Phytoplankton composition and abundance as indicators of aquaculture effluents impact in coastal environments of mid Gulf of California

open access: yesHeliyon, 2021
Composition and abundance of phytoplankton in two areas of Gulf of California, one near (ND) and one far (FD) from shrimp farms discharge, were studied in 3 seasons: late fall (farms finishing operations); spring (farms not operating); and summer (farms ...

Change in rheotactic behavior patterns of dinoflagellates in response to different microfluidic environments

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Plankton live in dynamic fluid environments. Their ability to change in response to different hydrodynamic cues is critical to their energy allocation and resource uptake.

Molecular detection of bioluminescent dinoflagellates in surface waters of the Patagonian shelf during early austral summer 2008. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
We investigated the distribution of bioluminescent dinoflagellates in the Patagonian Shelf region using "universal" PCR primers for the dinoflagellate luciferase gene.

Microplastics in the menu of Mediterranean zooplankton: Insights from the feeding response of the calanoid copepod Centropages typicus

open access: yesMarine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Microplastic input into the ocean represents an increasing threat to marine biota and may endanger the functioning of marine ecosystems, especially in semi‐enclosed basins, such as the Mediterranean Sea. The size spectrum of microplastics overlaps with that of nano‐microplankton (2–200 μm), thus potentially misleading suspension‐feeding ...

Gene duplication is the primary driver of intraspecific genomic divergence in coral algal symbionts

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2023
Dinoflagellates in the order Suessiales include the family Symbiodiniaceae, which have essential roles as photosymbionts in corals, and their cold-adapted sister group, Polarella glacialis.

Islandinium pacificum sp. nov., a new dinoflagellate cyst from the upper Quaternary of the northeast Pacific [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
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

Dinoflagellates with relic endosymbiont nuclei as models for elucidating organellogenesis

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance We report here two previously undescribed dinoflagellates that can be models for elucidating the genome evolution associated with transforming an endosymbiotic alga into a plastid (organellogenesis).

The planktonic food web in the Gulf of Naples based on the analysis of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios

open access: yesMarine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Plankton play a key role in marine food webs by producing and transferring organic matter and energy to higher trophic levels. To define the trophic structure and interactions within the planktonic communities in the Gulf of Naples, we determined carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in particulate organic matter (POM, <20 μm ...

Trophic upgrading and mobilization of wax esters in microzooplankton [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Heterotrophic protists play pivotal roles in aquatic ecosystems by transferring matter and energy, including lipids, from primary producers to higher trophic predators.

Bysmatrum granulosum sp. nov., a new benthic dinoflagellate from the southwestern Indian Ocean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
A new benthic marine dino¯agellate, Bysmatrum granulosum Ten-Hage, Turquet, Quod & Couté, sp. nov., was obtained from sediment and coral samples from sites of La Réunion Island (SW Indian Ocean). This new species is described and illustrated by light and
