Abstract The demand for efficient image sorting methods has increased due to technological advancements that enable more intensive phytoplankton monitoring. Both statistical and machine learning algorithms can misidentify algal taxa in taxonomically diverse samples, in which phytoplankton morphology and image traits can vary.

The Acquisition of a Plastid by Haptophytes, Cryptophytes, and Photosynthetic Heterokonts
Red algae and green plants are known to have obtained their photosynthetic organelles, or plastids, through the endosymbiotic adoption of cyanobacteria.

Cryptophyte: Biology, Culture, and Biotechnological Applications
Cryptophytes are single-cell biflagellate algae, with extrusive organelles called ejectosomes. They live in fresh and marine water, mainly in shaded environments where light levels are reduced relative to the surface. They are the product of a secondary endosymbiosis of a red alga, which still retains the endosymbiont nucleus’s reminiscences and has ...

Abstract Changes to the North Atlantic spring bloom phytoplankton community structure are expected in response to regional warming trends. In 2024 an extensive body of low chlorophyll water, covering approximately 720,000 km2 in area, dominated the Northeast Atlantic during the peak of the spring bloom period.

Phylogenomic Evidence for Separate Acquisition of Plastids in Cryptophytes, Haptophytes, and Stramenopiles [PDF]
According to the chromalveolate hypothesis (Cavalier-Smith T. 1999. Principles of protein and lipid targeting in secondary symbiogenesis: euglenoid, dinoflagellate, and sporozoan plastid origins and the eukaryote family tree. J Eukaryot Microbiol 46:347-366), the four eukaryotic groups with chlorophyll c-containing plastids originate from a single ...

Responses of size-fractionated phytoplankton to environmental variables—particularly temperature, euphotic depth, and ammonium—were investigated in Gwangyang Bay to identify the phytoplankton groups responsible for estuarine blooms.

ABSTRACT Increases in lake production and the abundance of cyanobacteria have been reported in many temperate freshwater systems, with their rise typically attributed to elevated nutrient influx or climate change. On the St. Lawrence River (SLR), recent evidence suggests that cyanobacterial abundances have increased since ca. 2000, although the precise

Background Cryptophytes are an ecologically important group of algae comprised of phototrophic, heterotrophic and osmotrophic species. This lineage is of great interest to evolutionary biologists because their plastids are of red algal secondary ...

A Fatty Acid Based Bayesian Approach for Inferring Diet in Aquatic Consumers. [PDF]
We modified the stable isotope mixing model MixSIR to infer primary producer contributions to consumer diets based on their fatty acid composition. To parameterize the algorithm, we generated a 'consumer-resource library' of FA signatures of Daphnia fed ...
