Surviving turbulent times: Lessons from the phytoplankton – Phys.org

Physicists from the University of Luxembourg, together with scientists from Sweden, Israel and Switzerland, have established mechanistic links between physiological stress and migratory behavior in aquatic photosynthetic microorganisms in the face of turbulence.
Phytoplankton, aquatic microorganisms that teem our lakes and oceans, are indispensable in holding our ecosystem in balance, more so during the rapidly shifting patterns we encounter in our environment today. Crucially, as primary producers,…
