AI Article Synopsis
- 59 species of the genus Protoperidinium have been identified in the Black Sea, but many records lack visual confirmation and key diagnostic traits.
- To address these gaps, a study was conducted that included morphological examinations of the dominant Protoperidinium species.
- The research resulted in original descriptions, line drawings, and microphotographs for 22 species, along with their global distribution maps, including the first report of Protoperidinium quadrioblongum in the Black Sea.
Article Abstract
To date, 59 species (61 including infraspecific taxa) of the heterotrophic genus Protoperidinium have been found in the Black Sea. With rare exceptions, the records of most species were not confirmed by either line drawings or microphotographs, and lacked indications of important diagnostic traits. To partially correct these deficiencies, we conducted morphological examinations of the dominant Protoperidinium species in the Black Sea. The study provides original descriptions, line drawings, and microphotographs of 22 species of Protoperidinium with their global distribution maps. Protoperidinium quadrioblongum is reported from the Black Sea for the first time.
