We studied the seasonal dynamics of phytoplankton, bacterioplankton, heterotrophic nanoflagellates, ciliates, and metazoan plankton in the highly eutrophic polymictic Lake Kastoria (Greece), which has ...

Phytoplankton are key players in the ocean carbon cycle. Comprised of a variety of microscopic photosynthesizing bacteria, algae, and other single-cell organisms, phytoplankton form the base of marine ...

The seawater in 24 plastic Nalgene bottles sloshed gently in the wet lab on the Bell M. Shimada, one of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s ocean research vessels. Each bottle ...

This study investigates the effect of filtrates from an allelopathic dinoflagellate, Alexandrium tamarense, on four microbial food webs that have been manipulated experimentally from natural seawater ...

DULUTH — The base of the food chain across the Great Lakes is changing in ways affecting the top of the food chain, the fish we love to catch and eat, and scientists at the Natural Resources Research ...

Humanity has a long track record of making big changes with little forethought. From fossil fuels to AI, plastics to pesticides, we love innovating away our problems, only to find we’ve created ...

The base of the food chain across the Great Lakes is changing in ways affecting the top of the food chain, the fish we love to catch and eat, and scientists at the Natural Resources Research Institute ...

THE interesting article which we publish in another column (p. 695) is of special importance inasmuch as it is from the pen of a distinguished leader in the investigation of marine plankton and its ...

Rising temperatures could reduce the efficiency of food chains and threaten the survival of larger animals, new research shows. Scientists measured the transfer of energy from single-celled algae ...

How do you find your food? Most animal species, whether they rummage through a refrigerator or stalk prey in the wild, obtain nutrients by consuming living organisms. Plants, for the most part, adopt ...
