The biominerals pro- duced by the coccolithophores are ideally placed to infer sea surface temperatures from their oxygen isotopic composition, as calcification in this photosynthetic algal group only occurs in the sunlit surface waters. In the present study, we dissect the isotopic mechanisms contributing to the ‘‘vital effect”, which overprints the oceanic temperatures recorded in coccolith calcite. -

In the past Genomics twenty years, omics techniques such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics have trans- Transcriptomics formed that data landscape of many fields including the study of HABs. Advances in technology have facilitated Proteomics the creation of many publicly available omics datasets that are complementary and shed new light on the Metabolomics mechanisms of HAB formation and toxin production. Genomics have been used to reveal differences in toxicity Climate change and nutritional requirements, while transcriptomics and proteomics have been used to explore HAB species Phytoplankton Harmful algae responses to environmental stressors, and metabolomics can reveal mechanisms of allelopathy and toxicity. In Cyanobacteria this review, we explore how omics data may be leveraged to improve predictions of how climate change will impact HAB dynamics. We also highlight important gaps in our knowledge of HAB prediction, which include swimming behaviors, microbial interactions and evolution that can be addressed by future studies with omics tools. Lastly, we discuss approaches to incorporate current omics datasets into predictive numerical models that may enhance HAB prediction in a changing world. -
Biology and Systematics of Heterokont and Haptophyte Algae1
American Journal of Botany 91(10): 1508±1522. 2004. BIOLOGY AND SYSTEMATICS OF HETEROKONT AND HAPTOPHYTE ALGAE1 ROBERT A. ANDERSEN Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, P.O. Box 475, West Boothbay Harbor, Maine 04575 USA In this paper, I review what is currently known of phylogenetic relationships of heterokont and haptophyte algae. Heterokont algae are a monophyletic group that is classi®ed into 17 classes and represents a diverse group of marine, freshwater, and terrestrial algae. Classes are distinguished by morphology, chloroplast pigments, ultrastructural features, and gene sequence data. Electron microscopy and molecular biology have contributed signi®cantly to our understanding of their evolutionary relationships, but even today class relationships are poorly understood. Haptophyte algae are a second monophyletic group that consists of two classes of predominately marine phytoplankton. The closest relatives of the haptophytes are currently unknown, but recent evidence indicates they may be part of a large assemblage (chromalveolates) that includes heterokont algae and other stramenopiles, alveolates, and cryptophytes. Heter- okont and haptophyte algae are important primary producers in aquatic habitats, and they are probably the primary carbon source for petroleum products (crude oil, natural gas). Key words: chromalveolate; chromist; chromophyte; ¯agella; phylogeny; stramenopile; tree of life. Heterokont algae are a monophyletic group that includes all (Phaeophyceae) by Linnaeus (1753), and shortly thereafter, photosynthetic organisms with tripartite tubular hairs on the microscopic chrysophytes (currently 5 Oikomonas, Anthophy- mature ¯agellum (discussed later; also see Wetherbee et al., sa) were described by MuÈller (1773, 1786).

All of the specimens were collected from the lower photic zone (75–160 m). The coccoliths possess a proximal flange, a slightly flared wall with a serrated distal margin, and a relatively plain central area structure comprised only of overlapping laths.

A 15 Million-Year Long Record of Phenotypic Evolution in the Heavily Calcified Coccolithophore Helicosphaera and Its Biogeochemical Implications
A 15 million-year long record of phenotypic evolution in the heavily calcified coccolithophore Helicosphaera and its biogeochemical implications 5 Luka Šupraha1, a, Jorijntje Henderiks1, 2 1 Department of Earth Sciences, Uppsala University, Villavägen 16, SE-752 36 Uppsala, Sweden. 2 Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis (CEES), Department of Biosciences, University of Oslo, P.O. Box 1066 Blindern, 0316 Oslo, Norway. a Present address: Section for Aquatic Biology and Toxicology (AQUA), Department of Biosciences, University of Oslo, P.O. 10 Box 1066 Blindern, 0316 Oslo, Norway Correspondence to: Luka Šupraha ([email protected]) Abstract. The biogeochemical impact of coccolithophores is defined by their overall abundance in the oceans, but also by a wide range in physiological traits such as cell size, degree of calcification and carbon production rates between different species. Species’ “sensitivity” to environmental forcing has been suggested to relate to their cellular PIC:POC ratio and other 15 physiological constraints. Understanding both the short and longer-term adaptive strategies of different coccolithophore lineages, and how these in turn shape the biogeochemical role of the group, is therefore crucial for modeling the ongoing changes in the global carbon cycle. Here we present data on the phenotypic evolution of a large and heavily-calcified genus Helicosphaera (order Zygodiscales) over the past 15 million years (Ma), at two deep-sea drill sites from the tropical Indian Ocean and temperate South Atlantic. The modern species Helicosphaera carteri, which displays eco-physiological adaptations 20 in modern strains, was used to benchmark the use of its coccolith morphology as a physiological proxy in the fossil record. -

Globally distributed, Emiliania huxleyi is generally perceived to be the key calcite producer, yet it has a relatively low cellular calcite content (~ 0.4 – 0.7 pmol C cell -1) compared to heavily calcified species such as Coccolithus pelagicus (~ 15 – 21 pmol C cell -1).
