Study finds body size of marine plankton, currents keys to dispersal in ocean
and has no comments yet.

A new international study found that the size of plankton, and the strength and direction of currents, are key to how they are dispersed in the ocean – much more so than physical conditions including differences in temperature, salinity and nutrient availability.
