“…are global, bloomforming harmful dinoflagellates (Chang and Trench, 1982;Leblond and Chapman, 2002;Heil et al, 2004;Glibert et al, 2008b). Many ecological and physiological models have been developed to better understand bloom dynamics (Maier and Dandy, 1997;Thompson, 1998;Cloot and Pieterse, 1999;Walsh et al, 2001;Hood et al, 2006). The soundness of these models depends on sufficient parameterization of both environmental and physiological variables.…”
