Microalgal blooms are a natural part of the seasonal cycle of photosynthetic organisms in
marine ecosystems. They are key components of the structure and dynamics of the oceans …

We review the spatial distribution of toxic marine microalgal species and the impacts of all
types of harmful algal events (Harmful Algal Blooms, HABs) in the Mediterranean Sea (MS) …

There is increasing concern that accelerating environmental change attributed to human-
induced warming of the planet may substantially alter the patterns, distribution and intensity …

Sea surface temperatures in the world's oceans are projected to warm by 0.4–1.4° C by mid
twenty-first century causing many tropical and sub-tropical harmful dinoflagellate genera like …

Of the known benthic, toxigenic microalgae, species from the genera, Gambierdiscus and
Ostreopsis, present the biggest threats to human and environmental health. Gambierdiscus …

Harmful benthic microalgae blooms represent an emergent phenomenon in temperate
zones, causing health, ecological and economic concern. The main goal of this work was to …

Since the late 1990s, a respiratory syndrome has been repetitively observed in humans
concomitant with Ostreopsis spp. blooms (mainly O. cf. ovata) in the Mediterranean area …

Blooms of the benthic dinoflagellate Ostreopsis have been related to sporadic acute
respiratory symptoms and general malaise in people exposed to marine aerosols on some …

Anthropogenic marine eutrophication has been recognized as one of the major threats to
aquatic ecosystem health. In recent years, eutrophication phenomena, prompted by global …

Harmful benthic microalgae blooms are an emerging phenomenon causing health and
economic concern, especially in tourist areas. This is the case of the Mediterranean Sea …
