Toxic and non-toxic dinoflagellates host distinct bacterial communities in their phycospheres by Yunyan Deng, Kui Wang, Zhangxi Hu, Qiang Hu, Ying Zhong Tang

“…Abstract Dinoflagellates encompass highly abundant and diverse toxin-producing species among marine phytoplankton. Previous works suggested that some bacterial taxa may affect toxins production in dinoflagellates, however, little is known about impact of toxic dinoflagellates on their co-existing bacterial flora. …”

Sequential variations of phytoplankton growth and mortality in an NPZ model: A remote-sensing-based assessment by Roy, S, Broomhead, D, Platt, T, Sathyendranath, S, Ciavatta, S

“…With the help of these data it is possible to understand certain variations in biological responses of marine phytoplankton on ecological time scales. Here, we implement a sequential data-assimilation technique to estimate from a conventional nutrient-phytoplankton-zooplankton (NPZ) model the time variations of observed and unobserved variables. …”

Late Neogene nannofossil assemblages as tracers of ocean circulation and paleoproductivity over the NW Australian shelf by B.-T. Karatsolis, J. Henderiks

“…In this study, we investigate two astronomically tuned calcareous nannofossil time series from IODP Sites U1463 and U1464 to track long-term changes in ocean circulation and water column stratification, which influences the availability of nutrients in the upper photic zone and is considered to be a primary control on the (paleo)productivity of marine phytoplankton. By documenting shifts in the dominant species within the nannofossil assemblages and comparing these to paleotemperature gradients between the NW Australian shelf and the eastern Indian Ocean, we identify a significant change in the ecological and oceanographic regime that occurred across the Miocene–Pliocene boundary (5.4–5.2 Ma), which can be attributed to an overall intensification of the upper water column mixing over the shelf. …”

An explanation for the 18O excess in Noelaerhabdaceae coccolith calcite. by Rickaby, R, Hermoso, M, Minoletti, F, Aloisi, G, Bonifacie, M, McClelland, H, Labourdette, N, Renforth, P, Chaduteau, C

“…Applying the passive diffusion model of carbon acquisition by the marine phytoplankton widely used in biogeochemical and palaeoceanographic studies, our results suggest that the oxygen isotope offsets from inorganic calcite in fast dividing species Emiliania huxleyi and Gephyrocapsa oceanica originates from the legacy of assimilated 18O-rich CO2 that induces transient isotopic disequilibrium to the internal dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) pool. …”
