Some diatoms of the genera Pseudo-nitzschia and Nitzschia produce the neurotoxin domoic
acid (DA), a compound that caused amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) in humans just over …

Marine protists have traditionally been assumed to be lowly diverse and cosmopolitan. Yet,
several recent studies have shown that many protist species actually consist of cryptic …

The rapid physical changes affecting the Arctic Ocean alter the growth conditions of primary
producers. In this context, a crucial question is whether these changes will affect the …

Abstract Diatoms of the Arctic Ocean annually experience extreme changes of light
environment linked to photoperiodic cycles and seasonal variations of the snow and sea‐ice …

Over the seasons, Arctic diatom species occupy shifting habitats defined by contrasting light
climates, constrained by snow and ice cover dynamics interacting with extreme photoperiod …

Chaetoceros is a species‐rich genus of marine planktonic diatoms that play an important
role in marine ecosystems both as primary producers and as species causing harmful algal …

Information on taxa distribution is a prerequisite for many research fields, and biological
records are a major source of data contributing to biogeographic studies. The Global …

It has been accepted that we know less than 10% of the identified diversity in the marine
microbial world and the diatoms are no exception. Even the species that we think we can …

The species-rich diatom family Chaetocerotaceae is common in the coastal marine
phytoplankton worldwide where it is responsible for a substantial part of the primary …

Understanding the processes that shape the community structure of Arctic phytoplankton is
crucial for predicting responses of Arctic ecosystems to the ongoing ocean warming. In …
