In marine ecosystems, most physiological, ecological, or physical processes are size
dependent. These include metabolic rates, the uptake of carbon and other nutrients …

Oceans alleviate the accumulation of atmospheric CO 2 by absorbing approximately a
quarter of all anthropogenic emissions. In the deep oceans, carbon uptake is dominated by …

Planktonic organisms including phyto-, zoo-, and mixoplankton are key components of
aquatic ecosystems and respond quickly to changes in the environment, therefore their …

The mixing ratios of highly volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were studied on Utö Island in
the Baltic Sea. Measurements of non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) and methanethiol …

Human activities at sea can produce pressures and cumulative effects on ecosystem
components that need to be monitored and assessed in a cost-effective manner. Five …

Testing fundamental theories of diversity and evolutionary change often requires tracking
the frequencies of clonal lineages within a population over time. Current tracking methods in …

Under the Climate Change scenario, the occurrence of Harmful Cyanobacterial Blooms
(HCBs) is an increasingly concerning problem. Particularly for inland freshwaters, that have …

Advances in in situ marine life imaging have significantly increased the size and quality of
available datasets, but automatic image analysis has not kept pace. Machine learning has …

Phytoplankton parasites are largely understudied microbial components with a potentially
significant ecological influence on phytoplankton bloom dynamics. To better understand the …

Motivated by the need for rapid and robust monitoring of phytoplankton in inland waters, this
article introduces a protocol based on a mobile spectral imager for assessing phytoplankton …
