plankton, ecology

When road deicing salt enters freshwater ecosystems, prey species such as Daphnia pulex can rapidly evolve tolerance to the contaminant, buffering their local food webs from the impacts of salination.

Bacterial populations’ differing strategies for responding to their environment can set genetic routes to speciation.

Fish adapt to feed for months along the entire depth of massive oceanic whirlpools that are rich in nutrients and plankton.
