This review will primarily focus on patterns of chemical defense from the microscale perspective (cellular, subcellular, molecular, and temporal), exploring spatial and temporal patterns of response, as well as the innate molecular information and biochemical mechanisms involved in secondary metabolism that exist across different algal divisions (for additional reviews of various patterns of algal chemical defense, see Hay and Steinberg 1992 Van Alstyne et al. 2001a Potin et al. 2002 Pohnert 2004 Amsler and Fairhead 2006 Ianora et al. 2006).
