This review discusses the main developments in the systematics of coccoid green algae
over the last three decades. The relationships of key groups of planktonic coccoid green …

The activities of unicellular microbes dominate the ecology of the marine environment, but
the chemical signals that determine behavioral interactions are poorly known. In particular …

In January 2003, the US Environmental Protection Agency sponsored a “roundtable
discussion” to develop a consensus on the relationship between eutrophication and harmful …

Historically most harmful algal species (HAS) have been thought to be strictly phototrophic.
Mixotrophy, the use of phototrophy and heterotrophy in combination, has been emphasized …

Although ocean warming and acidification are recognized as two major anthropogenic
perturbations of today's oceans we know very little about how marine phytoplankton may …

The taxonomy of the green algal genus Dunaliella is often seen as confusing and the names
associated with species in culture collections are sometimes suspect. This paper evaluates …

Carbonates are the largest reservoirs of carbon on Earth. From mid‐Mesozoic time, the
biologically catalyzed precipitation of calcium carbonates by pelagic phytoplankton has …

Terrestrial algae have been studied at widespread Antarctic localities. However, their
diversity is not fully known as often collections have not been made from all habitats and …

Twenty-eight strains of toxic dinoflagellates in the genus Alexandrium from the northeastern
United States and Canada were characterized on the basis of morphology, bioluminescence …

Emiliania huxleyi clones CCMP 370 and CCMP 373 produced similar amounts of
dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) during axenic exponential growth, averaging 109 mM …
