The two domoicacid-producing diatoms Pseud<strong>on</strong>itzschiagalaxiae and P.multistriata regularly bloom in theGulf of Naples (Mediterranean Sea).The former species c<strong>on</strong>sists ofthree genetically distinct populati<strong>on</strong>swith different seas<strong>on</strong>al timing oftheir bloom, whereas the latterspecies generally blooms in latesummer-autumn, with a sec<strong>on</strong>darypeak in early winter. The temporaldynamics of their cell size spectrummay provide a hint for theoccurrence of sexual reproducti<strong>on</strong>.Do the different species havedistinct envir<strong>on</strong>mental windows foroptimal growth? Does a bloomrepresent the occasi<strong>on</strong> in whichsexual reproducti<strong>on</strong> occurs? Whereare the species when they are notseen in plankt<strong>on</strong>?
