Coccolithophores are the most abundant calcifying phytoplankton in the ocean. These tiny
primary producers have an important role in the global carbon cycle, substantially …

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 …

This is an annotated species-level overview and classification of living coccolithophores. It is
primarily intended to act as an aide memoire to coccolithophorid taxonomy, with brief notes …

Most of what is known about the distribution of blooms of Emiliania huxleyi comes from
satellite evidence. However, patches of bright water in satellite images are not always E …

Biogeochemical cycling in marine systems is intimately linked to the activity of specific
plankton functional types (PFTs) such as diatoms, coccolithophores and nitrogen fixers …

Carbonates are the largest reservoirs of carbon on Earth. From mid‐Mesozoic time, the
biologically catalyzed precipitation of calcium carbonates by pelagic phytoplankton has …

Coccolithophores are one of the most abundant eukaryotic phytoplankton in the oceans and
are distinguished by their ability to build calcitic platelets (coccoliths). Of the numerous …

A generalized coccolithophore bloom classifier has been developed for use with ocean
color imagery. The bloom classifier was developed using extracted satellite reflectance data …

In this chapter we present a revision of the biogeographical distribution of five
coccolithophorid species (Coccolithus pelagicus, Calcidiscus leptoporus, Heli-cosphaera …

Southern Ocean waters are projected to undergo profound changes in their physical and
chemical properties in the coming decades. Coccolithophore blooms in the Southern Ocean …
