Adaptation to warming alters the competition between three phytoplankton taxa: Microcystis aeruginosa, Desmodesmus armatus and Mayamaea permitis - Community Ecology Phytoplankton are primary producers in freshwater ecosystems, forming the base of trophic networks. Some groups, such as cyanobacteria, have toxic potential, and their proliferation may be intensified...

📰🧪🔬A new paper presents how long-term adaptation to elevated temperatures influences competition among #cyanobacteria (Microcystis aeruginosa), #chlorophytes (Desmodesmus armatus), and #diatoms (Mayamaea permitis), in #microcosm and in lake #mesocosms
