Global increases in atmospheric CO2 and temperature are associated with changes in
ocean chemistry and circulation, altering light and nutrient regimes. Resulting changes in …

Marine picocyanobacteria of the genera Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus numerically
dominate the picophytoplankton of the world ocean, making a key contribution to global …

Temperature strongly affects phytoplankton growth rates, but its effect on communities and
ecosystem processes is debated. Because phytoplankton are often limited by light …

Abstract Photoinhibition of Photosystem II (PSII) is the light-induced loss of PSII electron-
transfer activity. Although photoinhibition has been studied for a long time, there is no …

Diatoms dominate nearly half of current oceanic productivity, so their responses to ocean
acidification are of general concern regarding future oceanic carbon sequestration …

Light‐dependent growth of phytoplankton is a fundamental process in marine ecosystems,
but we lack a comprehensive view of how light utilization traits vary across genotypes and …

Marine phytoplankton show complex community structures and biogeographic distributions,
the net results of physiological and ecological trade‐offs of species responses to fluctuating …

Unicellular cyanobacteria constitute a substantial, ecologically important part of freshwater
and marine microflora. Solitary, elongated cyanobacterial cells without apparent slime …

To better understand the temporal and spatial dynamics of Prochlorococcus populations,
and how these populations co-vary with the physical environment, we followed monthly …

Marine Synechococcus cyanobacteria constitute a monophyletic group that displays a wide
latitudinal distribution, ranging from the equator to the polar fronts. Whether these organisms …
