Zooplankton is a morphologically and taxonomically diverse group and includes organisms
that vary in size by many orders of magnitude, but they are all faced with the common …

Planktonic mixotrophic and heterotrophic dinoflagellates are ubiquitous protists and often
abundant in marine environments. Recently many phototrophic dinoflagellate species have …

Increasing global temperatures are having a profound impact in the Arctic, including the
dramatic loss of multiyear sea ice in 2007 that has continued to the present. The majority of …

Calcifying marine phytoplankton—coccolithophores—are some of the most successful yet
enigmatic organisms in the ocean and are at risk from global change. To better understand …

Diatoms are a major component of phytoplankton community. They tend to dominate under
natural high-nutrient concentrations, as well as during artificial Fe fertilisation experiments …

Mixotrophy, used herein for the combination of phototrophy and phagotrophy, is widespread
among dinoflagellates. It occurs among most, perhaps all, of the extant orders, including the …

This review summarizes evidence that heterotrophic (non-pigmented, phagotrophic)
dinoflagellates are often a significant component of the biomass of phagotrophic protists in …

The dinoflagellate genus Dinophysis includes several species that cause diarrhetic shellfish
poisoning, none of which have yet been established in culture. We report on the …

Exploring climate and anthropogenic impacts on marine ecosystems requires an
understanding of how trophic components interact. However, integrative end-to-end …
