Influence of prey concentration, light intensity, and temperature on the growth and ingestion of the mixotrophic dinoflagellate Pyrophacus horologium, a predator of the harmful species Heterocapsa niei. [PDF]
J PhycolAbstract Pyrophacus horologium belongs to the family Pyrocystaceae and was recently identified as a mixotrophic dinoflagellate capable of feeding on other dinoflagellates. In this study, the growth and feeding responses of P. horologium were investigated under various environmental conditions by providing Heterocapsa niei, its preferred prey.

Comparison of the Functional and Numerical Responses of Resistant versus Non-resistant Populations of the Copepod Acartia Hudsonica Fed the Toxic Dinoflagellate Alexandrium Tamarense [PDF]
, 2007 The functional and numerical responses of grazers are key pieces of information in predicting and modeling predator–prey interactions. It has been demonstrated that exposure to toxic algae can lead to evolved resistance in grazer populations.

Unveiling the phylogenetic position of the type species of the syndinean genus Amoebophrya and broad divergence of the A. ceratii complex. [PDF]
J PhycolAbstract The syndinean genus Amoebophrya comprises endoparasitic dinoflagellates that infect various marine protists. Since the description of the type species, A. sticholonchae, a parasite of the radiolarian Sticholonche zanclea, an additional six Amoebophrya species have been formally described.

Regional geothermal aquifer architecture of the fluvial Lower Cretaceous Nieuwerkerk Formation – a palynological analysis [PDF]
, 2017 The primary challenge for efficient geothermal doublet design and deployment is the adequate prediction of the size, shape, lateral extent and thickness (or aquifer architecture) of aquifers.

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT One of the major subfields of chemical ecology is the study of toxins and how they mediate interactions between organisms. Toxins produced by harmful algae (phycotoxins) impact a wide variety of organisms connected to the marine food web. Significant research efforts have thus aimed to identify the ecological and evolutionary drivers behind ...

Study of Adsorption and Flocculation Properties of Natural Clays to Remove Prorocentrum lima
Toxins, 2015 High accumulations of phytoplankton species that produce toxins are referred to as harmful algal blooms (HABs). HABs represent one of the most important sources of contamination in marine environments, as well as a serious threat to public health ...

Colonization of a Neotropical Reservoir (Córdoba, Argentina) by Ceratium hirundinella (O. F. Müller) Bergh [PDF]
, 2005 Blooms of Ceratium hirundinella (O. F. Müller) Bergh. have been detected in different water bodies in the Neotropical Region since 1990. The colonization began in southern lakes, and during the last decade the dinoflagellate arrived and bloomed in ...
