In the past decade, research on long‐term persistence of phytoplankton resting stages has
intensified. Simultaneously, insight into life‐cycle variability in the diverse groups of …

DNA can be preserved in marine and freshwater sediments both in bulk sediment and in
intact, viable resting stages. Here, we assess the potential for combined use of ancient …

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 …

Despite the recent increase in knowledge concerning microorganisms, the processes
determining their global distribution and functioning have not been disentangled. Microbial …

An asteroid impact at the end of the Cretaceous caused mass extinction, but extinction
mechanisms are not well-understood. The collapse of sea surface to sea floor carbon …

We describe stromatolites forming at an altitude of 3570 m at the shore of a volcanic lake
Socompa, Argentinean Andes. The water at the site of stromatolites formation is alkaline …

Here we document Alexandrium fundyense cyst abundance and distribution patterns over
nine years (1997 and 2004–2011) in the coastal waters of the Gulf of Maine (GOM) and …

2011. Buried alive–germination of up to a century-old marine protist resting stages …

The studies on the species diversity, distribution, environmental implications, and molecular
basis of resting cysts (stages) of dinoflagellates and a few species of other groups …

Coastal plankton show fluctuations in abundance and species composition. Resting stage
(cyst) production is a common strategy adopted by hundreds of plankton species to ensure …
