In most marine and fresh-water environments, microscopic, plant-like organisms occur naturally in the surface layer, referred to as phytoplankton or microalgae. They form the base of the food chain upon which nearly all ...

We present experiments that examined the grazing and survivorship of zooplankton native (Acartia tonsa) and non-native (Artemia salina) to NY (USA) estuaries when exposed to blooms and cultures of the three harmful algae ...

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) constitute a worldwide problem, affecting aquatic ecosystems, public health and local economies. Supported by the International Atomic Energy Agency since 2009, Latin America and the Caribbean ...

Traditionally temperate and hyper-humid, western Patagonia experienced its most severe drought during the summer and fall of 2016. Along with precipitation deficits larger than 50% there was a similar reduction in river ...

Traditionally a temperate and hyper-humid region, western Patagonia experienced its most severe drought during the summer and fall of 2016. Along with precipitation deficits larger than 50% there was a similar reduction ...

Global trends in the occurrence, toxicity and risk posed by harmful algal blooms to natural systems, human health and coastal economies are poorly constrained, but are widely thought to be increasing due to climate change ...

The phytoplankton assemblages studied in the coastal waters of the Inner Sea of Chiloe followed the typical evolution of a spring/autumn diatom bloom alternating with a summer dinoflagellate bloom. The seasonal blooms ...
