ABSTRACT Prorocentrum cf. balticum was the provisional designation assigned to strains of a small, pelagic, mixoplanktonic dinoflagellate found to produce carbon‐rich mucilage‐based prey capture devices, termed “mucospheres.” Here we characterize the morphology and phylogeny of the strains, describe them as Prorocentrum insidiosum sp. nov., and discuss

High Protistan Parasite Occurrence During Fall in a Warm, Low Sea Ice Year in the Eastern Bering Sea
ABSTRACT Marine protists in the eastern Bering Sea (EBS) are understudied despite being a critical component of the productive subarctic ecosystem. Climate change, and particularly the loss of sea ice, is rapidly altering this ecologically vulnerable and economically important system.

Abstract The interannual variability of winter phytoplankton blooms in the northern Arabian Sea (NAS) and the underlying mechanisms are investigated using observations, atmospheric reanalysis, and simulation results. An increasing trend in NAS winter phytoplankton blooms is observed over the past two decades.

ABSTRACT Differences in the ecological stability of shallow lakes are reflected in the functional nature of the distinct phytoplankton communities in the Southern Hemisphere. Recent studies have highlighted growing uncertainties of the previous concepts regarding phytoplankton cosmopolitanism, suggesting these communities may be more regionally ...

ABSTRACT Lake Tana, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve Lake. The lake contains 50% of Ethiopia's freshwater and fertile land, which favoured urbanization, agriculture and irrigation, impacting its ecosystem. Understanding the effects of buffer zone degradation on plankton and water quality was vital for sustainable resource utilization.

This study, through a combination of morphological analysis, molecular identification, and stable isotope analysis, confirmed that crustaceans are the primary food source for these fishes. Small carnivorous fishes reduce niche overlap by selectively feeding on different types of crustaceans—a strategy supported by the abundant crustacean resources in ...

Abstract Recolonization or range expansion of large marine predators can be facilitated by reestablishing formally important trophic linkages within intact coastal marine food webs. We analyzed long‐term changes in the structure of coastal marine food webs supporting remnant and recolonizing populations of New Zealand sea lions (Phocarctos hookeri), an
