@aaronjbecker.bsky.socialAbout half the oxygen you breathe was made by phytoplankton. A year of them from orbit, Sept 2025 to Sept 2026, on a map where every ocean is one body of water. Watch the polar night swallow each pole in turn.

@worldunderthewaves.bsky.socialHappy World Habitat Day 🧊
Even sea ice can provide valuable living space, particularly for the masses of diatoms growing underneath (hence the yellow stains). Krill will then feed on these microalgae, the same krill that whales often feast on in polar waters.
@muser.pressSatellite chlorophyll may reveal only a fraction of daily #phytoplankton biomass extremes. Modelling shows that missing observations and differences between surface chlorophyll and deeper biomass both limit what can be detected from space. doi.org/rrt7

@natcomms.nature.comProchlorococcus cyanobacteria form biofilms on particles & dynamically transition between free-living and attached states with significantly different physiology
That impacts carbon release, thus suggesting a role in carbon export to the deep sea

@thewild.newsA robotic glider found some giant chains of phytoplankton floating in the Mediterranean Sea. #phytoplankton
@oded-liran.bsky.socialAquatic science is coming to the #Kinneret this December! Dr. Yael Amitai is organizing the annual IAAS conference, and Dr. Shani Shoham and Dr. Oded Bergman will lead a session on #phytoplankton #physiology. Registration is open: israelaquatic.sites.tau.ac.il/2026-meeting...

@sebastianneun.bsky.socialVery much enjoyed this year's joint #nsogfö2026 conference hosted by @nordicoikos.bsky.social and @gfoesoc.bsky.social in beautiful Odense, Denmark!
Loved coming together to talk about #phytoplankton and #bacteria in a multifactorial and variable world!
@bigelowlab.bsky.socialTapping into Algae’s Limitless Potential: This summer, #BigelowLab 's NCMA grew Nannochloropsis oculata for Rising Tide Brewing Company's newest brew, Buckingham Red. Research Technician Lydia Pinard tasted it, noting: “Fruity, hoppy, and well-balanced!” 📸: Lydia Pinard. #phytoplankton #maine
@aillimnologia.bsky.social#Phytoplankton Functional Group V sensu #Reynolds in Shallow #Macrophyte-Dominated #Wetlands: Indications Beyond Stratified Lakes. A new online first article published in #Limnetica by Detelina Belkinova, Mihaela Beshkova, Miroslav Ivanov and Monika Subeva. Access: www.limnetica.com/en/limnetica...
@wendelvandersluis.bsky.socialWhat can Antarctic waters reveal about Pseudo-nitzschia? Inna V. Stonik examined #Phytoplankton from the Weddell Sea and identified P. chiniana based on its distinctive morphological features. 1/3
@natcomms.nature.comThe current #phytoplankton experiments and simulations show that #biodiversity enhances ecosystem stability beyond expectations from monocultures, depending on species interactions and thermal trait alignment.
