Phototrophic protists are a fundamental component of the world's oceans by serving as the
primary source of energy, oxygen, and organic nutrients for the entire ecosystem. Due to the …

The seasonally ice-covered marine region of the European Arctic has experienced warming
and sea ice loss in the last two decades. During expeditions in August 2020 and 2021, new …

Unicellular eukaryotic plankton communities (protists) are the major basis of the marine food
web. The spring bloom is especially important, because of its high biomass. However, it is …

The long‐term dynamics of microbial communities across geographic, hydrographic, and
biogeochemical gradients in the Arctic Ocean are largely unknown. To address this, we …

Rising temperature is one of the most visible effects of global change on Earth; however, it is
barely known how moderate or extreme warming events impact the trophic interactions and …

Ocean warming is especially pronounced in the Arctic, and phytoplankton will face
thermodynamically driven changes in their physiology, potentially pushing them beyond …

Simple Summary Of all the Arctic seas, the prokaryotic communities of the Barents Sea are
the most affected by climate change and are strongly influenced by microbiota from the …

The Arctic warming leads to a decline in sea-ice extent and thickness, rapid warming and
freshening of the sea surface which impact the distribution of phytoplankton size …

Primary production in aquatic systems is governed by interactions between microalgae and
their associated bacteria. Most of our knowledge about algal microbiomes stems from …

Polar regions play critical roles in the function of the Earth's climate system, many of which
are underpinned by their endemic biota. Whilst being home to some of the world's best …
