Towards an Ecological Understanding of Dinoflagellate Cyst Functions [PDF]
The life cycle of many dinoflagellates includes at least one nonflagellated benthic stage (cyst). In the literature, the different types of dinoflagellate cysts are mainly defined based on morphological (number and type of layers in the cell wall) and ...

In Situ Harvesting and Molecular Identification for the Germinating Species Diversity of Dinoflagellate Resting Cysts in Jiaozhou Bay, China [PDF]
Dinoflagellate resting cysts are critical to dinoflagellate ecology, acting as a key seed source for initiating harmful algal blooms (HABs) through their germination.

Biogeography of dinoflagellate cysts in northwest Atlantic estuaries. [PDF]
AbstractFew biogeographic studies of dinoflagellate cysts include the near‐shore estuarine environment. We determine the effect of estuary type, biogeography, and water quality on the spatial distribution of organic‐walled dinoflagellate cysts from the NortheastUSA(Maine to Delaware) and Canada (Prince Edward Island).

The Distribution and Diversity of Dinoflagellate Cysts in Sediments of Gwatar Bay (Northeast Gulf of Oman) [PDF]
Most dinoflagellate produce resting cysts during their sexual lifecycle as well as under unfavorable environmental conditions and from water column settle in the sediments substratum. The evaluation of diversity and distribution of dinoflagellate cysts

The resting cyst of dinoflagellate Scrippsiella acuminata host bacterial microbiomes with more diverse trophic strategies under conditions typically observed in marine sediments [PDF]
Variation in the condition of marine sediments provides selective preservation milieus, which act as a key determinant for the abundance and distribution of dinoflagellate resting cysts in natural sediments.

Most dinoflagellate had a resting cyst in their life cycle. This cyst was developed in unfavorable environmental condition. The conventional method for identifying dinoflagellate cyst in natural sediment requires morphological observation, isolating ...

Hiddenocysta matsuokae gen. nov. et sp. nov. from the Holocene of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada [PDF]
A new dinoflagellate cyst genus and species are described here as Hiddenocysta gen. nov. and Hiddenocysta matsuokae sp. nov. from Holocene sediments in a core from the west coast of Vancouver Island (British Columbia, Canada).

Cyst-forming dinoflagellates in a warming climate [PDF]
Many phytoplankton species, including many harmful algal bloom (HAB) species, survive long periods between blooms through formation of benthic resting stages. Because they are crucial to the persistence of these species and the initiation of new blooms, the physiology of benthic stages must be considered to accurately predict responses to climate ...

Islandinium pacificum sp. nov., a new dinoflagellate cyst from the upper Quaternary of the northeast Pacific [PDF]
Round brown process-bearing cysts (RBPC) produced by dinoflagellates (Dinophyceae) occur as an important part of assemblage diversities in seafloor sediments worldwide. Here a new species, Islandinium pacificum, is described from surface sediment samples
