Life cycle and molecular phylogeny of the dinoflagellates Chytriodinium and Dissodinium, ectoparasites of copepod eggs.
The dinoflagellates Chytriodinium affine, C. roseum and Dissodinium pseudolunula are ectoparasites of crustacean eggs. Here, we present new observations regarding their life cycle based on coastal plankton samples and incubations and analyze their molecular phylogeny using the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (SSU rDNA) as a marker. In contrast to the typical stages already documented for its l...
متن کاملPredation by the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Protoperidiniurn cf. divergens on copepod eggs and early naupliar stages
The heterotrophic dinoflagellate Protopemdinium cf. divergens, known as prey for adult copepods, itself feeds on copepod eggs and early naupliar stages. One to several P. cf. divergens can attack an egg or nauplius larger than themselves. The time for an egg to be digested was proportional to the number of P. cf. divergens attacking it. Ingestion rates of P, cf. djvergens on Acartia tonsa eggs ...
متن کاملColloquium on diatom–copepod interactions
From 3 to 6 November 2002, a colloquium was convened at the Benthos Laboratory of the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn on Ischia, Italy, with the goal of evaluating the present status of the effects of diatoms on their main consumers, planktonic copepods, and to develop future research strategies to enhance our understanding of such interactions. These included (1) toxic effects of diatom metabol...
متن کاملAn expert diagnosis system for classification of human parasite eggs based on multi-class SVM
In this paper, it is proposed a new methodology based on invariant moments and multi-class support vector machine (MCSVM) for classification of human parasite eggs in microscopic images. The MCSVM is one of the most used classifiers but it has not used for classification of human parasite eggs to date. This method composes four stages. These are pre-processing stage, feature extraction stage, c...
متن کاملA quantitative trait locus for recognition of foreign eggs in the host of a brood parasite.
Avian brood parasites reduce the reproductive output of their hosts and thereby select for defence mechanisms such as ejection of parasitic eggs. Such defence mechanisms simultaneously select for counter-defences in brood parasites, causing a coevolutionary arms race. Although coevolutionary models assume that defences and counter-defences are genetically influenced, this has never been demonst...
