Some species are also important because they form blooms and/or produce toxins that may cause diverse problems. The composition of planktonic dinoflagellates of the orders Prorocentrales and Dinophysiales, in the Veracruz Reef System, were obtained during the period of October 2006 to January 2007. For this, samples were taken from the surface at 10 stations with net of 30μm mesh, and were analyzed by light and scanning electron microscopy. Each species was described and illustrated, measured and their distribution and ecological data is also given. A total of nine species were found and identified, belonging to four genera: Dinophysis was represented by three species; Prorocentrum by three, Phalacroma by two, and only one species of Ornithocercus was detected. From the samples, four potentially toxin-producer species were found: Dinophysis caudata, D. rapa, Phalacroma rotundata and Prorocentrum micans. The number of species found in this study is low, especially considering the higher numbers observed in other areas of the Gulf of Mexico, where some reports have recorded up to 53 species of the order Dinophysiales and 14 for Prorocentrales. Identification keys for orders, genera and species for the study area are provided with this study. Keywords Dinoflagellates, morphology, phytoplankton, Veracruz Reef System, taxonomy.

Molecular Data and the Evolutionary History of Dinoflagellates by Juan Fernando Saldarriaga Echavarria Diplom, Ruprecht-Karls-Un
Molecular data and the evolutionary history of dinoflagellates by Juan Fernando Saldarriaga Echavarria Diplom, Ruprecht-Karls-Universitat Heidelberg, 1993 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES Department of Botany We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA November 2003 © Juan Fernando Saldarriaga Echavarria, 2003 ABSTRACT New sequences of ribosomal and protein genes were combined with available morphological and paleontological data to produce a phylogenetic framework for dinoflagellates. The evolutionary history of some of the major morphological features of the group was then investigated in the light of that framework. Phylogenetic trees of dinoflagellates based on the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (SSU) are generally poorly resolved but include many well- supported clades, and while combined analyses of SSU and LSU (large subunit ribosomal RNA) improve the support for several nodes, they are still generally unsatisfactory. Protein-gene based trees lack the degree of species representation necessary for meaningful in-group phylogenetic analyses, but do provide important insights to the phylogenetic position of dinoflagellates as a whole and on the identity of their close relatives. Molecular data agree with paleontology in suggesting an early evolutionary radiation of the group, but whereas paleontological data include only taxa with fossilizable cysts, the new data examined here establish that this radiation event included all dinokaryotic lineages, including athecate forms. Plastids were lost and replaced many times in dinoflagellates, a situation entirely unique for this group. Histones could well have been lost earlier in the lineage than previously assumed.

PROTISTS Shore and the Waves Are Large, Often the Largest of a Storm Event, and with a Long Period
(seas), and these waves can mobilize boulders. During this phase of the storm the rapid changes in current direction caused by these large, short-period waves generate high accelerative forces, and it is these forces that ultimately can move even large boulders. Traditionally, most rocky-intertidal ecological stud- ies have been conducted on rocky platforms where the substrate is composed of stable basement rock. Projec- tiles tend to be uncommon in these types of habitats, and damage from projectiles is usually light. Perhaps for this reason the role of projectiles in intertidal ecology has received little attention. Boulder-fi eld intertidal zones are as common as, if not more common than, rock plat- forms. In boulder fi elds, projectiles are abundant, and the evidence of damage due to projectiles is obvious. Here projectiles may be one of the most important defi ning physical forces in the habitat.

F. 09340, México. Accepted 13 May, 2010 A phylogenetic analysis of the Prorocentrum species is presented, that includes the sequences of the large and small ribosomal RNA subunits from 19 cultures from 13 of the 20 species reported in the Pacific coast of Mexico; the results showed that P. micans, P. gracile and P. mexicanum were the closest of species, that planktonic may be more recent than epibenthonic species and it is suggested that the probable ancestor of the Prorocentrum genus could be a round cell without apical spine, toxic and epibenthonic. Key words: Prorocentrum , parsimony analysis, dinoflagellates, LSUrDNA, SSUrDNA. INTRODUCTION Phylogenetic relationships between dinoflagellates based many new descriptions appearing during the last part of on DNA sequences of the small and large subunits of the 1800s until the 1970s when many synonyms were ribosomal RNA (SSUrDNA and LSUrDNA), have showed established and only one genus Prorocentrum was that this group of organisms consists of several recognized; until now, four genera are accepted (Guiry paraphyletic orders, one of which is Prorocentrales. and Guiry, 2007).

