It strikes me that if it can not reproduce (with or without sex) then it is getting the shaft end of the deal. once an alga has been assimilated by a Hatena is is no longer able to reproduce?

Organismal biology seems to have been overshadowed by recreational genomics and transcriptionfactorology over the past ten years. Nice to see something like this for a change. Great article.

If you got this far, your next clue is pfiesteria piscicida. The article in Wikipedia is disputed because the pig farmers have bought their own studies because they are the triggers with their lakes of leaking pigsh*t. Hi, /.rs!
