The larval descriptions available were poor in number until the 1960’s and 1970’s, when an increasing trend in the number of publications is observed; this was possibly due to the increased number of scientists specializing in this area, to the increased facilities for cultivating larvae in laboratory conditions, and to the advances in microscope technology ( Rice 1993 ).

While the filamentous cyanobacterial taxa Aphanizomenon and Dolichospermum did not show any apparent changes during the whole study period ( Fig 3 ), the colony-forming Microcystis and filamentous Planktothrix showed an increasing trend in biomass until the start of the biomanipulation, after which the increasing trend shifted and they started to decline gradually ( Fig 3 ).

Logically, the number of marine fungal natural products characterized to date (almost 700 new molecules between 2006 and 2010 [ 12 ]) remains low, albeit following an increasing trend.

Rather, we argue that one would expect a consistently declining trend before collapse in the mean body size, and, potentially, an increasing trend in the variance of body size.

Additionally, the number of patients diagnosed with high risk disease with an elevated risk of metastasis and death is still considerable, and an increasing trend has been described [ 3 , 4 ].
