The prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms that drive the pelagic ocean's
biogeochemical cycles are currently facing an unprecedented set of comprehensive …

The world's oceans are a major sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). The biological
carbon pump plays a vital role in the net transfer of CO2 from the atmosphere to the oceans …

Global warming in ocean ecosystems alters temperature, acidification, oxygen content,
circulation, stratification, and nutrient inputs. Microorganisms play a dominant role in global …

Coccoliths are calcitic particles produced inside the cells of unicellular marine algae known
as coccolithophores. They are abundant components of sea-floor carbonates, and the …

Marine algae are instrumental in carbon cycling and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2)
regulation. One group, coccolithophores, uses carbon to photosynthesize and to calcify …

Large-scale magmatic events like the emplacement of the North Atlantic Igneous Province
(NAIP) are often coincident with periods of extreme climate change such as the Palaeocene …

Coccolithophores are globally abundant, calcifying microalgae that have profound effects on
marine biogeochemical cycles, the climate, and life in the oceans. They are characterized by …

Calcification and biomass production by planktonic marine organisms influences the global
carbon cycle and fuels marine ecosystems. The major calcifying plankton group …

How species respond to climate change may impact their extinction probability. Here we link
climatology and ecology to tackle a globally important conservation question. For sea turtles …

Southern Ocean waters are projected to undergo profound changes in their physical and
chemical properties in the coming decades. Coccolithophore blooms in the Southern Ocean …
