The potential for Blue Carbon ecosystems to combat climate change and provide co-benefits
was discussed in the recent and influential Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change …

The recognition that all macroorganisms live in symbiotic association with microbial
communities has opened up a new field in biology. Animals, plants, and algae are now …

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 …

Plankton communities normally consist of few abundant and many rare species, yet little is
known about the ecological role of rare planktonic eukaryotes. Here we used a 18S …

Protists are the dominant eukaryotes in the biosphere where they play key functional roles.
While protists have been studied for over a century, it is the high-throughput sequencing of …

Unprecedented rates of introduction and spread of non-native species pose burgeoning
challenges to biodiversity, natural resource management, regional economies, and human …

Marine life is controlled by multiple physical and chemical drivers and by diverse ecological
processes. Many of these oceanic properties are being altered by climate change and other …

The biological carbon pump is the process by which CO2 is transformed to organic carbon
via photosynthesis, exported through sinking particles, and finally sequestered in the deep …

The transition from dominant bacterial to eukaryotic marine primary productivity was one of
the most profound ecological revolutions in the Earth's history, reorganizing the distribution …

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 …
