CaCO₃ cycling gaps: Three calcifying plankton drive production and shape alkalinity, but global fluxes mismatch production, export, and burial. The missing piece is biologically driven shallow-water dissolution via predation, aggregation, and respiration.

🌊 Today, Oct 10 = the first International Coccolithophore Day!
These microscopic algae build calcium shells, fuel ocean life, and regulate Earth’s carbon.
Let’s give them the recognition they deserve!

Today, Oct 10, we celebrate tiny ocean builders that capture CO₂, shape marine ecosystems & keep our climate in balance.
When Cocco talks, climate walks.

Microscopic, yet seen from space. Invisible, yet astronauts watch them glow.
Billions of tiny artists shape climate, feed the seas, and write history in calcium armor.
Meet them in 2 days.

They are architects of the sea, engineers of the air—capturing carbon, atom by atom.
While you breathe, they build. While you sleep, they safeguard our climate.

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!

Some food chain business today at Krka estuary!
Another field trip this week for #CoccoChannel! 🌊 We headed to the Krka River estuary to sample the halocline using a horizontal water sampler. The microbial life was buzzing #protistsonsky! 🦠 This one was caught extending its pseudopodia to feed on bacteria. Nature’s lunch at its finest!

Greetings! Is anyone interested in working on coccolithophore microbiome and writing a MSCA-PF shorturl.at/p49t3? Reach out for a chat 💬 and more info! Croatia is part of ERA and also has national funds for MSCA-PFs --> triple chance of getting it! 🫣 #protistsonsky

My inner David Attenborough needs to report: after observing it for quite a while, I noticed that when the spines were extended, it remained completely still—munching away as if anchored in place! Fascinatingly, it only seemed to move when the spines were retracted.

Calciopappus rigidus! I thought I would never see it alive!
So, first it was eating bacteria while the spines were fully open. When it finished it swam away with the spines retraced - looking like a professional scuba diver! #Cocco-Channel #hrzz #protistsonsky For comparison I attach the SEM photo.

Today was a perfectly colorful day 🌈—on the way to sample coccolithophores, we stumbled upon a pink lake. Under the scope, I found green algae and diatoms in a “forest” of pink! 💗💚🔬

Sampled these beauties today in a stunning cove!
In the pic: a Syracosphaera holococcolithophore and a Dinophysis dinoflagellate.
The surface had a full-on dino party, while the #coccolithophores were just chilling at 5m depth.
