A critical trade-off between nitrogen quota and growth allows <i>Coccolithus braarudii</i> life cycle phases to exploit varying environment

<p>Coccolithophores have a distinct haplo-diplontic life cycle, which allows them to grow and divide into two different life cycle phases (haploid and diploid). These life cycle phases vary significantly in inorganic carbon content and morphology and inhabit distinct niches, with haploids gene...
