Plankton, the base of the food chain for marine ecosystems worldwide, are facing potential dangers as the oceans warm. This ...

Discover how plankton, the ocean's microscopic marvels, play a vital role in oxygen production and carbon sequestration.

The two new dinoflagellate phytoplankton have never been seen in Florida. While some dinoflagellates are scary like red tide, ...

Leveraging the food of tiny phytoplankton could trap carbon and sequester it to the ocean’s bottom.

Plankton, the key ingredient of the primordial ocean soup that allows all life to flourish, are central to a new U.N. manifesto highlighting the big role microscopic creatures can play in tackling the ...

Researchers developed a microscope made to travel - miniature in scale, fast in imaging samples, and giant in resolution.

The paper introduces Ukiyo-e-Seq, a novel method integrating microscopy with single-cell transcriptomics to study individual, uncultured eukaryotic plankton cells. By combining microscopic imaging ...
