In Chesapeake Bay, choreotrichs comprise approximately 52% of total ciliate abundance and exhibit strong seasonal cycles.
This study investigates the ecological role of cyst formation in choreotrich ciliates of the Rhode River, a subestuary located on the western shore of Chesapeake Bay.
Two cyst types were predominant in the river’s sediment in the late spring and summer months, while the other two types prevailed during the fall and winter months.

For the workshop, I think I will bring some expertise on what the important questions are, some knowledge on what the state of the art is at present, and some ideas about what new technologies are needed.
Application of molecular methods to the study of diversity and biogeography of marine choreotrich and oligotrich ciliates.
Oligotrich and choreotrich ciliates (Cl. Spirotrichea), are integral members of planktonic ecosystems and are major consumers in marine food webs.
Class Plagiopylea The ciliates are one of the most important groups of protists, common almost everywhere there is water - lakes, ponds, oceans, and soils, with many ecto- and endosymbiotic members.
These superficially dissimilar groups make up the alveolates.

To assess these hypotheses for the distribution of Choreotrich and Oligotrich cilliates, we are analyzing coastal community samples taken from Coastal Maine waters and Long Island Sound.
These data will serve as a basis for continued study of phylogeographic distribution of Choreotrich and ligotrich cilliates.

Tintinnids are ciliated protozoa, from the subphylum ciliophora, class ciliata, order tintinnida.
The suborder of choreotrich ciliates is characterised by a species specific lorica, which has a structure representative of a bowl, vase or tube, within which the ciliate cell can withdraw (Dolan and Gallegos, 2001).
The order tintinnida encompasses more than 1000 species of marine ciliates, which form an important component of the microzooplankton (Lalli and Parsons, 2001).
