Predatory cues drive colony size reduction in marine diatoms
Abstract Colony formation is a common feature among nonmotile marine phytoplankton. Several theories exist around the potential benefits of larger colonies. Here, we test the hypothesis that predation is one of the drivers behind colony formation and chain length plasticity. We exposed cultures of T...
