The paper compares implicit and explicit representations of viral dynamics in marine ecosystem models, finding that explicit models better capture virus-induced mortality effects on phytoplankton blooms.

The paper models viral impacts on ocean productivity and biogeochemistry, showing that high viral shunt efficiency enhances productivity across much of the global ocean.

This study shows that higher-order interactions and density-dependent feedback stabilize phage-bacteria communities, challenging pairwise model predictions of population collapse.

The paper identifies viral shunt activity as a driver of seasonal subsurface oxygen maxima in the Sargasso Sea by linking elevated cyanophage activity and bacterial catabolism.

The paper samples and analyzes viruses in the Bermuda Atlantic Time Series to reveal population-level dynamics and functional differences, but not community-level changes over short timeframes.

The paper shows that in the phosphorus-limited Sargasso Sea, different microbes uptake phosphorus at different times of day, supporting temporal niche partitioning.

The paper analyzes pigment and metatranscriptomic data to show synchronized diel patterns of phytoplankton light response across domains in the open ocean.
