Invariant scaling of the Species Abundance Distribution in observed and simulated marine plankton communities

The paper analyzes Species Abundance Distributions (SADs) in marine plankton communities from surveys and simulations, finding invariant scaling despite environmental and taxonomic variation.

Estimating absolute microbial abundances from metabarcoding anchored to cytometry data

This paper calibrates metabarcoding data using flow cytometry to estimate absolute microbial abundances and gene concentrations in oceanic samples.

Implicit representation of viruses fails to capture impacts of virus-induced mortality in global marine ecosystem models

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.

Seasonal patterns in Synechococcus pigment diversity at two temperate sites with contrasting oceanic regimes

This study examines seasonal pigment diversity in Synechococcus at two temperate ocean sites, revealing distinct patterns linked to environmental factors and ecological niches.

Viral impacts on plankton standing stocks, primary productivity, and biogeochemistry in a model ocean

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

Coexistence of Photosynthetic Marine Microorganisms, Viruses, and Grazers: Toward Integration in Ocean Ecosystem Models

This paper develops a community model to investigate mechanisms enabling coexistence of viruses, grazers, and phytoplankton in marine ecosystems, finding that viral life history traits and predator mortality terms are critical for stability.

Cellular-level control on global ocean deoxygenation driven by phytoplankton ecophysiology

The paper estimates phytoplankton elemental composition and shows how cellular-level changes affect global ocean oxygen consumption and hypoxic zone expansion.
