Human activities are fundamentally altering biodiversity. Projections of declines at the global
scale are contrasted by highly variable trends at local scales, suggesting that biodiversity …

Scientists disagree about the nature of biodiversity change. While there is evidence for
widespread declines from population surveys, assemblage surveys reveal a mix of declines …

Abstract Motivation The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and
abundances in ecological assemblages through time. These data enable users to calculate …

Biodiversity of phytoplankton is important for ecosystem stability and marine
biogeochemistry. However, the large-scale patterns of diversity are not well understood and …

Despite their importance to ocean productivity, global patterns of marine phytoplankton
diversity remain poorly characterized. Although temperature is considered a key driver of …

The shape of the productivity–diversity relationship (PDR) for marine phytoplankton has
been suggested to be unimodal, that is, diversity peaking at intermediate levels of …

Phytoplankton size structure, a major determinant of trophic structure and biogeochemical
functioning in pelagic ecosystems, can be described by the slope of the size-abundance …

Dispersal plays a key role to connect populations and, if limited, is one of the main
processes to maintain and generate regional biodiversity. According to neutral theories of …

Phytoplankton biomass, through its proxy, Chlorophyll a, has been assessed at synoptic
temporal and spatial scales with satellite remote sensing (RS) for over two decades. Also …

We investigate the role of mixing, through its effect on nutrient and light availability, as a
driver of phytoplankton community composition in the context of Margalef's mandala. Data …
