Phytoplankton diversity explained by connectivity across a mesoscale frontal system in the open ocean
Abstract Phytoplankton community composition is important in establishing ecosystem structure and function. Intuitively, we recognize that water movements must be important for modifying spatial gradients and plankton diversity. However, identifying boundaries and exchange between habitats in the op...
