A compilation of global bio-optical in situ data for ocean-colour satellite applications – version four

Abstract. A global in situ dataset for validation of satellite products from the ESA Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative (OC-CCI) is presented. This version of the compilation, with data starting in 1996, extends to 2025, which is important for the validation of recent algorit...

Sugar kelp ( Saccharina latissima ) population genetics map onto geographic distance and oceanographic features across coastal Maine

Abstract Sugar kelp ( Saccharina latissima ; order Laminariales) plays a vital role in kelp forest ecosystems, as well as an expanding kelp aquaculture industry, in the Gulf of Maine, United States. However, ocean warming is eroding the resilience of Maine's kelp forests and may...

Identification of a membrane transporter for dimethylsulfoniopropionate uptake in marine eukaryotic phytoplankton

Marine microalgae obtain essential sulfur through energetically costly, assimilatory reduction of sea-salt sulfate, so the ability for osmotrophic incorporation of reduced sulfur would confer them adaptability in energy-limiting conditions. Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is a...
