Structure of the saxiphilin:saxitoxin (STX) complex reveals a convergent molecular recognition strategy for paralytic toxins. [PDF]
, 2019 Dinoflagelates and cyanobacteria produce saxitoxin (STX), a lethal bis-guanidinium neurotoxin causing paralytic shellfish poisoning. A number of metazoans have soluble STX-binding proteins that may prevent STX intoxication.

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.

Health and Environmental Impacts of Cyanobacteria and Cyanotoxins from Freshwater to Seawater
ToxinsCyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) are a natural phenomenon produced mainly by the interaction between natural and anthropogenic events. CyanoHABs are characterized by the production of cyanotoxins that can have harmful effects on different ...
