The semi-enclosed nature of the Mediterranean Sea, together with its smaller inertia due to
the relative short residence time of its water masses, make it highly reactive to external …

The planet is currently going through a period of global climate change, the pace of which is
unprecedented in geological history. Marine phytoplankton contribute approximately 50% of …

Flow cytometry is rapidly becoming a routine methodology in aquatic microbial ecology. The
combination of simple to use bench-top flow cytometers and highly fluorescent nucleic acid …

Although prokaryotes are small in size, they are a significant biomass component in aquatic
planktonic ecosystems and play a major role in biogeochemical processes. A review of the …

Microzooplankton dominate trophic interactions and biogeochemical processes at the base
of pelagic marine food webs and so their responses to a changing ocean environment have …

Ultraviolet‐B (UVB) radiation is a global stressor with potentially far‐reaching ecological
impacts. In the first quantitative analysis of the effects of UVB on aquatic organisms, we used …

▪ Abstract Ozone depletion by anthropogenic gases has increased the atmospheric
transmission of solar ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B, 280–315 nm). Our understanding of the …

The Arctic is now experiencing some of the most rapid and severe climate change on earth.
Over the next 100 years, climate change is expected to accelerate, contributing to major …

In this report, we provide a perspective on how zooplankton are able to respond to present
and future levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, a threat that has been present throughout …

Heterotrophic bacterioplankton are main consumers of dissolved organic matter (OM) in
aquatic ecosystems, including the sunlit upper layers of the ocean and freshwater bodies …
