Along the Florida coast, pigments in the "red tides" caused by Karenia brevis and other dinoflagellates signal toxic blooms. These toxins are transmitted by dinoflagellates of the species Gambierdiscus toxicus, which lives adhered to damaged coral reefs in tropical seas (2). However, most papers will only appeal to those with specific interests (for example, dinoflagellates of prevolcanic strata in West Greenland, genesis of Erland Volcano, emplacement of Faroe-Shetland sill complexes, sediment dispersal patterns in Foinaven Sub-basin, etc). |
