Editorial: Adaptive strategies and interactions of marine phytoplankton in the contemporary ocean: From genes to ecosystems

Abstract

the articles included analyze interesting examples of phytoplankton adaptation, with special emphasis on dinoflagellates. They specifically highlight the variability and complexity of the trophic interactions that these organisms are involved in in the marine environment.

The mesmerizing adaptation strategies that phytoplankton have implemented through time have impressed marine biologists and oceanographers; the uncertainty remains in the next steps ahead.
