Stirring the Gyre: How ocean mixing sustains hidden diversity
Linking microbial populations to the histories of the water they inhabit, a new CBIOMES study demonstrates how mesoscale stirring regulates phytoplankton diversity in the subtropical gyre. Continue reading Stirring the Gyre: How ocean mixing sustains hidden diversity
Climate change may produce “fast-food” phytoplankton
With warmer ocean temperatures, the composition of marine plankton could shift from protein-rich to carb-heavy, a new study suggests. Continue reading Climate change may produce “fast-food” phytoplankton
