Emerging knowledge of mixoplankton—ubiquitous microbes that employ phototrophy and
phagotrophy synergistically in one cell—reshapes our knowledge of the flow of materials …

In aquatic ecosystems, unicellular algae form the basis of the food webs. Theoretical and
experimental studies have demonstrated that one of the mechanisms that maintain high …

Many protist plankton are mixotrophs, combining phototrophy and phagotrophy. Their role in
freshwater and marine ecology has emerged as a major develo** feature of plankton …

Intraspecific trait diversity can promote the success of a species, as complementarity of
functional traits within populations may enhance its competitive success and facilitates …

Facilitation occurs when one species positively impacts the fitness of another, and has
predominantly been studied in free-living species like plants. Facilitation can also occur …

Various species of Alexandrium can produce a number of bioactive compounds, eg,
paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs), spirolides, gymnodimines, goniodomins, and also …

Abstract The marine dinoflagellate Alexandrium Halim represents perhaps the most
significant and intensively studied genus with respect to species diversity, life history …

Ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) is a foodborne disease caused by the consumption of
seafood (fish and marine invertebrates) contaminated with ciguatoxins (CTXs) produced by …

“Infochemicals”(information‐conveying chemicals) dominate much of the underwater
communication in biological systems. They influence the movement and behavior of …

An increase in cases of ciguatera poisoning (CP) and expansion of the causative species in
the South Pacific region highlight the need for baseline data on toxic microalgal species to …
