Anthropogenic forcings have led to multifaceted changes in the seas around China, which
include the Bohai, Yellow, East China and South China Seas, affecting the functions and …

A planetary-scale understanding of the ocean ecosystem, particularly in light of climate
change, is crucial. Here, we review the work of Tara Oceans, an international …

Ocean and coastal ecosystems support life on Earth and many aspects of human well-being.
Covering two-thirds of the planet, the ocean hosts vast biodiversity and modulates the global …

The future response of marine ecosystem diversity to continued anthropogenic forcing is
poorly constrained. Phytoplankton are a diverse set of organisms that form the base of the …

Climate change is fundamentally altering marine and coastal ecosystems on a global scale.
While the effects of ocean warming and acidification on ecology and ecosystem functions …

Marine phytoplankton and zooplankton form the basis of the ocean's food-web, yet the
impacts of climate change on their biodiversity are poorly understood. Here, we use an …

Protists are the dominant eukaryotes in the biosphere where they play key functional roles.
While protists have been studied for over a century, it is the high-throughput sequencing of …

Bacteria are essential parts of ecosystems and are the most diverse organisms on the
planet. Yet, we still do not know which habitats support the highest diversity of bacteria …

Genome-scale stoichiometric modeling of metabolism has become a standard systems
biology tool for modeling cellular physiology and growth. Extensions of this approach are …

Molecular phylogenetics of microbial eukaryotes has reshaped the tree of life by
establishing broad taxonomic divisions, termed supergroups, that supersede the traditional …
