The number of distal appendages reflects the number India; Cretaceous of plates forming the horns. We include these forms in the new species Muderongia gangapurensis sp. nov. The dinoflagellate cysts recovered suggest a late Berriasian to Valanginian for the lower part and a Hauterivian/Barremian age for the upper part of the studied interval of MJR-11 borehole. Unusual Muderongia and Odontochitina cysts bearing similar long appendages have only occasionally been described or illustrated in the literature from sediments rich in continental organic matter. We suggest that Cretaceous Ceratiaceae bearing such appendages are cysts of thecae that encysted in particular environments, where light, salinity, temperature and chemistry of water masses might have been key to their development. Our conclusion is supported by the high morphological variability of horns in modern Ceratiaceae, which reflects environmental factors. We discuss the plasticity of horns in the fossil record and note that such plasticity is recurring in Ceratiaceae, at least in the Early Cretaceous (145 Ma). 1.

    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.

The morphology and physiology of these microalgae are important because HAB species have adaptive characteristics. The production of high concentrations of paralytic toxins by Ceratium dinoflagellates has only been documented at the experimental level. However, this genus has been associated with the mortality of aquatic organisms, including oyster and shrimp larva, and fish, and with decreased water quality. Recently, fishermen reported massive mortality of encaged fish near Tortuga Island (Gulf of Nicoya). Samples were taken from an algal bloom that had produced an orange coloration and had a strong foul-smelling odor. Ultrastructural details were examined with scanning electron microscopy. The dinoflagellates Ceratium dens, C. furca and C. fusus were found in samples taken at the surface. The cell count revealed four million cells of this genus per liter. The morphological variability of these species is high; therefore electron microscopy is an useful tool in the ultrastructural study of these organisms.

Box 28, Edgewater, Maryland 21037, and bHorn Point Laboratory, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, P.O. Box 775, Cambridge, Maryland 21613, USA ABSTRACT. Ceratium furca is a primarily photosynthetic dinoflagellate also capable of ingesting other protists. During 1995 and 1996, we documented the abundance of C. furca in Chesapeake Bay and determined grazing rates on prey labeled with fluorescent microspheres. Abundance usually remained below 20 cells ml-', although the species was capable of localized late-summer blooms (5 478 cells ml-I) in the more saline lower to mid-Bay region. Feeding rates ranged from 0 to 0.1 1 prey dinoflagellate-' h-I or from 0 to 37 pg C dinoflagellate-' h-' and were highest at lower salinities. Clearance rates averaged 2.5 i 0.35 p1 dinoflagellate-' h-I. Impact of C. furca feeding on prey populations was higher in the lower Bay, averaging 67% of Strobilidium spp. removed d-I. Ingestion rates were positively correlated with prey abundance and dissolved inorganic nitrogen, but negatively with salinity, depth, dissolved inorganic phosphorus, and inorganic P:N ratio. Daily consumption of prey biomass by C. furca averaged 4.6% of body carbon, 6.5% of body nitrogen, and 4.0% of body phosphorus, with maximal values of 36, 51, and 32%, respectively.
