| Abstract |
Studies on dormant resting cysts of the dinoflagellates Scrippsiella lachrymosa Lewis 1991 and S. trifida Lewis 1991 from Recent North Sea sediments suggest that their motile forms, which have not yet been officially recorded in this area till now, are common members of the North Sea plankton community. Cyst surveys offer avenues to overcome problems in spatial and temporal distributions and in taxonomy, and will help the compilation of a phytoplankton inventory in an area. |
