Overview

Sonya T. Dyhrman is affiliated with the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in the United States. Their scholarly contributions span various aspects of environmental science and earth and planetary sciences, with a particular focus on oceanography and marine ecology.

The research primarily centers on microbial community ecology and physiology as well as marine and coastal ecosystems. Other notable areas of inquiry include marine biology and ecology research, protist diversity and phylogeny, marine bivalve and aquaculture studies, marine and coastal plant biology, and environmental DNA in biodiversity studies.

Dyhrman has published extensively across multiple venues, frequently contributing to:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
  • Journal of Phycology
  • The ISME Journal
  • Environmental Microbiology

Among their recent publications are:

  • "Microbial metabolites in the marine carbon cycle," 2022, Nature Microbiology
  • "Complex marine microbial communities partition metabolism of scarce resources over the diel cycle," 2022, Nature Ecology & Evolution
  • "Combined pigment and metatranscriptomic analysis reveals highly synchronized diel patterns of phenotypic light response across domains in the open oligotrophic ocean," 2020, The ISME Journal
  • "Nitrogen Fixation in Mesoscale Eddies of the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre: Patterns and Mechanisms," 2023, Global Biogeochemical Cycles
  • "Aureococcus anophagefferens (Pelagophyceae) genomes improve evaluation of nutrient acquisition strategies involved in brown tide dynamics," 2021, Journal of Phycology

Collaborative efforts are an important feature of Dyhrman's work. Frequent co-authors include:

  • Matthew J. Harke
  • Edward F. DeLong
  • David M. Karl
  • Sheean T. Haley
  • Angelicque White

Their research contributes to broader understanding in oceanography, ecology, molecular biology, global and planetary change, and environmental chemistry by examining microbial processes and interactions that influence marine environments on multiple scales. This work incorporates advanced methodologies such as metatranscriptomic analysis to study synchronized biological responses in ocean systems and genomic approaches to explore nutrient acquisition in marine phytoplankton.
