Dinozoa
dinoflagellates
Dinozoa is a group of microorganisms composed of dinoflagellates and perkinsids. It was initially coined in 1981 as a synonym of dinoflagellates, but in 2004 the name was repurposed for the evolutionary lineage or clade of dinoflagellates and their closest relatives, the perkinsids.W CalCOFI holds 4,171 observations of it in 1 dataset between 1996 and 2022, across 101 taxa under it.R
