Seasonal genotype dynamics of a marine dinoflagellate: Pelagic populations are homogeneous and as diverse as benthic seed banks

Jacqueline Jerney et al.

Summary: This study on the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium ostenfeldii found that the benthic seed bank and pelagic population were equally diverse, and the pelagic population remained temporally homogeneous despite seasonal fluctuation. Frequent sexual reproduction and benthic-pelagic coupling help maintain high clonal diversity in both habitats, preventing dominance of single clonal lineages and seasonal population differentiation.

Toxic Alexandrium catenella expanding northward along the Chilean coast: New risk of paralytic shellfish poisoning off the Bio-Bio region (36 degrees S)

Javier Paredes-Mella et al.

Summary: Since its first detection in 1972 in Chile's Magallanes Region, the toxic dinoflagellate A. catenella has shown an apparent oceanic range expansion from south to the north. In 2018-2019, A. catenella was detected for the first time in the northern areas off the Bio-Bio Region, marking the northernmost detection of this species on the Pacific coast of Chile. This discovery has important implications for species monitoring and governmental management in the Bio-Bio Region.
