Some data suggest that current climate change have already altered the marine plankton dramatically. Global temperature records are expected to exceed the 1.5 °C threshold for the first time this ...

Yet these tiny organisms — called plankton — may be unable to thrive in the rapidly warming oceans, according to a pair of new studies. The decline of these microscopic creatures puts huge ...

A new study highlights how some marine life could face extinction over the next century, if human-induced global warming ...

Many plankton journey from the cold ... and unless they or subsequent progeny fight back, they will sink forever to the bottom of the ocean in a gravitational trap," says postdoctoral fellow ...

Plankton are a collection of tiny organisms that live at and beneath the surface of lakes, rivers, ponds, and oceans across the planet. They’re named for the Greek word planktos, meaning to ...

Some plankton cannot swim, but that doesn’t mean they can’t move. Now scientists have discovered that at least one species migrates towards the Sun by regulating its buoyancy like a submarine 1.

Some of these ecosystems are under threat; others remain unexplored. Understanding how key players such as whales, plankton, seagrasses and other forms of sea life interact sheds light on Earth ...
