This study shows that vitamin B12, not iron, is the primary limiting nutrient for phytoplankton in the Southern Ocean, with implications for community composition and function.

The paper uses microbial and small plankton communities to predict baleen whale densities in the Southern California Current Ecosystem, finding strong predictive relationships with up to 99% variability explained.

The paper describes phytoplankton community composition in the oligotrophic Argo Basin during austral summer 2022, highlighting taxonomic and functional diversity across different depth layers.

The paper investigates phosphatase activity and gene expression in the California Current Ecosystem, finding atypical phosphatases drive DOP utilization despite Pi repletion.

The paper identifies and characterizes a skin microbiome on C. elegans, showing that environmental microbes protect the cuticle in harsh conditions.
