The first may be achieved by having predators reject the dinoflagellate, by, for example, decreasing the amount of food it can eat. This additionally helps prevent a future increase in predation pressure by causing predators that reject it to lack the energy to breed. A species can then inhibit the growth of its competitors, thus achieving ...
For example, Lingulodinium polyedra and Akashiwo sanguinea are two species of mixotrophic dinoflagellates that are known to feed on the toxic dinoflagellate, Alexandrium tamarense. [9] Certain species of mixotrophic dinoflagellates can be affected by light intensity and nutrient conditions .

The plates contain expanded horns, which is a characteristic feature of Ceratium species. [2] Species tend to have different shaped horns depending whether they are freshwater or marine species. [6] Their morphology depends on the temperature and salinity of the surrounding environment. [7] Species can be identified based on the shape of their ...

Many species from the same location had been given several names. The group included for example the genus: Gonyaulax, Goniodoma, Pyrodinium, Alexandrium, Gessnerium, Protogonyaulax, and Glenodinium. In 1971, the group was revised by Steidinger, who suggested that the "tamarensis group" should be separated from Gonyaulax.

Some predatory algae have evolved extreme survival strategies. For example, Oxyrrhis marina can turn cannibalistic on its own species when no suitable non-self prey is available, [11] and Pfiesteria and related species have been discovered to kill and feed on fish, and since have been (mistakenly) referred to as carnivorous "algae" by the media.
