Environmental stresses on diatom and dinoflagellate morphology and community structure in the western Pacific Ocean

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: shows an absolute growth advantage in deep water. In the relationship between the various morphological parameters of the cell, the larger the cell, the more the shape tends to be compact; cell volume increased with lengthening of the maximum linear dimension (MLD), but the slope was not unique across shape categories. These findings provide a better understanding of the role of phytoplankton morphology in the process of environmental acclimatization.
