Adaptive Ecology, Growth Strategies and the Global Bloom Expansion of Dinoflagellates Theodore J. Smayda Journal of Oceanography, Vol. 58, pp. 281 to 294, 2002 DOI: 10.1023/A:1015861725470 First, I must say that Dr. Smayda (d.2017) was apparently “The Man” when it came to study of harmful algae blooms. I wish I had bumped into him sooner. […]

The toxic benthic dinoflagellates of the genus Ostreopsis in temperate areas: a review
The toxic benthic dinoflagellates of the genus Ostreopsis in temperate areas: a review Stefano Accoroni, Cecilia Totti Advances in Oceanography and Limnology, 2016; 7(1): 1-15 DOI: 10.4081/aiol.2016.5591 Key Points: Correct ID of Ostreopsis species in the field (distinguishing between them) is “highly problematic” requiring a comparison of precise anatomical measurements and experience comparing strains from […]
A review on the effects of environmental conditions on growth and toxin production of Ostreopsis ovata
A review on the effects of environmental conditions on growth and toxin production of Ostreopsis ovata R. Pistocchi, L. Pezzolesi, F. Guerrini, S. Vanucci, C. Dell’Aversano, E. Fattorusso doi:10.1016/j.toxicon.2010.09.013 For the same strain, both nitrogen and phosphorus limitation determined a decrease in cell toxicity showing different behaviour with respect to many other toxic dinoflagellates. There’s […]
Physiological responses of Ostreopsis ovata to changes in N and P availability and temperature increase
Physiological responses of Ostreopsis ovata to changes in N and P availability and temperature increase Nayani K. Vidyarathna, Edna Granéli. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hal.2012.11.006 Results indicated that under nutrient sufficiency O. ovata biomass accumulation increased significantly compared to N and P deficiency and also that N limitation severely affected growth. The highest growth rates were recorded at 30 °C. […]
