Marine algal viruses exhibit a high level of diversity, and closely related viruses targeting the same algal host species can stably coexist. Here we report an example of a single virus-host system co...
Zooplankton play a crucial role in marine food webs and biogeochemical cycles, and their rapid responses to environmental changes make them effective indicators of ecosystem health. However, limited d...
Characterizing open ocean biodiversity at basin scales remains challenging due to sparse sampling and limited opportunities to validate satellite-derived estimates of plankton community composition. T...
Suspension feeding, in which organisms filter particles from the water for nutrition, is a widespread and ecologically critical feeding strategy in aquatic ecosystems. And yet, the principles governin...
Reconstructing the recent history of marine communities is essential for evaluating climate variations and human impacts, and zooplankton is a good indicator of long-term changes. The reconstruction o...
The Southern Ocean (SO) plays a key role in regulating global biogeochemical cycles and climate, yet microbial genes sustaining its biological activity remain poorly characterized. We introduce a micr...
Marine isoprene can be rapidly oxidized once released into the atmosphere, and is suggested to play a significant role in the formation of secondary organic aerosols over remote oceans. The Arctic Oce...
The motility skills of phytoplankton have evolved and persisted over millions of years, primarily in response to factors such as nutrient and light availability, temperature and viscosity gradients, t...
Autumn phytoplankton blooms are increasingly observed in the Arctic Ocean due to more frequent strong wind events over open waters. A recent study on the Chukchi shelf suggested that diatoms in sedime...
Monstrilloid copepods have endoparasitic naupliar and postnaupliar stages infecting different groups of marine invertebrates. As adults, they have been recorded as free-swimming, non-feeding planktoni...
Macroecological patterns of life history traits, such as larval size, are fundamental to understanding the biogeography and diversity of marine invertebrates. The long-established Thorson's Rule hypot...
The paper presents the results of a complex analysis of marine particles collected during the SP-42 drifting expedition (October 2024 - March 2025) aboard the ice-resistant platform "SEVERNY POLIUS" (...
