Preface: Building on a history of dual careers in the sciences.- Phagotrophic protists: Central roles in microbial food web.- Drivers that structure biodiversity in the plankton.- The round, the elogated and the stout: selective pressure for phytoplankton shape.- Crossing the freshwater/saline barrier: A phylogenetic analysis of bacteria inhabiting both freshwater and marine ecosystems.- Approaches and challenges for linking marine biogeochemical models with the “omics” revolution.- Out of Africa and into stoichiometry.- Exploring the implications of the stoichiometric modulation of planktonic predation.- On saturating response curves from the dual perspectives of photosynthesis and nitrogen metabolism.- Nitrate reductase: a nexus of disciplines, organisms and metabolism.- The ammonium paradox of a high-nutrient low-growth estuary.- Why is planktonic nitrogen fixation so rare in coastal marine ecosystems? Insights from a cross-systems approach.- Where light and nutrients collide: The global distribution and activity of subsurface chlorophyll maximum layers.- An ecosystem in transition: the emergence of mixotrophy in the Arabian Sea.- The Saint Lawrence Island polynya: A 25-year evaluation of an analogue for climate change in polar regions.- Ecological processes and nutrient transfers from land to sea: a 25 year perspective on research and management of the Seine River.- Historical perspectives on water quality and biogeochemical cycling in Pensacola Bay, FL, USA.- Meeting in the middle: on the interactions between microalgae and their predators or zooplankton and their food.- Lake transparency: a window into decadal variations in dissolved organic carbon concentrations in Maine's Mount Desert Island lakes.- Phytoplankton biodiversity in the oligotrophic northwestern Sargasso Sea.- Biological oceanography of the Gulf of Carpentaria: A review.- Discerning the causes of toxic cyanobacteria (Lyngbya majuscula) blooms in Moreton Bay, Australia.- Copepod, ctenophore, and schyphomedusae control in structuring the Chesapeake Bay summer mesohaline planktonic food web.- Microbiogeochemical ecophysiology of freshwater hydrothermal vents in Mary Bay Canyon, Yellowstone Lake, Yellowstone National Park WY.
