The dinoflagellate genus Alexandrium is one of the major harmful algal bloom (HAB) genera
with respect to the diversity, magnitude and consequences of blooms. The ability of …

Bivalves were long thought to be “symptomless carriers” of marine microalgal toxins to
human seafood consumers. In the past three decades, science has come to recognize that …

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 …

The ability of certain harmful algal species to produce and release chemicals that inhibit the
growth of co-occurring phytoplankton species, here considered as allelopathy, is closely …

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

Competition is a major force structuring marine planktonic communities. The release of
compounds that inhibit competitors, a process known as allelopathy, may play a role in the …

This study explored the toxicity of triclosan in the presence of TiO2 P25 to the green alga
Eremosphaera viridis in Lake Erie. Multiple physicochemical end points were conducted to …

Molecular oxygen is essential to freshwater microalgae but its metabolic by-product known
as reactive oxygen species (ROS) is toxic at higher levels leading to oxidative stress …

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

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 …
