The cosmopolitan, species-rich diatom genus Pseudo-nitzschia represents a good system for the study of speciation, evolution and diversity. Understanding elements linked to population dynamics and life cycle regulation for these species is of particular importance in view of their ability to produce the toxin domoic acid and cause harmful blooms. Pseudo-nitzschia multistriata, one of the toxic species that...
