Carotenoids in algae: distributions, biosyntheses and functions

S Takaichi - Marine drugs, 2011 - mdpi.com
For photosynthesis, phototrophic organisms necessarily synthesize not only chlorophylls but
also carotenoids. Many kinds of carotenoids are found in algae and, recently, taxonomic …

Greenhouse gas emissions from African lakes are no longer a blind spot

Winter and spring controls on the summer food web of the coastal West Antarctic Peninsula

GK Saba, WR Fraser, VS Saba, RA Iannuzzi… - Nature …, 2014 - nature.com
Understanding the mechanisms by which climate variability affects multiple trophic levels in
food webs is essential for determining ecosystem responses to climate change. Here we use …

Rising CO2 and increased light exposure synergistically reduce marine primary productivity

K Gao, J Xu, G Gao, Y Li, DA Hutchins, B Huang… - Nature climate …, 2012 - nature.com
Carbon dioxide and light are two major prerequisites of photosynthesis. Rising CO2 levels in
oceanic surface waters in combination with ample light supply are therefore often …
