Marine phytoplankton blooms are annual spring events that sustain active and diverse
bloom-associated bacterial populations. Blooms vary considerably in terms of eukaryotic …

Seawater concentrations of the climate-cooling, volatile sulphur compound dimethylsulphide
(DMS) are the result of numerous production and consumption processes within the marine …

In aquatic ecosystems, unicellular algae form the basis of the food webs. Theoretical and
experimental studies have demonstrated that one of the mechanisms that maintain high …

Many organisms have developed defences to avoid predation by species at higher trophic
levels. The capability of primary producers to defend themselves against herbivores affects …

Abstract The Arctic Ocean features extreme seasonal differences in daylight, temperature,
ice cover, and mixed layer depth. However, the diversity and ecology of microbes across …

Chinese researchers have made substantial progresses in research on the harmful algal
bloom (HAB) species Phaeocystis globosa since the first P. globosa bloom outbreak in the …

The genus Phaeocystis is globally distributed, with blooms commonly occurring on
continental shelves. This unusual phytoplankter has two major morphologies: solitary cells …

Global ocean biogeochemistry models currently employed in climate change projections
use highly simplified representations of pelagic food webs. These food webs do not …

The relevance of considering environmental variability for understanding and predicting
biological responses to environmental changes has resulted in a recent surge in variability …

Seawater desalination by reverse osmosis (RO) is a reliable method for augmenting
drinking water supplies. In recent years, the number and size of these water projects have …
