The diversity of the morphologies, propulsion mechanisms, flow environments, and
behaviors of planktonic microorganisms has long provided inspiration for fluid physicists …

The scaling of metabolic rate with the size of algae has been discussed and researched at
length. The observation that algae usually have exponents b in the equation R= a· W− b …

Smart active particles can acquire some limited knowledge of the fluid environment from
simple mechanical cues and exert a control on their preferred steering direction. Their goal …

Patchiness plays a fundamental role in phytoplankton ecology by dictating the rate at which
individual cells encounter each other and their predators. The distribution of motile …

This unique textbook takes a broad look at the rapidly expanding field of freshwater
microbiology. Concentrating on the interactions between viruses, bacteria, algae, fungi and …

This modern textbook of biological oceanography is aimed atstudents taking oceanography,
marine biology and marine sciencescourses. It covers recent developments such as the …

Marine phytoplankton inhabit a dynamic environment where turbulence, together with
nutrient and light availability, shapes species fitness, succession and selection,. Many …

Dinoflagellate microalgae are an important source of marine biotoxins. Bioactives from
dinoflagellates are attracting increasing attention because of their impact on the safety of …

Dinoflagellates are a major aquatic protist group with amphiesma, multiple cortical
membranous “cell wall” layers that contain large circum-cortical alveolar sacs (AVs). AVs …

The link between sea surface salinity (SSS) and dinoflagellate cyst morphology was studied
quantitatively in cores of Late Quaternary mud from the Black, Marmara and Aegean seas …
