The paper examines how four freshwater phytoplankton species respond transcriptionally to warming and phosphorus limitation, finding divergent responses even within phyla.

The paper uses Pareto fronts to detect evolutionary constraints on niche-determining traits in phytoplankton, showing that trade-offs persist across scales despite differing evolutionary outcomes.

The paper tracks quagga mussel population dynamics in Lake Constance, finding shallow-water saturation and deep-water expansion, contrasting with patterns in the Laurentian Great Lakes.

The paper screens 49 freshwater microalgae strains for growth under high pH and alkalinity conditions, identifying new alkaline-tolerant strains and showing that some non-extremophilic algae can thrive in extreme environments.

The paper examines how temperature and resource availability affect phytoplankton populations, finding trait combinations that suggest some species may perform well under future warm and resource-limited conditions.

This study shows that Botryococcus braunii reduces grazing losses to Daphnia and Poterioochromonas through chemical and physical defenses, increasing algal biomass in cocultures.
