Coccolithophores are major producers of ocean biogenic calcite, but this process is
predicted to be negatively affected by future ocean acidification scenarios. Since …

Southern Ocean waters are projected to undergo profound changes in their physical and
chemical properties in the coming decades. Coccolithophore blooms in the Southern Ocean …

Carbon fixation is a key metabolic function shaping marine life, but the underlying taxonomic
and functional diversity involved is only partially understood. Using metagenomic resources …

Planktonic protists are an essential component of marine pelagic ecosystems where they
mediate important trophic and biogeochemical functions. Although these functions are …

Particle fluxes at the Southern Ocean time series (SOTS) site in the Subantarctic Zone (SAZ)
south of Australia (∼ 47° S,∼ 142° E, 4600 m water depth) were collected from 1997–2017 …

Planktonic calcifiers, the foraminiferal species Neogloboquadrina pachyderma and
Turborotalita quinqueloba, and the thecosome pteropod Limacina helicina from plankton …

In response to climate change, biodiversity patterns in the oceans are predicted to shift
rapidly, thus increasing the need for efficient monitoring methods. Environmental DNA …

The fossil record of coccolithophores dates back approximately 225 million years, and the
production of their calcite platelets (coccoliths) contributes to the global carbon cycle over …

The sensitivity of coccolithophores to changing CO2 and its role modulating cellular
photosynthetic carbon isotopic fractionation (εp) is crucial to understand the future …

Abstract The Southern Ocean is experiencing rapid and profound changes in its physical
and biogeochemical properties that may influence the distribution and composition of …
