Researchers have discovered significant changes in the growth patterns of deep-living phytoplankton due to global warming, as ...

In early 2025, the Whale X team is expected to deploy the equivalent of five plumes of synthetic whale feces in the Tasman ...

A Dartmouth-led study proposes a new method for recruiting trillions of microscopic sea creatures called zooplankton in the ...

The ability to track phytoplankton has largely depended on space satellites observing the sea surface. Yet, phytoplankton can grow below the surface where satellites cannot detect them ...

Just a 10 percent drop in plankton could cause a domino effect leading to declines in populations in fish and other larger sea creatures down the food chain, according to Schmidt. “It’d just ...

Plankton produces dimethyl sulphide, a vapour that is credited with giving the sea its distinctive smell but one that also promotes the creation of clouds, thereby playing a significant role in ...

As research over the past several decades has shown, whales play a critical role in bolstering ocean ecosystems. Many whale species feed in the depths of the ocean where prey is plentiful, but where ...

A new study highlights how some marine life could face extinction over the next century, if human-induced global warming worsens. The research, led by the University of Bristol and published in ...

Temperatures were set to simulate changes in water temperature likely to occur in the sea area where the plankton was collected. The experiment showed that zooplankton species with low ...
