• The globally distributed genus Alexandrium: multifaceted roles in marine ecosystems and impacts on human health (2012, background): “…analogues among Alexandrium populations, it has long been postulated and even assumed that these potent sodium-channel blocking neurotoxins act ecologically as a classic chemical defense against grazers and competitors (reviewed by Cembella, 2003) in the ‘‘watery arms race’’ sensu Smetacek (2001).”
• Phytoplankton community ecology: principles applied in San Francisco Bay (2005, unknown): “Some algal taxa synthesize biochemicals that are essential dietary components for animal consumers (Müller-Navarra et al. 2004), while others produce potent toxins to disrupt animal growth or reproduction (Cembella 2003).”
• Azadinium spinosum gen. et sp. nov. (Dinophyceae) identified as a primary producer of azaspiracid toxins (2009, background): “Toxigenicity is a highly variable phenotypic characteristic at the genus, specific and even population level among dinoflagellates (Cembella, 2003).”
• The time for sex: A biennial life cycle in a marine planktonic diatom (2010, background): “We do not have direct evidence for our hypothesis; however, the production of allelopathic metabolites (Cembella 2003) or pheromonelike compounds (Haché 2000) only within a specific cell size interval might be responsible for providing aggregation and/or mutual coordination in diatom cells.”
• Progress in understanding harmful algal blooms (HABs): Paradigm shifts and new technologies for research, monitoring and management (2012, background): “The latter two adaptations involve the production and release of secondary metabolites (see reviews in Cembella 2003, Legrand et al. 2003). action of the allelochemicals produced by certain HAB taxa that affect species interactions, but are typically distinct from the known phycotoxins.”
• Harmful Algae Interactions with Marine Planktonic Grazers (2006, background): “bioluminescence, chromosome structural organization, pheromones for induction of sexuality, or they may be vestigial remnants of archaic pathways for nucleic acid biosynthesis (Cembella 2003).”
