Every spring, large blooms of diatoms take place in the North Atlantic Ocean. Likewise, every year in late summer to early fall, large blooms of dinoflagellates take place.

IN walking across the beach between tide-marks at Port Erin on April 7, I noticed a greenish-brown discoloration of the sand in places especially along the edges of the ripple-marks and other ...

Dalhousie University researchers analyzed data collected over more than half a century to assess how two types of phytoplankton — diatoms and dinoflagellates — are responding to climate change.
