This study shows polar diatoms enter a quiescent state during prolonged darkness, relying on autophagy and stored energy to survive, and rapidly resume photosynthesis when light returns.

The paper uses satellite data and machine learning to predict global plankton community distributions with 67% accuracy, outperforming temperature and chlorophyll a alone.

The paper assesses the vulnerability of the global ocean plankton community interactome to environmental change using niche modeling and Tara Oceans data.
