      While general trends in the inflow of Atlantic Water (AW) to the European Arctic over the present interglacial (the Holocene) are well known, regional changes in climate and the AW current and subsequent environmental ...
    • The global genetic diversity of planktonic foraminifera reveals the structure of cryptic speciation in plankton 

      Morard, Raphaël; Darling, Kate F.; Weiner, Agnes; Hassenrück, Christiane; Vanni, Chiara; Cordier, Tristan; Henry, Nicolas; Greco, Mattia; Vollmar, Nele Manon; Milivojevic, Tamara; Rahman, Shirin Nurshan; Siccha, Michael; Meilland, Julie; Jonkers, Lukas; Quillévéré, Frédéric; Escarguel, Gilles; Douady, Christophe J.; de Garidel-Thoron, Thibault; de Vargas, Colomban; Kucera, Michal (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      The nature and extent of diversity in the plankton has fascinated scientists for over a century. Initially, the discovery of many new species in the remarkably uniform and unstructured pelagic environment appeared to ...
    • Reproduction dynamics of planktonic microbial eukaryotes in the open ocean 

      Weinkauf, Manuel F. G.; Siccha, Michael; Weiner, Agnes (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Understanding the biology of reproduction of an organismal lineage is important for retracing key evolutionary processes, yet gaining detailed insights often poses major challenges. Planktonic Foraminifera are globally ...
