Protocol to control the invasive alga Avrainvillea lacerata in a shallow Hawaiian reef flat [PDF]
Applications in Plant Sciences, 2022 Premise A novel control technique was developed to mitigate an invasive siphonous green alga, Avrainvillea lacerata (Dichotomosiphonaceae), within a shallow degraded reef flat in Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi.

Loss of state transitions in Bryopsidales macroalgae and kleptoplastic sea slugs (Gastropoda, Sacoglossa) [PDF]
Communications BiologyGreen macroalgae within the order Bryopsidales lack the fundamental photoprotective mechanisms of green algae, the xanthophyll cycle and energy-dependent dissipation of excess light.

The inflated mitochondrial genomes of siphonous green algae reflect processes driving expansion of noncoding DNA and proliferation of introns [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Within the siphonous green algal order Bryopsidales, the size and gene arrangement of chloroplast genomes has been examined extensively, while mitochondrial genomes have been mostly overlooked.

A comparative test of the gamete dynamics theory for the evolution of anisogamy in Bryopsidales green algae [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Gamete dynamics theory proposes that anisogamy arises by disruptive selection for gamete numbers versus gamete size and predicts that female/male gamete size (anisogamy ratio) increases with adult size and complexity.

Photoprotective Role of Neoxanthin in Plants and Algae [PDF]
Molecules, 2020 Light is a paramount parameter driving photosynthesis. However, excessive irradiance leads to the formation of reactive oxygen species that cause cell damage and hamper the growth of photosynthetic organisms. Xanthophylls are key pigments involved in the

Bacterial Microbiota of Ostreobium, the Coral-Isolated Chlorophyte Ectosymbiont, at Contrasted Salinities [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 Microscopic filaments of the siphonous green algae Ostreobium (Ulvophyceae, Bryopsidales) colonize and dissolve the calcium carbonate skeletons of coral colonies in reefs of contrasted salinities. Here, we analyzed their bacterial community’s composition
