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

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 …

Our limited intuition of the small‐scale world of the plankton has biased the way we describe
and understand ocean ecology. Classical approaches consider fluxes of energy and matter …

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

The interdisciplinary field of marine chemical ecology is an expanding and dynamic science.
It is no surprise that the breadth of marine organisms studied expanded in concert with …

Zooplankton are critical to the vitality of estuaries and coastal waters. In this revised edition
of Johnson and Allen's instant classic, readers are taken on a tour of the miniature universe …

For an algal bloom to develop, the growth rate of the bloom‐forming species must exceed
the sum of all loss processes. Among these loss processes, grazing is generally believed to …

The activities of unicellular microbes dominate the ecology of the marine environment, but
the chemical signals that determine behavioral interactions are poorly known. In particular …

Three types of feeding mechanisms are known in dinoflagellates: pallium feeding, tube
feeding, and direct engulfment. Pallium feeding has only been described for heterotrophic …

Microzooplankton dominate trophic interactions and biogeochemical processes at the base
of pelagic marine food webs and so their responses to a changing ocean environment have …
