Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 61, No. 4 (2016), pp. 1232-1244 (13 pages) Temperature strongly affects phytoplankton growth rates, but its effect on communities and ecosystem processes is debated.

The two most prominent types of plankton in the ocean are zooplankton, which are tiny animal organisms, and phytoplankton, which are plantlike. (Other forms of plankton include bacterial and fungal.

This suggests that morphology captures ecological function of phytoplankton well, and that functional groups based on morphology may be the most suitable focus for predicting the composition of ...
