Declining or Waning
- Marine Algal Physiology:
Studies specifically centered on the physiological aspects of marine algae, such as photosynthesis and growth conditions, have become less prominent, possibly due to a shift towards molecular and ecological approaches. - Traditional Morphological Studies:
While morphological characterization remains important, there appears to be a waning emphasis on purely morphological studies without molecular corroboration, as the field increasingly values integrative taxonomic methods. - Cyanobacterial Ecology Studies:
Although cyanobacteria remain a focus, there has been a noticeable decrease in papers solely dedicated to their ecological studies, possibly overshadowed by molecular phylogenetic studies that provide broader insights.
