The temperature sensitivity of phytoplankton growth rates, parameterized as the activation
energy (Ea) in the Boltzmann‐Arrhenius equation, is critical to determining how global …

The 21st century has seen an acceleration of anthropogenic climate change and biodiversity
loss, with both stressors deemed to affect ecosystem functioning. However, we know little …

Zooplankton are the primary energy pathway from phytoplankton to fish. Yet, there is limited
understanding about how climate change will modify zooplankton communities and the …

Temperature has a profound effect on the species composition and physiology of marine
phytoplankton, a polyphyletic group of microbes responsible for half of global primary …

Plankton use solar energy to drive the nutrient cycles that make the planet habitable for
larger organisms. We can now explore the diversity and functions of plankton using …

Climate‐change‐induced alterations of oceanic conditions will lead to the ecological niches
of some marine phytoplankton species disappearing, at least regionally. How will such …

Temperature and nutrients are fundamental, highly nonlinear drivers of biological
processes, but we know little about how they interact to influence growth. This has …

Climate change could lead to mismatches between the reproductive cycles of marine
organisms and their planktonic food. We tested this hypothesis by comparing shrimp …

Springtime phytoplankton blooms photosynthetically fix carbon and export it from the surface
ocean at globally important rates. These blooms are triggered by increased light exposure of …

In this study, a global data set on size-fractionated chlorophyll distributions collected in the
open ocean (depth> 400 m) is used to investigate phytoplankton community size structure in …
