Coccolithophores are one of the main groups of marine phytoplankton playing key roles in
the marine eco-system as primary producers and in marine biogeochemistry. These …

Body size is a central feature of any organism, reflecting its physiology, ecology and
evolutionary history. Marine microplankton are major contributors to the particulate inorganic …

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 …

Uptake of half of the fossil fuel CO2 into the ocean causes gradual seawater acidification.
This has been shown to slow down calcification of major calcifying groups, such as corals …

To help understand potential biases in coccolithophore paleo-biodiversity estimates various
aspects of their biology are reviewed based on the recent monographic guide to extant …

Late Pleistocene coccolith data of ODP Site 1082 from the eastern South Atlantic off Namibia
were analysed to document spatial and temporal changes in surface–ocean circulation …

Acting as titans in global control of the biosphere and colonizing virtually all corners of the
earth, algae, extremely diverse and numerous oxygenic, photosynthetic organisms, can be …

In this study the coccolithophore compositions of 11 plankton depth stations along a N–S
transect from the South Atlantic Subtropical Gyre to the Subantarctic Zone were examined …

Microalgae of the division Haptophyta are a major component of the marine nanoplankton
and present in all seas. They are important primary producers and grazers of picoplankton in …

Haptophytes are photosynthetic protists found in both freshwater and marine environments
with an origin possibly dating back to the Neoproterozoic era. The most recent molecular …
