Without Attacking: Plankton Grazers Trigger Toxin Production, Colony Reduction in Planktonic Algae (1 of 2)

image: Copepods, the most common organisms in the sea, imprint seawater with a unique chemical signature that induces defensive traits in phytoplankton. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Feb. 20th, 2019, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by E. Selander at University of Gothenburg in Göteborg, Sweden, and colleagues was titled, "Copepods drive large-scale trait-mediated effects in marine plankton." view more
