This study reviews the trends in the lifestyle, habitat distribution and trophic diversity of the
2377 described species of dinoflagellates (Dinophyceae). Most of the dinoflagellates inhabit …

The cosmopolitan presence of dinoflagellates in aquatic habitats is now believed to be a
direct consequence of the different trophic modes they have developed through evolution …

Syndiniales are a parasitic order within the eukaryotic lineage Dinophyceae (Alveolata).
Here, we analysed the taxonomy of this group using 43655 18S rRNA gene sequences …

Background Zooplankton play an important role in our oceans, in biogeochemical cycling
and providing a food source for commercially important fish larvae. However, difficulties in …

Dinoflagellates are common to abundant in both marine and freshwater environments. They
are particularly diverse in the marine plankton where some cause “red tides” and other …

Community dynamics are central in microbial ecology, yet we lack studies comparing
diversity patterns among marine protists and prokaryotes over depth and multiple years …

Se presentan un inventario y una clasificación de las especies de dinoflagelados actuales.
Los dinoflagelados dinocariontes (incluyendo los Noctilucales) están formados por 2,294 …

Alveolates are a recently recognized group of unicellular eukaryotes that unites disparate
protists including apicomplexan parasites (which cause malaria and toxoplasmosis) …

Antarctica is arguably the world's most important continent for influencing the Earth's climate
and ocean ecosystem function. The unique physico-chemical properties of the Southern …

Previous environmental surveys of eukaryotic diversity using the small subunit ribosomal
RNA (SSU rRNA) gene have revealed many clone sequences that branch near the base of …
