TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the diversity of CCMs, their evolutionary origins, and the role of the environment in CCM modulation, and a multitude of environmental factors can exert regulatory effects on the expression of the CCM components.

TL;DR: It is suggested that cell size and elemental stoichiometry are promising ecophysiological traits for modelling and tracking changes in phytoplankton community structure in response to climate change.

TL;DR: Comparison of the photon flux densities at which photoinhibition occurs in dinoflagellates and diatoms suggests that the former often experiencephotoinhibition at comparatively low irradiances, and this tolerance of a large absolute range of photon fluxdensities may, in part, explain why di atoms are often associated with spring blooms.

TL;DR: The definition of ‘conservation physiology’ is refined to be more inclusive, with an emphasis on characterizing diversity, understanding and predicting responses to environmental change and stressors, and generating solutions.

TL;DR: This review addresses the present state of knowledge about the effects of enhanced carbon dioxide levels, elevated UVBR fluxes and higher temperatures on the ecophysiology of microalgae and the ecological consequences of climate change for microalgal assemblages and the flow of materials to higher trophic levels.
