Traditionally, diatoms have been regarded as providing the bulk of the food that sustains the
marine food chain and important fisheries. However, this view was challenged almost two …

Marine chemical ecology comprises the study of the production and interaction of bioactive
molecules affecting organism behavior and function. Here we focus on bioactive compounds …

Isolates of five pelagic North Atlantic marine diatoms (Bacillariophyceae): Attheya
longicornis, Chaetoceros socialis, Chaetoceros furcellatus, Skeletonema marinoi and …

Diatoms are one of the main primary producers in aquatic ecosystems and occupy a vital
link in the transfer of photosynthetically-fixed carbon through aquatic food webs. Diatoms …

Diatoms are an important class of unicellular algae that produce bioactive polyunsaturated
aldehydes (PUAs) that induce abortions or malformations in the offspring of invertebrates …

Chemicals produced by aquatic organisms, and especially micro‐organisms, have received
increasing attention in the last decade for their role in shaping interactions and communities …

Diatoms are eukaryotic microalgae representing one of the major groups in the marine
phytoplankton, accounting for up to 40% of annual productivity at sea. They are widely …

Diatoms are the dominant component of the marine phytoplankton. Several diatoms produce
secondary metabolites, namely oxylipins, with teratogenic effects on their main predators …

This chapter considers food web and ecosystemlevel impacts of major groups of harmful
algae in US and nearby waters. Harmful algal blooms (HAB) cause a “vast array” of food …

Background Copepods are fundamental components of pelagic food webs, but reports on
how molecular responses link to reproductive success in natural populations are still scarce …
