Drivers of metabolic density-dependence: how resource availability and conspecific cues affect phytoplankton metabolism

Ricardo Estevens, Anna Lena Heinrichs, Giulia Ghedini

The paper investigates how resource availability and conspecific cues affect metabolic suppression in phytoplankton, finding that nutrient addition can reverse metabolic suppression and that respiration is more responsive to cues than photosynthesis.

Evolution under competition increases phytoplankton production by reducing the density-dependence of net energy fluxes and growth

Charlotte Louise Briddon, Ricardo Estevens, Giulia Ghedini

The paper shows that competition drives phytoplankton evolution, increasing biovolume production through metabolic changes that reduce density-dependent growth limitations.
