Ocean color satellites have provided a synoptic view of global phytoplankton for over 25
years through near surface measurements of the concentration of chlorophyll a. While …

Pigmentation is often overlooked in zooplankton, since these organisms are mostly colorless
to fit the translucid water medium. However, one of the dominant zooplankton taxa in aquatic …

Diatoms are a group of phytoplankton that contribute disproportionately to global primary
production. Traditional paradigms that suggest diatoms are consumed primarily by larger …

Microalgae classification is important for aquatic environment monitoring, but it is difficult in
some in-situ cases. The Mueller matrix is known to encode the physical properties including …

Plankton are excellent indicators of ecosystem status and fisheries because of their pivotal
role in marine food webs and their core values in the integrated ecosystem assessment …

In marine ecosystems, most physiological, ecological, or physical processes are size
dependent. These include metabolic rates, the uptake of carbon and other nutrients …

Zooplankton are fundamental to aquatic ecosystem services such as carbon and nutrient
cycling. Therefore, a robust evidence base of how zooplankton respond to changes in …

In the face of the global biodiversity crisis, collecting comprehensive data and making the
best use of existing data are becoming increasingly important to understand patterns and …

Zooplankton analysis represents a bottleneck in marine ecology studies due to the difficulty
to obtain zooplankton data. The last decades have seen the intense development of …

As the basis of oceanic food webs and a key component of the biological carbon pump,
planktonic organisms play major roles in the oceans. Their study benefited from the …
