TLDR
Data on morphology, ITS/5.8S genetic distances, ITS2 compensatory base changes, mating incompatibilities, toxicity, the sxtA toxin synthesis gene, and rDNA phylogenies were consistent with each group representing a distinct cryptic species.About:

TL;DR: High-resolution sea-surface temperature records and temperature-dependent growth rates of two algae that produce potent biotoxins are used and it is concluded that increasing ocean temperature is an important factor facilitating the intensification of these, and likely other, HABs and thus contributes to an expanding human health threat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of regulated and unregulated disinfection byproducts during chlorination of algal organic matter extracted from freshwater and marine algae.
TL;DR: Based on the cytotoxicity calculations, unregulated HANs and HALs were the main contributors for the total toxicity of DBPs measured, even though based on the weight regulated THMs and HAAs predominated.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Return to Linnaeus's Focus on Diagnosis, Not Description: The Use of DNA Characters in the Formal Naming of Species.
TL;DR: It is argued for DNA-based diagnoses of new species becoming a recommendation in all Codes of Nomenclature, not just the bacterial code.
Journal ArticleDOI
Harmful algal blooms and associated fisheries damage in East Asia: Current status and trends in China, Japan, Korea and Russia.
TL;DR: Time series data suggest a shift in microalgal species composition, from dominance by diatoms to dinoflagellates after 1980s in Korea, and from di atoms to small haptophytes and cyanobacteria after 2013 in eastern Russia.

MAFFT version 5: improvement in accuracy of multiple sequence alignment
TL;DR: Improvement in accuracy was generally observed for most methods, but remarkably large for the new options of MAFFT proposed here, which showed higher accuracy than currently available methods including TCoffee version 2 and CLUSTAL W in benchmark tests consisting of alignments of >50 sequences.

TL;DR: This book is intended to provide a jumping-off point for future generations of plant taxonomists to assess the phytochemical properties ofruits and vegetables in the context of E.coli.
