New international research led by Professors Willy Baeyens and Yue Gao of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), published in One Earth, demonstrates that plankton is not only the basis of the marine ...

Creating new scientific models of plankton is "critical" to understanding the scale of global climate change, a new paper ...

Plankton are the backbone of the ocean — and may struggle with what’s coming. A pair of papers in the journal Nature shows how plankton are struggling to survive in warming seas.

They drift aimlessly at sea, soaking up sunlight from the sky and nutrients from the deep. Often invisible to the naked eye, these tiny invertebrates form the hidden backbone of ocean ecosystems.

Not much attention is paid to plankton because these creatures are usually hidden from sight. They are mostly microscopic in size and live in aquatic environments, but human lives are intricately ...

For thousands of years, writers have come up with increasingly creative ways to describe the “wine-dark sea.” But a new study suggests that modern poets may be faced with a slightly different palette.
