In recent decades, the increase in terrestrial inputs to freshwater and coastal ecosystems,
especially occurring at northern latitudes, has led to a process of water color darkening …

To identify the effect of microzooplankton grazing on phytoplankton abundance and size
structure, we quantified phytoplankton growth and herbivorous grazing rates throughout the …

In the subtropical gyres, phytoplankton rely on eddies for transporting nutrients from depth to
the euphotic zone. But, what controls the rate of nutrient supply for new production? We …

Planktonic communities in aquatic ecosystems are crucial water quality indicators, with their
growth dependent on runoff chemical and hydraulic characteristics (eg, nutrient availability …

Microzooplankton grazing is an essential parameter to predict the fate of organic matter
production in planktonic food webs. To identify predictors of grazing, we leveraged a 6‐yr …

Phytoplankton monitoring is essential for the global understanding of aquatic ecosystems.
The present research studies the phytoplankton community of the Urdaibai estuary …

It remains unclear as to how mixoplankton (coupled phototrophy and phagotrophy in one
cell) affects the estimation of grazing rates obtained from the widely used dilution grazing …

Marine microbial communities in coastal environments are subject to both seasonal
fluctuations and anthropogenic alterations of environmental conditions. The separate …

The warming of the surface ocean is expected to increase the stratification of the upper
water column. This would decrease the efficiency of the wind-induced mixing, reducing the …

Jensen's inequality predicts that the response of any given system to average constant
conditions is different from its average response to varying ones. Environmental fluctuations …
