Simple Summary Currently, the development of “green” and “blue” biotechnologies, which
allow for ensuring the necessary level of economic growth without additional environmental …

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 …

Eukaryotic plankton are a core component of marine ecosystems with exceptional taxonomic
and ecological diversity, yet how their ecology interacts with the environment to drive global …

Dinoflagellates are a diverse group of ecologically significant micro-eukaryotes that can
serve as a model system for plastid symbiogenesis due to their susceptibility to plastid loss …

Phytoplankton blooms fuel marine food webs with labile dissolved carbon and also lead to
the formation of particulate organic matter composed of living and dead algal cells. These …

Marine plankton form complex communities of interacting organisms at the base of the food
web, which sustain oceanic biogeochemical cycles and help regulate climate. Although …

Syndiniales are a ubiquitous group of protist parasites that infect and kill a wide range of
hosts, including harmful bloom-forming dinoflagellates. Despite the importance of parasitism …

Diatoms form a diverse and abundant group of photosynthetic protists that are essential
players in marine ecosystems. However, the microevolutionary structure of their populations …

Diatoms are a group of phytoplankton that contribute disproportionately to global primary
production. Traditional paradigms that suggest diatoms are consumed primarily by larger …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs, diameter< 5 mm) are widely distributed on Earth, especially in
the oceans. Diatoms account for∼ 40% of marine primary productivity and affect the global …
