Abstract The Bay of Bengal (BoB) is a 2,600,000 km2 expanse in the Indian Ocean upon
which many humans rely. However, the primary producers underpinning food chains here …

Studying taxonomic and ecological diversity of phytoplankton assemblages is often difficult
because morphological analysis cannot provide a complete description of their composition …

Marine processes are observed with sensors from both the ground and space over large
spatio-temporal scales. Citizen-based contributions can fill observational gaps and increase …

We have recently argued that, because microbes have pervasive–often vital–influences on
our lives, and that therefore their roles must be taken into account in many of the decisions …

The Fungi are a diverse kingdom, dominating terrestrial environments and driving important
ecologies. Although fungi, and the related Opisthosporidia, interact with photosynthetic …

Phytoplankton monitoring is essential for the global understanding of aquatic ecosystems.
The present research studies the phytoplankton community of the Urdaibai estuary …

In recent years, large-scale oceanic sequencing efforts have provided a deeper
understanding of marine microbial communities and their dynamics. These research …

In this study, we investigated the effect of simulated salinities in the nitrification process in
estuarine sediments through fingerprinting analysis of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) …

Pico-and nano-phytoplankton (respectively, 0.2–2 and 2–20 μm in cell size) play a key role
in many marine ecosystems. In this size range, Bolidophyceae is a group of eukaryotes that …
