The paper identifies two strategies for phytoplankton growth under multiple stressors and finds Prochlorococcus more vulnerable to heat stress in tropical regions.

The paper develops a modeling framework to explore phytoplankton evolutionary trajectories under climate change, showing it captures evolved phenotypes not predicted by traditional models.

The paper investigates how marine diatoms adapt to heat stress through proteomics analysis, finding that high-temperature-tolerant populations use a conservative cellular strategy under thermal stress but fail to adapt under low nitrate conditions.
