In this review, the general background is provided on cyanobacteria, including morphology,
cell membrane structure, and their photosynthesis pathway. The presence of cyanobacteria …

Harmful cyanobacterial blooms (= cyanoHABs) are an increasing feature of many
waterbodies throughout the world. Many bloom-forming species produce toxins, making …

Ecological niche differences are necessary for stable species coexistence but are often
difficult to discern. Models of dietary niche differentiation in large mammalian herbivores …

A single-source reference on the biology of algae, the third edition of Algae: Anatomy,
Biochemistry, and Biotechnology examines the most important taxa and structures for …

Trait-based approaches are increasingly used in ecology. Phytoplankton communities, with
a rich history as model systems in community ecology, are ideally suited for applying and …

Freshwater ecosystems underpin global water and food security, yet are some of the most
endangered ecosystems in the world because they are particularly vulnerable to land …

Abstract Changes in marine plankton communities driven by environmental variability
impact the marine food web and global biogeochemical cycles of carbon and other …

A key challenge in ecology is to understand how nutrients and light affect the biodiversity
and community structure of phytoplankton and plant communities. According to resource …

In addition to answering Hutchinson's question “Why are there so many species?”, we need
to understand why certain species are found only under certain environmental conditions …

Several studies have described that cyanobacteria use blue light less efficiently for
photosynthesis than most eukaryotic phototrophs, but comprehensive studies of this …
