Digital in-line holographic microscopy (DIHM) is a non-invasive, real-time, label-free
technique that captures three-dimensional (3D) positional, orientational, and morphological …

Abstract The oligotrophic Adriatic Sea is characterized during a typical summer by low
productivity caused by strong water column stratification, which inhibits vertical mixing and …

Planktons are a fundamental piece of all ocean ecosystems yet, sampling plankton at the
high resolution required to understand their dynamics remains a challenge. In-situ imaging …

Mesozooplankton is a very diverse group of small animals ranging in size from 0.2 to 20 mm
not able to swim against ocean currents. It is a key component of pelagic ecosystems …

Background Estuaries are transitional coastal ecosystems that are threatened by multiple
sources of human pollution. In 2015, mining tailings from an upstream dam failure caused …

Microplastic (MP) pollution is seriously threatening the environmental health of the world,
which has accelerated the development of new identification and characterization methods …

Sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) offers an important opportunity for investigating long-
term community dynamics. Nevertheless, sedaDNA is challenging since DNA is degraded …

In the era of climate change-related restructuring of planktonic protist communities, it is
especially important to identify possible shifts in their taxonomic composition. While …

We present guidelines for using environmental DNA metabarcoding, together with
conventional techniques, to monitor the taxonomic diversity of phytoplankton in marine and …

Plankton is the base of the ocean ecosystem and is very sensitive to changes in their
environment. Thus, monitoring the status of plankton in-situ has incredible importance for …
