HOW ARE THESE LIVING THINGS?!?!
These tiny creature are called the "carriers of stone seeds" in Ancient Greek.
Known as coccolithophores, these algae shield their bodies in stunning calcium plates. In ancient times they were so numerous their bodies—piled in the trillions—formed the rock of the White Cliffs of Dover, in England

#PlantScience
The photosystem I and light-harvesting proteins of marine coccolithophores assemble into a huge molecular machine that efficiently captures, transfers, and converts light energy, demonstrating the evolutionary diversity of photosynthesis.

Microzooplankton grazing on the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi and its role in the global calcium carbonate cycle
Microzooplankton grazing on coccolithophore calcite provides an important mechanism for shallow dissolution of calcium carbonate.

Microzooplankton grazing on coccolithophores is a previously unrecognized biological mechanism affecting the ballasting of organic carbon to deeper waters.
It could recycle up to 50% of biogenic calcite production in the surface and mesopelagic ocean

New preprint 🌊🫶
"A diverse community constitutes global coccolithophore calcium carbonate stocks"
Three large coccolithophores together hold about half of the global CaCO₃ stock!
G. huxleyi <10%
➡️ climate models need to include this broader diversity!

One nice thing about being locked out by my employer is meeting new @dalfaculty.bsky.social colleagues on the picket line, like @coastalseaside.bsky.social, an expert in coastal ecology.
I asked why Bedford Basin is so turquoise right now, and she said.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coccoli...
