Scientists' yearlong study on Antarctic microbial communities reveals how climate change alters bacterial and phytoplankton ...

Watching phytoplankton illuminate the world's shores is an otherworldly experience. With a bit of luck and perseverance, ...

from the deepest sea trenches to the water’s surface, where they get caught in algae. Microplastics can then block phytoplankton from receiving enough sunlight to survive. (Additionally ...

Dead octopuses have been found along South Australian beaches as environment authorities say a micro-algae bloom could be to ...

The robot can do something that her water sampler can't: It can find its way to the tightest concentration of phytoplankton in the water column. Their findings are published in the journal PLOS ONE.

To do this effectively phytoplankton floats near the water’s surface. Plankton bunches together and forms a plankton bloom. These blooms provide food for a huge variety of species. Every summer ...

Ecosystems face a combination of stressors that can interact in complex ways, leading to either synergistic (amplifying) or ...

The Dalhouise researchers used about 100,000 water-column profiles from the floats to describe Earth's phytoplankton carbon biomass and its spatiotemporal variability. The floats measure ...

The ocean covers nearly three-quarters of our planet but scientists say we have barely scratched the surface of what lives in ...

Nuisance phytoplankton blooms in coastal ... Climate change: links to global expansion of harmful cyanobacteria. Water Research 46, 1349-63 (2012). Porter, K. G. The plant-animal interface ...
