Phytoplankton is a nineteenth century ecological construct for a biologically diverse group
of pelagic photoautotrophs that share common metabolic functions but not evolutionary …

In many community assemblages, the abundance of organisms is a power-law function of
organism size. In phytoplankton communities, changes in size structure associated with …

Anthropogenic climate change has shifted the biogeography and phenology of many
terrestrial and marine species. Marine phytoplankton communities appear sensitive to climate …

Diazotrophic (nitrogen‐fixing) cyanobacteria are important contributors of new nitrogen to
oligotrophic environments and greatly influence oceanic productivity. We investigated how iron …

Temperature change and eutrophication are known to affect phytoplankton communities, but
relatively little is known about the effects of interactions between simultaneous changes of …

Under optimal growth conditions, many metabolic rates scale to the 3/4 power of mass. We
show that resource limitation can alter this size scaling of metabolic rates if resource …

The spatial and temporal dynamics of ocean biomes and their provincial subdivisions are
affected by the dynamics of Earth's climate system, but the effect of climate change on the …

The elemental stoichiometry of microalgae reflects their underlying macromolecular composition
and influences competitive interactions among species and their role in the food web …

… Our initial results (PD Taylor and AJ Irwin, unpubl. data) show that in this case, our result 2,
that increased survival promotes altruism, will continue to hold in case the benefits of altruism …

Ocean acidification is changing the nature of inorganic carbon availability in the global oceans.
Diatoms account for µ 40% of all marine primary productivity and are major contributors …
