The animated video “Fabuleuse Rencontres” – currently available in French – focuses on some of the first scientific findings of the BioSWOT-Med campaign, which investigated what drives phytoplankton diversity at fine scales in the Mediterranean Sea.
For a fortunate coincidence, the video was published today, concomitant with the publication in Communications Earth & Environment of the paper ‘Fine-scale observations reveal distinct frontal phytoplankton communities’ which reveals the role of fine-scale variability in maintaining phytoplankton diversity in moderately energetic, oligotrophic conditions.
