Our understanding on phytoplankton diversity has largely been progressing since the
publication of Hutchinson on the paradox of the plankton. In this paper, we summarise some …

The future response of marine ecosystem diversity to continued anthropogenic forcing is
poorly constrained. Phytoplankton are a diverse set of organisms that form the base of the …

Marine phytoplankton and zooplankton form the basis of the ocean's food-web, yet the
impacts of climate change on their biodiversity are poorly understood. Here, we use an …

The ocean is home to myriad small planktonic organisms that underpin the functioning of
marine ecosystems. However, their spatial patterns of diversity and the underlying drivers …

DNA viruses are increasingly recognized as influencing marine microbes and microbe-
mediated biogeochemical cycling. However, little is known about global marine RNA virus …

Global biodiversity hotspots are areas containing high levels of species richness, endemism
and threat. Similarly, regions of agriculturally relevant diversity have been identified where …

Marine phytoplankton generate half of global primary production, making them essential to
ecosystem functioning and biogeochemical cycling. Though phytoplankton are …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are statistical tools that relate species observations to
environmental conditions to retrieve ecological niches and predict species' potential …

Biodiversity of phytoplankton is important for ecosystem stability and marine
biogeochemistry. However, the large-scale patterns of diversity are not well understood and …

Marine phytoplankton play important roles in the global ecosystem, with a limited number of
cosmopolitan keystone species driving their biomass. Recent studies have revealed that …
