Zooplankton are major consumers of phytoplankton primary production in marine
ecosystems. As such, they represent a critical link for energy and matter transfer between …

The open ocean carbonate pump represents the production and downward flux of
particulate inorganic carbon (PIC) in the form of calcium carbonate synthesized by calcifying …

Foraminifera are a species-rich phylum of rhizarian protists that are highly abundant in most
marine environments. Molecular methods such as metabarcoding have revealed a high, yet …

The trophic strategies of cold-water planktonic foraminifera are not well understood due to
the challenge of culturing them in polar conditions. Here, we identify previously unknown …

Abstract The Fram Strait plays a crucial role in regulating the heat and sea‐ice dynamics in
the Arctic. In response to the ongoing global warming, the marine biota of this Arctic gateway …

Marine sinking particles sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide to the deep ocean via the
biological carbon pump. Understanding how environmental shifts drive changes in the …

The nature and extent of diversity in the plankton has fascinated scientists for over a century.
Initially, the discovery of many new species in the remarkably uniform and unstructured …

With ongoing warming and sea ice loss, the Arctic Ocean and its marginal seas as a habitat
for pelagic calcifiers are changing, possibly resulting in modifications of the regional …

Planktonic foraminifera are one of the primary calcifiers in the modern ocean, contributing
23%–56% of total global pelagic carbonate production. However, a mechanistic …

Planktonic foraminifera are important calcifiers in the modern ocean. Despite this
importance, the main functions of foraminifera's test and ornamentation such as spines are …
