Prochlorococcus is both the smallest and numerically most abundant photosynthesizing
organism on the planet. While thriving in the warm oligotrophic gyres, Prochlorococcus …

Microzooplankton communities are fundamental components of marine food webs and have
the potential to impact the functioning of carbon pumps. The identification of common …

Unraveling how climate warming affects microorganisms and the underlying mechanisms
has been a hot topic in climate change and microbial ecology. To date, many studies have …

Understanding how marine microbial food webs and their ecosystem functions are changing
is crucial for projections of the future ocean. Often, simplified food web models are employed …

Coccolithophores are key components of phytoplankton communities, exerting a critical
impact on the global carbon cycle and the Earth's climate through the production of …

Phytoplankton play a central role in the regulation of global carbon and nutrient cycles,
forming the basis of the marine food webs. A group of biogeochemically important …

Food chains and food webs describe the structure of communities and their energy flows,
and they present interactions between species. Recently, diverse methods have been …

Pelagic copepods often couple the classical and microbial food webs by feeding on
microzooplankton (eg ciliates) in oligotrophic aquatic systems, and this consumption can …

Many coastal oceans experience not only increased loads of nutrients but also changes in
the stoichiometry of nutrient supply. Excess supply of nitrogen and stable or decreased …
