Timing the initiation of sex: Delay mechanisms alter fitness outcomes in a rotifer population model

The paper models rotifer population dynamics with a 'mictic block' mechanism, finding that shorter blocks are more successful under variable growing season lengths.

Small phytoplankton community composition cycles annually with a coastal bloom

The paper examines annual cycles in small phytoplankton community composition using 18S rRNA sequencing and flow cytometry data from a coastal site on the Northeast U.S. Shelf, identifying key taxa and seasonal patterns.
