The role of nutrients in decomposition of a thecate dinoflagellate Tamar Zohary, Hans Güde, Utsa Pollingher, Bina Kaplan, Riki Pinkas, Ora Hadas Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2000, Pages 123–130 DOI: 10.4319/lo.2000.45.1.0123 PDF Available. Because of the low N and P content of thecae (C:N:P atomic ratios >3000:19: 1) relative to protoplasts (276 :51:1), the microbial […]
Role of elevated organic carbon levels and microbial activity in coral mortality David I. Kline, Neilan M. Kuntz, Mya Breitbart, Nancy Knowlton, Forest Rohwer Marine Ecology Progress Series, Vol. 314 (May 22 2006), pp. 119-125 Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/24870119 PDF available Here we experimentally show that routinely measured components of water quality (nitrate, phosphate, ammonia) do […]
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 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 […]
