Antilonomic Effects of Brazilian Brown Seaweed Extracts [PDF]
Natural Product Communications, 2009 The aim of this work was to investigate the hemolysis and blood clotting activity of Lomonia obliqua venom and the ability of some Brazilian marine algal extracts ( Canistrocarpus cervicornis, Stypopodium zonale and Dictyota pfaffi) to antagonize such biological activities. L. obliqua caterpillars are dangerous to human beings and envenomation symptoms

The evolution of the life cycle of brown seaweeds [PDF]
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1997 The brown seaweeds (Phaeophyta) are well-suited for testing theories of the evolution of the sexual alternation of haploid and diploid generations because of the great diversity of life cycles within the phylum. Three theories are investigated in this paper.
