Diatom cell size, coloniality and motility: trade-offs between temperature, salinity and nutrient supply with climate change.

Reduction in body size has been proposed as a universal response of organisms, both to warming and to decreased salinity. However, it is still controversial if size reduction is caused by temperature or salinity on their own, or if other factors interfere as well. We used natural benthic diatom comm...
