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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This quantitative dinoflagellate cyst study reveals an enormous difference in survival rates in oxygenated versus anoxic sediments. Replicate samples of concentrated natural dinoflagellate cysts with the same initial species composition (1.4 × 104 ...

Stratigraphic cluster analysis using aquatic palynomorphs preserved in the core sediments revealed a rapid eutrophication due to anthropogenic activities from the mid 1960s in Beppu Bay, East Kyushu, Japan. These assemblages were divided into three major

Flux variability of phyto- and zooplankton communities in the Mauritanian coastal upwelling between 2003 and 2008 [PDF]
Continuous multiyear records of sediment-trap-gained microorganism fluxes are scarce. Such studies are important to identify and to understand the main forcings behind seasonal and multiannual evolution of microorganism flux dynamics. Here, we assess the

IntroductionThe production of resting cysts is a key dispersal and survival strategy of many dinoflagellate species. However, little is known about the role of suspended cysts in the benthic nepheloid layer (BNL) in the initiation and decline of ...

Resting cysts of planktonic dinoflagellates, once produced, sink to the seabed where they can remain viable for a long time. These cysts have important ecological roles, such as acting as the inoculum for the development of planktonic populations ...

Palsys.org: an open-access taxonomic and stratigraphic database of organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts [PDF]
It is with great pleasure that we introduce palsys.org (https://palsys.org/genus/, last access: 8 December 2023), a fully open-access taxonomic, stratigraphic and image database of organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts.
