  1. Sampling methods captured large-cell eukaryotes but had limits for picocyanobacteria
    Evaluation of sampling protocols for picocyanobacteria and cyanophages in estuarine environments, addressing size fractionation limitations and filtration optimization.
  2. Choanoflagellate multicellularity can arise by clonal and aggregative routes
    Choanoeca flexa choanoflagellate uses both clonal and aggregative mechanisms to form reversible multicellular sheets, challenging conventional understanding of multicellular evolution.
  3. Phosphate shortage limits bacterial fucoidan breakdown
    Phosphate deprivation inhibits bacterial degradation of fucoidan, a marine polysaccharide, potentially enhancing carbon sequestration in oceanic systems and extending dissolved organic matter.
  4. Nutrient Uptake and Growth Kinetics of Novel Environmental Phytoplankton Isolates from the Galápagos Archipelago
    Study characterizes growth kinetics and functional traits of Galápagos phytoplankton isolates, revealing taxon-specific deviations from allometric scaling predictions.
  5. Fronts may host a distinct phytoplankton community
    Statistical framework combining finite mixtures, EM and hierarchical Bayesian inference reveals a distinct phytoplankton community comprising ~70% of observations within a Mediterranean oceanic front.