Mixotrophy Among Dinoflagellates1
J Eukaryn Microbiol.. 46(4). 1999 pp. 397-401 0 1999 by the Society of Protozoologists Mixotrophy among Dinoflagellates’ DIANE K. STOECKER University of Maryland Center for Environmentul Science, Horn Point Laboratory, P.O. Box 775, Cambridge, Marylund 21613, USA ABSTRACT. Mixotrophy, used herein for the combination of phototrophy and phagotrophy, is widespread among dinoflagellates. It occurs among most, perhaps all, of the extant orders, including the Prorocentrales, Dinophysiales, Gymnodiniales, Noctilucales, Gon- yaulacales, Peridiniales, Blastodiniales, Phytodiniales, and Dinamoebales. Many cases of mixotrophy among dinoflagellates are probably undocumented. Primarily photosynthetic dinoflagellates with their “own” plastids can often supplement their nutrition by preying on other cells. Some primarily phagotrophic species are photosynthetic due to the presence of kleptochloroplasts or algal endosymbionts. Some parasitic dinoflagellates have plastids and are probably mixotrophic. For most mixotrophic dinoflagellates, the relative importance of photosynthesis, uptake of dissolved inorganic nutrients, and feeding are unknown. However, it is apparent that mixotrophy has different functions in different physiological types of dinoflagellates. Data on the simultaneous regulation of photosynthesis, assimilation of dissolved inorganic and organic nutrients, and phagotophy by environmental parameters (irradiance, availablity of dissolved nutrients, availability of prey) and by life history events are needed in order to understand the diverse

Pigment-Based Chloroplast Types in Dinoflagellates
Vol. 465: 33–52, 2012 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published September 28 doi: 10.3354/meps09879 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Pigment-based chloroplast types in dinoflagellates Manuel Zapata1,†, Santiago Fraga2, Francisco Rodríguez2,*, José L. Garrido1 1Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas, CSIC, c/ Eduardo Cabello 6, 36208 Vigo, Spain 2Instituto Español de Oceanografía, Subida a Radio Faro 50, 36390 Vigo, Spain ABSTRACT: Most photosynthetic dinoflagellates contain a chloroplast with peridinin as the major carotenoid. Chloroplasts from other algal lineages have been reported, suggesting multiple plas- tid losses and replacements through endosymbiotic events. The pigment composition of 64 dino- flagellate species (122 strains) was analysed by using high-performance liquid chromatography. In addition to chlorophyll (chl) a, both chl c2 and divinyl protochlorophyllide occurred in chl c-con- taining species. Chl c1 co-occurred with chl c2 in some peridinin-containing (e.g. Gambierdiscus spp.) and fucoxanthin-containing dinoflagellates (e.g. Kryptoperidinium foliaceum). Chl c3 occurred in dinoflagellates whose plastids contained 19’-acyloxyfucoxanthins (e.g. Karenia miki- motoi). Chl b was present in green dinoflagellates (Lepidodinium chlorophorum). Based on unique combinations of chlorophylls and carotenoids, 6 pigment-based chloroplast types were defined: Type 1: peridinin/dinoxanthin/chl c2 (Alexandrium minutum); Type 2: fucoxanthin/ 19’-acyloxy fucoxanthins/4-keto-19’-acyloxy-fucoxanthins/gyroxanthin diesters/chl c2, c3, mono - galac to syl-diacylglycerol-chl c2 (Karenia mikimotoi); Type 3: fucoxanthin/19’-acyloxyfucoxan- thins/gyroxanthin diesters/chl c2, c3 (Karlodinium veneficum); Type 4: fucoxanthin/chl c1, c2 (K. foliaceum); Type 5: alloxanthin/chl c2/phycobiliproteins (Dinophysis tripos); Type 6: neoxanthin/ violaxanthin/a major unknown carotenoid/chl b (Lepidodinium chlorophorum).

