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

The genus Ostreopsis includes species largely distributed from tropical to temperate marine
areas worldwide. Among the nine species of the genus, O. siamensis, O. mascarenensis, O …

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 …

In the open sea, primary production is almost totally based on photosynthesis by pelagic
unicellular or colonial microalgae, collectively known as phytoplankton. Benthic algae are …

Abstract In the Southeast Asian region, the Philippines and Malaysia are two of the most
affected by Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs). Using long-term observations of HAB events, we …

Several isolates of epiphytic dinoflagellates belonging to the genera Ostreopsis Schmidt and
Coolia Meunier from the western Mediterranean Sea were examined by LM and EM, toxicity …

The examination of macrophyte, water and sediment samples, collected at depths less than
1.5 m from 50 different sites along the North Aegean coasts, has revealed, for the first time in …

The dinoflagellate genus, Ostreopsis Schmidt, has an increasingly global distribution. It
blooms in temperate to tropical coastal waters, and toxic species are present in all regions in …

Dinoflagellate taxonomy is based primarily on morphology and morphometric data that can
be difficult to obtain. In contrast, molecular data can be rapidly and cost‐effectively acquired …

Aim Ostreopsis is a benthic and epiphytic dinoflagellate producing potent toxins widespread
in tropical and warm temperate coastal areas world‐wide. We tested the hypothesis that as it …
