    Global SEM coccolithophore abundance compilation (2020)
    PANGAEA
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-11-25
    Description: Coccolithophores are globally important marine calcifying phytoplankton. They contribute to the organic carbon pump through the primary production and the ballast of organic matter, and to the carbonate pump through the production of calcium carbonate. Here we compiled all available scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coccolithophore abundance observations. Taxa were standardized following NannoTax3 to a species level where possible. Subspecies (e.a. C. leptoporus subsp. leptoporus and C. leptoporus subsp. quadriperforatus) were grouped as single species. The database contains 2556 abundance observations from 35 different publications. The data span the period of 1993-2017, with observations from all ocean basins and all seasons, and at depths ranging from the surface to 5000 m. We limited our compilation to SEM observations (or observations which further identified samples with SEM) because SEM provides greater detail of coccolithophore diversity than more commonly used polarized light microscopy. Although this limits the number of observations, this allows for a more in-depth analysis of coccolithophore ecology, such as the ecological significance of the coccolithophore life cycle.

    Why marine phytoplankton calcify (2016)
    AAAS
    In:  Science Advances, 2 (7). e1501822-e1501822.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-09-23
    Description: Calcifying marine phytoplankton - coccolithophores — are some of the most successful yet enigmatic organisms in the ocean and are at risk from global change. To better understand how they will be affected, we need to know “why” coccolithophores calcify. We review coccolithophorid evolutionary history and cell biology as well as insights from recent experiments to provide a critical assessment of the costs and benefits of calcification. We conclude that calcification has high energy demands and that coccolithophores might have calcified initially to reduce grazing pressure but that additional benefits such as protection from photodamage and viral/bacterial attack further explain their high diversity and broad spectrum ecology. The cost-benefit aspect of these traits is illustrated by novel ecosystem modeling, although conclusive observations remain limited. In the future ocean, the trade-off between changing ecological and physiological costs of calcification and their benefits will ultimately decide how this important group is affected by ocean acidification and global warming

    The FORCIS database: A global census of planktonic Foraminifera from ocean waters (2023)
    Springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-07
    Description: Planktonic Foraminifera are unique paleo-environmental indicators through their excellent fossil record in ocean sediments. Their distribution and diversity are affected by different environmental factors including anthropogenically forced ocean and climate change. Until now, historical changes in their distribution have not been fully assessed at the global scale. Here we present the FORCIS (Foraminifera Response to Climatic Stress) database on foraminiferal species diversity and distribution in the global ocean from 1910 until 2018 including published and unpublished data. The FORCIS database includes data collected using plankton tows, continuous plankton recorder, sediment traps and plankton pump, and contains similar to 22,000, similar to 157,000, similar to 9,000, similar to 400 subsamples, respectively (one single plankton aliquot collected within a depth range, time interval, size fraction range, at a single location) from each category. Our database provides a perspective of the distribution patterns of planktonic Foraminifera in the global ocean on large spatial (regional to basin scale, and at the vertical scale), and temporal (seasonal to interdecadal) scales over the past century.

    The Marine Biodiversity Observation Network Plankton Workshops: Plankton Ecosystem Function, Biodiversity, and Forecasting - Research Requirements and Applications (2022)
    ASLO (Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography) | Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-01-04
    Description: Plankton is a massive and phylogenetically diverse group of thousands of prokaryotes, protists (unicellular eukaryotic organisms), and metazoans (multicellular eukaryotic organisms; Fig. 1). Plankton functional diversity is at the core of various ecological processes, including productivity, carbon cycling and sequestration, nutrient cycling (Falkowski 2012), interspecies interactions, and food web dynamics and structure (D'Alelio et al. 2016). Through these functions, plankton play a critical role in the health of the coastal and open ocean and provide essential ecosystem services. Yet, at present, our understanding of plankton dynamics is insufficient to project how climate change and other human-driven impacts affect the functional diversity of plankton. That limits our ability to predict how critical ecosystem services will change in the future and develop strategies to adapt to these changes.
