiments on the effects of climate change on aquatic ecosystems

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Global change is reshaping the distribution of biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems. Predicting the long‐term consequences of such changes remains a challenge due to a need for a clear understanding of the mechanisms underpinning ecosystem‐level responses, as well as the role of geographical and environmental contingencies.

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

Chemical and Morphological Constitutive Defensive Traits of Cyanobacteria Have Different Effects on the Grazing of a Small Tropical Cladoceran

open access: yesToxins
Antipredator defenses of bloom-forming cyanobacteria species maximize their fitness but can reduce carbon and energy transfer efficiency to higher trophic levels, making them a key regulator of plankton communities in eutrophic waters.

Remote sensing of phytoplankton community composition in the northern Benguela upwelling system

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Marine phytoplankton in the northern Benguela upwelling system (nBUS) serve as a food and energy source fuelling marine food webs at higher trophic levels and thereby support a lucrative fisheries industry that sustain local economies in Namibia ...

The relationship between cellular protein content and selenium accumulation in freshwater microalgae

open access: yesIntegrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView.
Abstract Variability in the bioconcentration of selenium (Se) by primary producers at the base of the food web results in uncertainty in predictions of bioaccumulation and ecological risk to higher trophic level organisms. Water chemistry, speciation of Se, and periphyton community composition have all been suggested as factors that contribute to ...
