Nutrient availability is one of the major factors regulating marine productivity and phytoplankton community structure. While the response of phytoplankton species to nutrient variation is relatively well known, that of ...

Changes to the structure of the phytoplankton community and to the physical and chemical variables of the water were investigated in oxbow lakes with different levels of connection to a tropical river and subject to annual ...

Changes in the plankton community structure were studied during the beginning (May 1991) and the end (October 1991) of the stratification parid in Bahía Concepción, Baja California Sur. Temperature, size-fractionated ...

In addition to answering Hutchinson's question "Why are there so many species?", we need to understand why certain species are found only under certain environmental conditions and not others. Trait-based approaches are ...

Phytoplankton are key players in the global carbon cycle, contributing about half of global primary productivity. Within the phytoplankton, functional groups (characterized by distinct traits) have impacts on other major ...

The phytoplankton community of three eutrophic shallow lakes located in the same geographical area was compared over a period of three years. Although these lakes are similar in many respects (e.g. location, origin, average ...
