• Bacterial community composition responds to changes in copepod abundance and alters ecosystem function in an Arctic mesocosm study 

      Tsagaraki, Tatiana Margo; Pree, Bernadette; Leiknes, Øystein; Larsen, Aud; Bratbak, Gunnar; Øvreås, Lise; Egge, Jorun Karin; Spanek, Roman; Paulsen, Maria Lund; Olsen, Yngvar; Vadstein, Olav; Thingstad, T. Frede (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Combining a minimum food web model with Arctic microbial community dynamics, we have suggested that top-down control by copepods can affect the food web down to bacterial consumption of organic carbon. Pursuing this ...
    • Integrating scientific knowledge, data and stakeholder perceptions for decision support 

      de Kok, Jean Luc; Viaene, Peter; Vermeiren, Karolien; Van der Meulen, Maarten; Tiller, Rachel Gjelsvik; Ardelan, Murat Van; Bailey, Jennifer L.; Thorpe, Robert; Beecham, Jonathan; Vanleeuwen, Sonja; Thingstad, T. Frede; Tsagaraki, Tatiana; Richards, Russell; Bizsel, Can; Salgado, Hugo (Chapter, 2016)
      The marine food web is considered to be a factor of key importance for the global carbon balance. The concept of the ‘Biological Pump’ refers to the mechanism by which CO2 fixed by photosynthesis is transferred to the deep ...
    • Mechanisms Generating Dichotomies in the Life Strategies of Heterotrophic Marine Prokaryotes 

      Thingstad, T. Frede; Øvreås, Lise; Vadstein, Olav (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Understanding the mechanisms that generate and maintain diversity in marine prokaryotic communities is one of the main challenges for contemporary marine microbiology. We here review how observational, experimental, and ...
