Oct. 25, 2023 Recently discovered microfossils date back half a billion years. Resembling modern-day algae, they provide insight into early life in our ...
Feb. 5, 2024 New research sheds light on tiny plankton, which measure less than 0.02mm in diameter but can make up more than 70% of the plankton biomass found in the ...
Nov. 2, 2021 A new analysis suggests that the movement of plankton and plankton-eating fish play a central role in driving local spikes of extreme biological productivity in tropical coral reefs, creating ...
Feb. 4, 2022 The first unified vision of the world ocean biodiversity, based on analysis of DNA sequences from the surface to deep-ocean sediments, unveils the rich and unknown life in the abyssal realm, the last ...
Nov. 10, 2021 Eukaryotic plankton are an essential and highly diverse component of marine ecosystems. A research team has established their global geographic distribution using DNA data and a probabilistic model. ...
Nov. 29, 2022 Iron-based fertilizer may stimulate plankton to pull carbon dioxide from the ocean, driving a carbon-negative ...
July 2, 2021 Nitrogen is essential for all life on Earth. In the global oceans however, this element is scarce, and nitrogen availability is therefore critical for the growth of marine life. Some bacteria found ...
Oct. 15, 2021 Ocean warming caused by anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions will prompt many species of marine plankton to seek out new habitats, in some cases as a matter of survival. Researchers expect many ...
Aug. 16, 2021 As the Arctic Ocean warms and sea ice shrinks, will the newly exposed sea surface see a plankton population boom and a burgeoning ecosystem in the open Arctic Ocean? Not likely, say a team of ...
July 11, 2022 The amount of carbon stored by microscopic plankton will increase in the coming century, predict ...
