Marine Biotoxins: Occurrence, Toxicity, Regulatory Limits and Reference Methods
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Harmful algal blooms are natural phenomena caused by the massive growth of phytoplankton that may contain highly toxic chemicals, the so-called marine biotoxins causing illness and even death to both aquatic organisms and humans.

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1904-1921, August 2026.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 ...

Shellfish Toxins Targeting Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels
Marine Drugs, 2013 Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) play a central role in the generation and propagation of action potentials in excitable neurons and other cells and are targeted by commonly used local anesthetics, antiarrhythmics, and anticonvulsants. They are also

Using Machine Learning to Predict Phytoplankton Blooms in the Salish Sea
Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Strong phytoplankton blooms occur every spring in the Salish Sea, but vary significantly, spatially and temporally. Natural variability and climate change make the prediction of the bloom challenging, as they affect both atmospheric drivers and nutrient interactions that contribute to the growth of phytoplankton. Understanding these drivers is

Social information about others' affective states in a human‐altered world
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1311-1325, August 2026.Faced with anthropogenic change, animals now encounter challenges different from their evolutionary past. To cope with such challenges, animals may use social information about others' affective states to guide their decisions. Considering affective states of wild animals could have important implications for animal welfare and wildlife conservation ...
