Picophytoplankton biomass distribution in the global ocean [PDF]
The smallest marine phytoplankton, collectively termed picophytoplankton, have been routinely enumerated by flow cytometry since the late 1980s during cruises throughout most of the world ocean. We compiled a database of 40 946 data points, with separate

The physiological response of seven strains of picophytoplankton to light, and its representation in a dynamic photosynthesis model [PDF]
Picophytoplankton dominate the phytoplankton community in wide ocean areas and are considered efficient in the acquisition of light compared to other phytoplankton groups.

The physiological response of picophytoplankton to temperature and its model representation [PDF]
Picophytoplankton account for most of the marine (sub-)tropical phytoplankton biomass and primary productivity. The contribution to biomass among plankton functional types (PFTs) could shift with climate warming, in part as a result of different ...

Seasonal and spatial patterns of picophytoplankton growth, grazing and distribution in the East China Sea [PDF]
Dynamics of picophytoplankton population distribution in the East China Sea (ECS), a marginal sea in the western North Pacific Ocean, were studied during two cruises in August 2009 (summer) and January 2010 (winter).

Nitrogen and phosphorus limitation of oceanic microbial growth during spring in the Gulf of Aqaba [PDF]
Bioassay experiments were performed to identify how growth of key groups within the microbial community was simultaneously limited by nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) availability during spring in the Gulf of Aqaba's oceanic waters.

Noise Induced Phenomena in the Dynamics of Two Competing Species [PDF]
Noise through its interaction with the nonlinearity of the living systems can give rise to counter-intuitive phenomena. In this paper we shortly review noise induced effects in different ecosystems, in which two populations compete for the same resources.

STOCHASTIC DYNAMICS OF TWO PICOPHYTOPLANKTON POPULATIONS IN A REAL MARINE ECOSYSTEM [PDF]
A stochastic reaction-diffusion-taxis model is analyzed to get the stationary distribution along water column of two species of picophytoplankton, that is picoeukaryotes and Prochlorococcus.

Phytoplankton cell size: intra- and interspecific effects of warming and grazing [PDF]
Decreasing body size has been suggested as the third universal biological response to global warming after latitudinal/altitudinal range shifts and shifts in phenology.
