Editing Dinoflagellate (section)

====Introduction====
Dinoflagellate blooms are generally unpredictable, short, with low species diversity, and with little species succession.<ref name="Smayda2002">{{cite journal |last1=Smayda |first1=Theodore J. |author-link=Theodore J. Smayda |title=Adaptive ecology, growth strategies and the global bloom expansion of dinoflagellates |journal=Journal of Oceanography |volume=58 |issue=2 |year=2002 |pages=281–294 |issn=0916-8370 |doi=10.1023/A:1015861725470 |bibcode=2002JOce...58..281S |s2cid=55024118}}</ref> The low species diversity can be due to multiple factors. One way a lack of diversity may occur in a bloom is through a reduction in predation and a decreased competition. 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 dominance.<ref name="HuntleySykes1986">{{cite journal| vauthors = Huntley M, Sykes P, Rohan S, Marin V |title=Chemically-mediated rejection of dinoflagellate prey by the copepods ''Calanus pacificus'' and ''Paracalanus parvus'': mechanism, occurrence and significance |journal=Marine Ecology Progress Series |year=1986 |volume=28 |pages=105–120|doi=10.3354/meps028105 |bibcode=1986MEPS...28..105H |doi-access=free }}</ref>
