      Mayers, Kyle; Poulton, Alex J.; Bidle, Kay D.; Thamatrakoln, Kimberlee; Schieler, Brittany; Giering, Sarah L.C.; Wells, Seona R.; Tarran, Glen A.; Mayor, Dan; Johnson, Matthew; Riebesell, Ulf; Larsen, Aud; Vardi, Assaf; Harvey, Elizabeth L. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Phytoplankton play a central role in the regulation of global carbon and nutrient cycles, forming the basis of the marine food webs. A group of biogeochemically important phytoplankton, the coccolithophores, produce calcium ...
