Why marine phytoplankton calcify
Calcifying marine phytoplankton—coccolithophores—are some of the most successful yet
enigmatic organisms in the ocean and are at risk from global change. To better understand …

The pan-Arctic biodiversity of marine pelagic and sea-ice unicellular eukaryotes: a first-attempt assessment
M Poulin, N Daugbjerg, R Gradinger, L Ilyash… - Marine biodiversity, 2011 - Springer
Arctic marine unicellular eukaryotes are composed of microalgae and non-autotrophic
protists. These eukaryotes comprise a well-diversified group of organisms that are either …

Sensitivity of coccolithophores to carbonate chemistry and ocean acidification
About one-third of the carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere as a result of
human activity has been absorbed by the oceans, where it partitions into the constituent ions …

Strain-specific responses of Emiliania huxleyi to changing seawater carbonate chemistry
Four strains of the coccolithophore E. huxleyi (RCC1212, RCC1216, RCC1238, RCC1256)
were grown in dilute batch culture at four CO 2 levels ranging from~ 200 μatm to~ 1200 …

Cyclic evolution of phytoplankton forced by changes in tropical seasonality
Although the role of Earth's orbital variations in driving global climate cycles has long been
recognized, their effect on evolution is hitherto unknown. The fossil remains of …
