Stoichiometric regulation of phytoplankton toxins.
Ecological Stoichiometry theory predicts that the production, elemental structure and cellular content of biomolecules should depend on the relative availability of resources and the elemental composition of their producer organism. We review the extent to which carbon- and nitrogen-rich phytoplankton toxins are regulated by nutrient limitation and cellular stoichiometry. Consistent with theory...
متن کاملCorrigendum to Van de Waal et al. 2014: stoichiometric regulation of phytoplankton toxins.
In our article Van de Waal et al. (2014), we based our analysis on response ratios instead of ln-transformed values of these ratios (Borenstein et al. 2009). To check for potential biases that may have been introduced due to this error, we have re-analysed our data. We would like to emphasise that the main conclusions of our paper are robust and do not require modification following these impro...
متن کاملModelling the Stoichiometric Regulation of C-Rich Toxins in Marine Dinoflagellates
Toxin production in marine microalgae was previously shown to be tightly coupled with cellular stoichiometry. The highest values of cellular toxin are in fact mainly associated with a high carbon to nutrient cellular ratio. In particular, the cellular accumulation of C-rich toxins (i.e., with C:N > 6.6) can be stimulated by both N and P deficiency. Dinoflagellates are the main producers of C-ri...
متن کاملDinoflagellate toxins in northern Baltic sea phytoplankton and zooplankton assemblages
The distribution of dinoflagellate toxins (OA, DTXs, PTXs, YTXs) in plankton communities was studied in the northern Baltic Sea during late summers of 2005 and 2006. The phycotoxins were analysed from samples that contained field collected microplankton in the size range of 20–76 μm, zooplankton collected with a net, and individually hand-picked copepods from open-sea and coastal sampling stati...
متن کاملCan consumer stoichiometric regulation control nutrient spiraling in streams?
Homeostatic organisms regulate their elemental composition by retaining nutrients that are limiting and eliminating those in excess. We argue that this type of homeostatic regulation by consumers might decouple the downstream movement of limiting and nonlimiting nutrients in streams. To illustrate the influence of consumers on nutrient spiraling, we developed a longitudinal model of stream nutr...
