The paper tests two hypotheses about how extreme precipitation affects phytoplankton communities in estuaries, finding support for both nutrient-driven growth and introduction of new taxa.

The paper uses metatranscriptomic and metaproteomic analysis of plankton biomass collected across a 1,050 km transect in the western North Atlantic Ocean to reveal shifts in microeukaryote community composition and metabolic function across depth and environmental gradients.

This study quantifies Rhizaria abundance and vertical distribution over a year in the Sargasso Sea, showing taxonomic partitioning and environmental influences.
