I analyzed real-world community time series from a range of taxa to show on empirical grounds that natural communities are primarily shaped by environmental forcing, the impact of inter-specific interactions remaining broadly week, lending support to niche differentiation.</p> /people/nanjappa/ Sat, 18 May 2019 00:00:00 +0000 /people/nanjappa/ <!-- raw HTML omitted --> <p>My research interests are in molecular biology and functional ecology, especially using omics-based methods to understand how microbial systems respond to changing conditions.

This involves the analysis of metatranscriptomic data generated during the mesocosm experiments, conducted with natural phytoplankton assemblages and seawater. The study will help to decipher the modulations in gene expression and the metabolic pathways to understand the overall effect of crude oil and the various strategies cells employ to overcome.</p> /people/benner/ Sat, 18 May 2019 00:00:00 +0000 /people/benner/ <!-- raw HTML omitted --> <p>I am interested in understanding how single cell organisms can evolve to changes in climate.</p> <p>Presently I am determining the potential of arctic phytoplankton to evolve to changing temperature.</p> <p>For my PhD I worked on the utilization of organic nutrients in phytoplankton at the Alfred Wegner Institute in Bremerhaven, Germany.

This summer, I am interested in understanding the advantage and disadvantages associated with the different chains formed by diatoms. Literature suggests that the shape and length of chains appear to be determined by several environmental factors, such as effectiveness of grazer defense (Sournia 1982; Smetacek et al. 2004; Bergkvist et al. 2012), adjustment of buoyancy (Smayda &amp; Boleyn 1966; Smayda 1970; Takabayashi et al. 2006) , optimization nutrient uptake through micro shear (Reynolds 1984, Karp-Boss et al. 1996), and in pennate planktonic diatoms, a possibility for entanglement of chains to retain proximity for sexual reproduction (Kooistra 2007). My goal will be to gather available data on diatom traits from the literature. This can then be used to formulate new hypothesis about the purpose of chains or provide better insight on the current ones.</p> /people/daly/ Sat, 18 May 2019 00:00:00 +0000 /people/daly/ <!-- raw HTML omitted --> <p>I am interested in understanding how phytoplankton respond to changing arctic conditions.

My research combines the study of both extinct and living phytoplankton to establish direct links between fossilized phytoplankton remains and present-day species and communities, bringing together approaches and datasets from the traditionally separate fields of phycology and micropaleontology.</p> <p>I am presently investigating cellular stoichiometry and macromolecular composition in coccolithophores. This contributes to the wider research of lab members into the interactions between cellular resource requirements, resource availability, competitive species interactions, and biogeochemical cycles that ultimately drive the evolution of phytoplankton communities under climate change.</p> /people/faulkner/ Sat, 18 May 2019 00:00:00 +0000 /people/faulkner/ <!-- raw HTML omitted --> <p>I am interested in understanding how the macromolecular composition of microalgae is related to environmental and biotic conditions.</p> <p>Presently I am studying the effect of nitrogen and phosphorus limitation on macromolecular composition of a size range of centric diatom species.</p> <p>For my BSc I am completing a double major of Biology and Environmental Science (Hons.).
