Climate warming increasingly drives changes in large-scale ocean physics and
biogeochemistry, and affects the kinetics of biological reactions. Together these factors …

Much has been published on the effects of ocean acidification on plankton since the original
Royal Society 2005 report. In addition to direct effects on primary production, it is clear that …

Marine phytoplankton generate half of global primary production, making them essential to
ecosystem functioning and biogeochemical cycling. Though phytoplankton are …

Marine phytoplankton play important roles in the global ecosystem, with a limited number of
cosmopolitan keystone species driving their biomass. Recent studies have revealed that …

Major biogeographic features of the microbial seascape in the oceans have been
established and their underlying ecological mechanisms in the (sub) tropical oceans and the …

The deep biosphere is the largest microbial habitat on Earth and features abundant bacterial
endospores. Whereas dormancy and survival at theoretical energy minima are hallmarks of …

Algal blooms in lakes are a major hazard worldwide. Although various geographical and
environmental patterns affect algal communities during river-lake transit, a thorough …

Aim Dispersal and environmental gradients shape marine microbial communities, yet the
relative importance of these factors across taxa with distinct sizes and dispersal capacity in …

Marine microbes like diatoms make up the base of marine food webs and drive global
nutrient cycles. Despite their key roles in ecology, biogeochemistry, and biotechnology, we …

Abiotic niche lability reduces extinction risk by allowing species to adapt to changing
environmental conditions in situ. In contrast, species with static niches must keep pace with …