Here, we present new observations regarding their life cycle based on coastal plankton samples and incubations and analyze their molecular phylogeny using the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (SSU rDNA) as a marker. In contrast to the typical stages already documented for its life cycle, we observed that D. pseudolunula dinospores may exceptionally differentiate inside a globular cyst. Despite its parasitic life style, the cysts and dinospores of D. pseudolunula contain chlorophyll a. We obtained the first SSU rDNA sequences for the genera Chytriodinium (the type C. roseum and C. affine) and Dissodinium (D. pseudolunula). Classical taxonomical schemes have ascribed these genera to the order Blastodiniales. However, our SSU rDNA-based phylogenetic analysis shows that these ectoparasites form a clade in the Gymnodinium sensu stricto group, unarmored dinokaryotic dinoflagellates of the order Gymnodiniales. They branch in a subgroup composed of warnowiids, polykrikoids, the type of Gymnodinium, G.

The western Caribbean has been extensively studied for benthic dinoflagellates associated with ciguatera, and fifteen Prorocentrum species were described from mangroves and coral reefs of Belize. In contrast, no study reported the diversity of this genus in the Eastern Caribbean, especially in the Lesser Antilles. This study adds to the biodiversity knowledge in Martinique Island by investigating one site of the Caribbean coast from 2010 to 2017. Sediment samples were collected each year in March and studied taxonomically. Identification was realized morphologically by scanning electron microscopy, while the partial large subunit (LSU) ribosomal DNA was sequenced for 42 isolated specimens (single-cells) and one strain in culture. A molecular phylogenetic analysis revealed 11 OTUs from Martinique, identified morphologically as P. concavum, P. cf. foraminosum, P. cf. tropicale, P. lima, P. hoffmannianum, P. cf. norrisianum, P.

A New Marine Species of Amphidinium (Dinophyceae) from Thermaikos Gulf, Greece
Acta Protozool. (2009) 48: 153–170 ACTA PROTOZOOLOGICA A New Marine Species of Amphidinium (Dinophyceae) from Thermaikos Gulf, Greece Nicolas P. DOLAPSAKIS and Athena ECONOMOU-AMILLI Faculty of Biology, Department of Ecology and Systematics, University of Athens, Athens, Greece Summary. Genus Amphidinium Claparède et Lachmann (Gymnodiniales, Dinophyceae) sensu lato has recently undergone a reappraisal using extended microscopical methods and genetic comparisons, with the type species and morphologically similar species used for the redescription of the genus Amphidinium sensu stricto. Within the latter concept of the genus, the new species Amphidinium thermaeum is established using light and scanning electron microscopy in combination with LSU rDNA phylogeny. This species was isolated from the Thermaikos Gulf in Greece, and its description is largely based on observations of cultured material. The main diacritic features distin- guishing A. thermaeum from related taxa were: shape, size and plasticity of the cell, position of distal and proximal cingulum ends, site of longitudinal flagellar insertion, sulcal course, pusule details, plastid characteristics, and mode of cell division. Genetic phylogeny applying Bayesian Inference, Maximum Likelihood, and Neighbor-Joining analyses, places A. thermaeum in an independent position within the Amphidinium sensu stricto monophyletic group, and the new species is closely related to its small and morphologically similar siblings (A. massartii, A. klebsii, A. trulla, A. gibbosum, A. carterae). Key words: Amphidinium thermaeum sp. nov., Dinophyceae, microscopy, LSU rDNA, molecular phylogeny. INTRODUCTION gal blooms (e.g., Herdman 1911, Baig et al. 2006) and some are toxic to other organisms (cytotoxic, ichthyo- toxic, or haemolytic, e.g., Steidinger 1983, Yasumoto Species belonging to genus Amphidinium Claparède et Lachmann, 1859 emend.
