In our new research, published today in Nature, we explored the ability of tiny marine organisms called plankton to adapt to ...

Yet these tiny organisms — called plankton — may be unable to thrive in the rapidly warming oceans, according to a pair of ...

Some plankton eat other plankton. That in turn gets eaten by fish and then marine mammals, so energy transfers further up the food chain. As it photosynthesises, phytoplankton is also a natural ...

Even for those who forgo eating fish, plankton are crucial for preventing climate change from getting even worse than it is. When foraminifera form their shells, they bind carbon with calcium to ...

Phytoplankton produce around 50% of the world’s oxygen. So every second breath we take comes from marine algae, while the rest comes from plants on land. Some plankton eat other plankton. That in turn ...
