The paper analyzes a decade-long time series to study bacterial bloomers in marine microbial communities, finding recurrent blooms across diverse taxa and highlighting their ecological relevance.

The paper examines parasite-host interactions between Perkinsea parasitoids and dinoflagellate blooms, finding that parasitoid diversity and distribution are shaped by host preferences and abundance.

The paper quantifies predictability in microbial plankton dynamics using a Recurrence Index applied to 18S rDNA metabarcoding data from a 10-year marine plankton observatory, finding 13% and 19% of picoeukaryotic and nanoeukaryotic species exhibit predictable dynamics.
