Throughout their evolutionary history, bacteria have faced diverse threats from other
microorganisms, including competing bacteria, bacteriophages and predators. In response …

One-quarter of photosynthesis-derived carbon on Earth rapidly cycles through a set of short-
lived seawater metabolites that are generated from the activities of marine phytoplankton …

Modern life is intimately linked to the availability of fossil fuels, which continue to meet the
world's growing energy needs even though their use drives climate change, exhausts finite …

The underlying mechanisms that influence microplastic ingestion in marine zooplankton
remain poorly understood. Here, we investigate how microplastics of a variety of shapes …

As blooms of cyanobacteria expand and intensify in freshwater systems globally, there is
increasing interest in their ecological effects. In addition to being public health hazards …

Rising anthropogenic CO2 emissions are anticipated to drive change to ocean ecosystems,
but a conceptualization of biological change derived from quantitative analyses is lacking …

The ubiquitous detection of microplastics in aquatic ecosystems promotes the concern for
adverse impacts on freshwater ecosystems. The wide variety of material types, sizes …

The cycling of major nutrients in the ocean is affected by large-scale phytoplankton blooms,
which are hot spots of microbial life. Diverse microbial interactions regulate bloom dynamics …

Chemical cues constitute much of the language of life in the sea. Our understanding of biotic
interactions and their effects on marine ecosystems will advance more rapidly if this …

Marine algae produce a cocktail of halogenated metabolites with potential commercial
value. Structures exhibited by these compounds go from acyclic entities with a linear chain …
