CLSU Biology Prof Discovers New Marine Phytoplankton Species from Central Luzon Waters

Dr. Garry A. Benico, a faculty researcher from the CLSU Department of Biological Sciences under the College of Science, along with research assistant Mr. Steven Joseph Tandoc and Chinese and Japanese collaborating scientists, has described a novel marine dinoflagellate species, Pentapharsodinium oceliferum, from Subic Bay, Zambales, Central Luzon. The species name "ocelliferum" (Latin for "eye-bearing") reflects its most distinctive feature, a unique eyespot structure that has never been documented in any previously described species within this genus. This marks Dr. Benico's second novel species discovery from Central Luzon waters, following his previous description of Scrippsiella luzonensis from Obando, Bulacan. The newly described species is the fourth marine dinoflagellate species described by Dr. Benico and his team, further enriching our understanding of the Philippines' remarkable marine biodiversity. This latest discovery underscores Central Luzon's significance as a marine biodiversity hotspot and highlights the ongoing contributions of CLSU scientists to global marine taxonomy and species discovery.
