Picophytoplankton of the Northeast U.S. Shelf: Community Composition and Dynamics by Stevens, Bethany Lynn Fowler

“…Predicting the response of marine ecosystems to these changes requires mechanistic knowledge of picophytoplankton ecology. This thesis uses a combination of long-term monitoring, cruise data, population models, and high-throughput sequencing to investigate the dynamics of picophytoplankton across scales of space and time that are relevant both to the physiology of the individual cells and to the structure of the Northeast U.S. …”
