Description: |
Phytoplankton-produced dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) provides underwater and atmospheric foraging cues for several species. However, its role in the chemical ecology of marine planktonic microbes is largely unknown. The results of this research paper highlight how adaptations to microscale chemical seascapes shape planktonic food webs, while potentially influencing climate at the global scale. [Source: Science]
