The worldwide proliferation of harmful algal blooms (HABs) both in freshwater and marine
ecosystems make understanding and predicting their occurrence urgent. Trait‐based …

Diatoms are ideal aquaculture baits because they are not only rich in products with added
value, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid, chrysolaminarin, and …

The salinity gradient separating marine and freshwater environments represents a major
ecological divide for microbiota, yet the mechanisms by which marine microbes have …

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are an increasing threat to global fisheries and human health.
The mitigation of HABs requires management strategies to successfully forecast the …

Sexual reproduction is a major driver of adaptation and speciation in eukaryotes. In diatoms,
