Very excited to share final version of our paper! What forces shape evolution of cross-feeding among planktonic ocean microbes, and how does it in turn drive self-organization of biogeochemical cycles? These are the questions we explore here:

Of course, much remains uncertain and unconstrained, and so I also outline a number of potential data that would challenge or invalidate the chitin raft hypothesis and the views outlined above.
