Differences in tolerance to anthropogenic stress between invasive and native bivalves
Tolerance towards environmental stress has been frequently considered as one of the key
determinants of invasion success. However, empirical evidence supporting the assumption …

Degree of oligotrophy controls the response of microbial plankton to Saharan dust
To determine the effects of Saharan dust on the abundance, biomass, community structure,
and metabolic activity of oceanic microbial plankton, we conducted eight bioassay …

Role of bacterial community composition as a driver of the small-sized phytoplankton community structure in a productive coastal system
We present here the first detailed description of the seasonal patterns in bacterial community
composition (BCC) in shelf waters off the Ría de Vigo (Spain), based on monthly samplings …

Seasonal succession of small planktonic eukaryotes inhabiting surface waters of a coastal upwelling system
Summary Small eukaryotes (0.2–20 μm cell‐size) represent a significant fraction of the
microbial plankton community in shelf waters of NW‐Spain. The community composition of …

Understanding tetrazolium reduction and the importance of substrates in measuring respiratory electron transport activity
Most of the oxygen consumption in plankton is controlled by an enzymatic complex called
the electron transport system (ETS) or the electron transport chain. To detect and measure …

Stimulation of heterotrophic and autotrophic metabolism in the mixing zone of the Kuroshio Current and northern South China Sea: Implications for export production
To evaluate the influences of the Kuroshio Current intrusion on the biogeochemistry of the
northern South China Sea (NSCS), we conducted field observations of the responses of …
