Predation in aquatic microbial food webs is dominated by phagotrophic protists, yet these
microorganisms are still understudied compared to bacteria and phytoplankton. In pelagic …

In aquatic ecosystems, unicellular algae form the basis of the food webs. Theoretical and
experimental studies have demonstrated that one of the mechanisms that maintain high …

Literature review and synthesis of growth rates of aquatic protists focused on the role of
temperature in the formation of massive annual algal blooms in high‐latitude ecosystems …

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have occurred with increasing frequency in recent years with
eutrophication and other anthropogenic alterations of coastal ecosystems. Many of these …

Cryoconite is a mixture of mineral and organic material covering glacial ice, playing
important roles in biogeochemical cycles and lowering the albedo of a glacier surface …

Brown tides of the pelagophytes Aureococcus anophagefferens Hargraves et Sieburth and
Aureoumbra lagunensis DeYoe et Stockwell have formed ecosystem disruptive algal …

Microzooplankton dominate trophic interactions and biogeochemical processes at the base
of pelagic marine food webs and so their responses to a changing ocean environment have …

Relationships between shifts in climatic and other environmental conditions and changes in
the character and dynamics of phytoplankton blooms were examined in three …

Brown tides caused by the harmful alga Aureococcus anophagefferens abruptly appeared in
some coastal embayments of the northeastern United States (Rhode Island, New York) in …

Flow-regulated discharges of water from control structures into estuaries result in hydrologic
