A review on the diversity and distribution of athecate dinoflagellates in South Atlantic and in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean: Research insights and gaps
Abstract This review summarizes the state of knowledge on athecate dinoflagellates occurring within the South Atlantic Ocean and Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean. We compiled data from 105 articles and selected 33 addressing any aspect of athecate dinoflagellate studies. Our aim is to discuss t...
