Modelling approaches for capturing plankton diversity (MODIV), their societal applications and data needs Open
Ecosystem models need to capture biodiversity, because it is a fundamental determinant of food web dynamics and consequently of the cycling of energy and matter in ecosystems. In oceanic food webs, the plankton compartment encompasses by f…
Latitudinal Variation in Plankton Traits and Ecosystem Function Open
Planktonic ecosystems are usually modeled in terms of autotrophic and heterotrophic compartments. However, the trophic strategy of unicellular organisms can take a range of mixotrophic strategies with both autotrophic and heterotrophic con…
Competition between vacuolated and mixotrophic unicellular plankton Open
Trait-based ecology allows much of the complexity of ecosystems to be projected onto a low-dimensional trait space. We conjecture that three key traits capture the main aspects of diversity of unicellular planktonic organisms: cell size, t…
Competition–defense tradeoff increases the diversity of microbial plankton communities and dampens trophic cascades Open
The competition–defense tradeoff is a significant source of functional diversity in ecological communities. Here, we present a theoretical framework to describe the competition–defense tradeoff and apply it to a size‐based model of a unice…

Tidal cycle control of biogeochemical and ecological properties of a macrotidal ecosystem Open
In some regions, tidal energy can be a key factor in the generation of variability in physical and biogeochemical properties throughout the water column. We use a numerical model resolving tidal cycles and simulating diversity in phytoplan…
