Bioluminescent Plankton

open access: yes
Those that are lucky enough to have seen a bioluminescent beach say it is a fantastic spectacle, like few on Earth. The sparks of blue or green light that accompany the water in the winding breaking of the waves captivate young and old alike. I, unfortunately, have never seen it, although I have seen occasional sparks in the night water, and I have ...

Planktons In Aquaculture

open access: yes, 2023
Abstract Plankton play a crucial role in aquaculture systems, serving as a fundamental component of the aquatic food chain and providing a source of nutrition for many farmed organisms. Plankton, including both phytoplankton (microscopic plants) and zooplankton (microscopic animals), serve as primary producers in aquatic ecosystems.

Nutrient enrichment—but not warming—increases nitrous oxide emissions from shallow lake mesocosms

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Shallow lakes and ponds play a crucial role in the processing of carbon and other nutrients. However, many lakes and ponds worldwide are affected by climate change and nutrient pollution. How these pressures affect the emission of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) is unclear.

All plankton sampling systems underestimate abundance: Response to “Continuous plankton recorder underestimates zooplankton abundance” by J.W. Dippner and M. Krause [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
International audienceIt is axiomatic in plankton research that no plankton sampler, or combination of plankton samplers, can provide a true estimate of abundance for all components of the plankton at anytime.

Climate change–induced terrestrial matter runoff may decrease food web production in coastal ecosystems

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change is projected to cause elevated precipitation in northern Europe, leading to increased runoff of terrestrial matter to coastal areas. The consequences for food web production and ecosystem function remain unclear. A mesocosm experiment was performed to investigate the impacts of elevated terrestrial matter input, using a natural ...

The Rhythms of Plankton

open access: yes
3 figures The dichotomy between day and night drives most rhythms in nature. The sun activates photosynthesis and with it, thousands of biochemical, physiological, and ethological processes. Humans sleep mostly at night, but many beasts thrive in the dark. During the night we see the moon, which also has its rhythms around 28-29 days.

Nutrient pulse scenarios drive contrasting patterns in the functional stability of freshwater phytoplankton

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change is increasing the frequency, intensity, and stochasticity of extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall, storm‐induced mixing, or prolonged drought periods. This results in more variable regimes of dissolved nutrients and carbon in lakes and induces temporal fluctuations in the resource availability for plankton communities ...

Active Displacement of a Unique Diatom–Ciliate Symbiotic Association

open access: yesFluids
Adaptive movement in response to individual interactions represents a fundamental evolutionary solution found by both unicellular organisms and metazoans to avoid predators, search for resources or conspecifics for mating, and engage in other ...
