Recent advances in viral metagenomics have enabled the rapid discovery of an
unprecedented catalogue of phages in numerous environments, from the human gut to the …

A planetary-scale understanding of the ocean ecosystem, particularly in light of climate
change, is crucial. Here, we review the work of Tara Oceans, an international …

The mangrove ecosystem has a high nitrate reduction capacity, which significantly alleviates
severe nitrogen pollution. However, current research on nitrate reduction mechanisms in the …

Marine phytoplankton and zooplankton form the basis of the ocean's food-web, yet the
impacts of climate change on their biodiversity are poorly understood. Here, we use an …

Lagrangian analysis is a powerful way to analyse the output of ocean circulation models and
other ocean velocity data such as from altimetry. In the Lagrangian approach, large sets of …

In 2018 we celebrated 25 years of development of radar altimetry, and the progress
achieved by this methodology in the fields of global and coastal oceanography, hydrology …

Diatoms (Bacillariophyta) constitute one of the most diverse and ecologically important
groups of phytoplankton. They are considered to be particularly important in nutrient-rich …

Species interaction networks are shaped by abiotic and biotic factors. Here, as part of the
Tara Oceans project, we studied the photic zone interactome using environmental factors …

DNA viruses are increasingly recognized as influencing marine microbes and microbe-
mediated biogeochemical cycling. However, little is known about global marine RNA virus …

Microbes are dominant drivers of biogeochemical processes, yet drawing a global picture of
functional diversity, microbial community structure, and their ecological determinants …
