Planktonic communities are wonderfully diverse. The work in ZEAL focuses on the eco-evolutionary dynamics that shape this diversity, and the interactions between ecology, physiology, and adaptation in a changing climate. Our work integrates different approaches, and bridges between field observations and laboratory experiments to investigate the mechanisms underlying spatial and temporal patterns in natural populations.
