The chemical ecology of marine diatoms has been the subject of several studies in the last
decades, due to the discovery of oxylipins with multiple simultaneous functions including …

Covering: January 2013 to online publication December 2014 This review summarizes
recent research in the chemical ecology of marine pelagic ecosystems, and aims to provide …

The formation, propagation, and maintenance of harmful algal blooms are of interest due to
their negative effects on marine life and human health. Some bloom-forming algae utilize …

Rates of microzooplankton grazing and phytoplankton growth are seldom measured with
respect to time, yet such estimates may better reflect temporal variability in coastal …

Although plankton thin layers have been described and modeled in a variety of
environments, the physical structure surrounding the layer, associated biological rates, and …

For decades the microphytobenthos assemblage in the coastal Mediterranean Sea has
been regularly colonized by the toxic benthic dinoflagellate Ostreopsis cf. ovata. This …

Diatoms produce a series of cytotoxic secondary metabolites such as polyunsaturated
aldehydes (PUA) in response to cell injury or stress. However, little information exists on the …

Diatoms are dominant photosynthetic organisms in the world's oceans and are considered
essential in the transfer of energy to higher trophic levels. However, these unicellular …

Nitric oxide (NO) is an intermediate of the nitrogen cycle, an industrial pollutant, and a
marker of climate change. NO also acts as a gaseous transmitter in a variety of biological …

Diatoms are the dominant component of the marine phytoplankton. Several diatoms produce
secondary metabolites, namely oxylipins, with teratogenic effects on their main predators …
