The accurate extraction of species‐abundance information from DNA‐based data
(metabarcoding, metagenomics) could contribute usefully to diet analysis and food‐web …

Ocean color satellites have provided a synoptic view of global phytoplankton for over 25
years through near surface measurements of the concentration of chlorophyll a. While …

Antarctica is one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change on Earth and studying the
past and present responses of this polar marine ecosystem to environmental change is a …

Microbial communities in the world ocean are affected strongly by oceanic circulation,
creating characteristic marine biomes. The high connectivity of most of the ocean makes it …

Mixotrophic eukaryotes are important bacterivores in oligotrophic open oceans, but their
significance as grazers in more nutrient‐rich waters is less clear. Here, we investigated the …

While dam construction supports social and economic development, changes in hydraulic
conditions can also affect natural aquatic ecosystems, especially microbial ecosystems. The …

Haptophytes are an environmentally important phylum of eukaryotic phytoplankton, forming
the second most abundant algal group after diatoms in recent estimates of ocean …

Oceanic phytoplankton species are generally composed of many strains, with intra-species
diversity consisting of genetic and phenotypic variability. Despite its importance in ecological …

Mercury (Hg) methylation genes (hgcAB) mediate the formation of the toxic methylmercury
and have been identified from diverse environments, including freshwater and marine …

Metabarcoding is a rapidly developing tool in marine zooplankton ecology, although most
zooplankton surveys continue to rely on visual identification for monitoring purposes. We …
