DESCRIPTION:Marine phytoplankton are responsible for roughly 50% of the ca
 rbon dioxide that is fixed annually worldwide\, and contribute massively t
 o other biogeochemical cycles in the oceans. In this talk we present an an
 alysis of metatranscriptomes from eukaryotic phytoplankton sampled from di
 stinct latitudinal temperature zones. We also present some predictions tha
 t were made by integrating this data within a global ecosystems model. The
 se predictions add to current concerns on the effect of global warming on 
 marine ecosystem functioning.\n\nThis is joint work with groups based at U
 niversity of East Anglia\, University of Exeter\, Alfred-Wegener Institute
  for Polar and Marine Research\, and University of the Algarve. More detai
 ls can be found in Nature Climate Change 3:979-984\, (2013)\, and also in 
 a poster that will be presented in the workshop by Andrew Toseland.\n
