Shifting diatom—dinoflagellate dominance during spring bloom in the Baltic Sea and its potential effects on biogeochemical cycling
The Baltic Sea is affected by a range of human induced environmental pressures such as
eutrophication. Here we synthesize the ongoing shift from diatom dominance toward more …

Microalgal community structure and primary production in Arctic and Antarctic sea ice: A synthesis
Sea ice is one the largest biomes on earth, yet it is poorly described by biogeochemical and
climate models. In this paper, published and unpublished data on sympagic (ice-associated) …

Towards an ecological understanding of dinoflagellate cyst functions
I Bravo, RI Figueroa - Microorganisms, 2014 - mdpi.com
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 …

Phytoplankton growth after a century of dormancy illuminates past resilience to catastrophic darkness
Photosynthesis evolved in the oceans more than 3 billion years ago and has persisted
throughout all major extinction events in Earth's history. The most recent of such events is …

[HTML][HTML] The intricacies of dinoflagellate pellicle cysts: the example of Alexandrium minutum cysts from a bloom-recurrent area (Bay of Baiona, NW Spain)
The terms “temporary”,“pellicle”, and “ecdysal” cyst have been employed arbitrarily in the
literature of the dinoflagellate life cycle to describe a non-motile and single-layered-wall …

Dark survival in a warming world
Most algae regularly experience periods of darkness ranging from a few hours to a few days.
During this time, they are unable to photosynthesize, and so must consume stored energy …

Transcriptomic Analyses of Scrippsiella trochoidea Reveals Processes Regulating Encystment and Dormancy in the Life Cycle of a Dinoflagellate, with a Particular …
Due to the vital importance of resting cysts in the biology and ecology of many
dinoflagellates, a transcriptomic investigation on Scrippsiella trochoidea was conducted with …

Effects of light and prey availability on Arctic freshwater protist communities examined by high-throughput DNA and RNA sequencing
Protists in high-latitude lakes are constrained by cold temperatures, low inorganic nutrient
supply and low light availability for much of the year due to ice cover and polar darkness …
