The biological carbon pump transports photosynthetically fixed carbon from surface waters
to depths. It removes carbon from the atmosphere and sequesters it in the deep ocean …

Siliceous Rhizaria (polycystine radiolarians and phaeodarians) are significant contributors
to carbon and silicon biogeochemical cycles. Considering their broad taxonomic diversity …

Sinking particles are important in delivering carbon to the deep ocean where it may be
stored out of contact with the atmosphere. Whilst particle sinking velocities are known to be …

Sinking is part of diatom life history. Typically, by the end of a bloom, diatoms form
aggregates that sink rapidly to the bottom. This opportunistic lifestyle can be considered an …

In the last decades, the Arctic Ocean has been affected by climate change, leading to
alterations in the sea ice cover that influence the phytoplankton spring bloom, its associated …

Harmful blooms of nanophytoplankton (2–20 μm) are increasingly common and sometimes
severe, but requirements and controls of such blooms (eg, water quality constraints …

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) severely threaten estuarine and coastal ecosystems in recent
decades. The adverse impacts of HABs on zooplankton have been extensively studied …

Abstract Changes in epibenthic copepod populations markedly affect the population of
benthic dwelling animals in rivers, estuaries and marine ecosystems. Unfortunately, studies …

Mass production of microalgal biodiesel is hindered by microalgae harvesting efficiency and
costs. In this study, Daphnia domesticated by amino acids were used to harvest microalgae …

Phytoplankton stoichiometry and cell size could result from both phenology and
environmental change. Zooplankton graze on primary producers, and this drives both the …
