A novel phytomyxean parasite associated with galls on the bull-kelp Durvillaea antarctica (Chamisso) Hariot. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Durvillaea antarctica (Fucales, Phaeophyceae) is a large kelp of high ecological and economic significance in the Southern Hemisphere. In natural beds along the central coast of Chile (Pacific Ocean), abnormal growth characterized by evident gall ...

Scaling and Structural Properties of Juvenile Bull Kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana). [PDF]
Integr Org Biol, 2021 Synopsis Bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana), the only canopy-forming kelp in the Salish Sea, provides primary production in the nearshore subtidal environment and serves as an important habitat for economically and ecologically important species.

A simple and effective protocol for cryopreservation of germplasm of the bull kelp, Nereocystis luetkeana (Phaeophyceae) [PDF]
Journal of PhycologyAbstractKelps are large brown seaweeds that can form three‐dimensional underwater forests that provide food and habitat for a wide diversity of marine organisms. They also provide a wealth of ecosystem services to humans and may be able to help combat climate change through blue carbon. However, kelps are currently in decline in many parts of the world,

Local Extinction of Bull Kelp (Durvillaea spp.) Due to a Marine Heatwave [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 Detailed research has documented gradual changes to biological communities attributed to increases in global average temperatures. However, localized and abrupt temperature anomalies associated with heatwaves may cause more rapid biological changes.

Restoration of bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) in the Strait of Georgia
, 2020 Bull kelp is an annual species that completes its life cycle within a single growing season and reproduces in the same location from year to year. Unfortunately, bull kelp has declined in the Strait of Georgia over the past several decades and is no longer found in locations where previously abundant.

Journal of Phycology, 2023 Abstract Climate change is affecting marine ecosystems in many ways, including raising temperatures and leading to ocean acidification. From 2014 to 2016, an extensive marine heat wave extended along the west coast of North America and had devastating effects on numerous species, including bull kelp (

Impact of Multiple Climate Stressors on Early Life Stages of North Pacific Kelp Species [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThis study examines the effects on bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) and ribbon kelp (Alaria marginata) of combinations of three climate‐related stressors relevant to high‐latitude kelp forests: temperature, salinity, and sediment load. Fertile specimens

Minimising Risks of Reduced Genetic Diversity in Marine Restoration. [PDF]
Evol ApplABSTRACT Marine habitat restoration is expanding globally and increasingly relies on aquaculture and hatchery‐based propagation, yet the genetic consequences of producing and outplanting large numbers of habitat‐forming organisms remain poorly evaluated.

Spatial inference of ancestor locations suggests northern refugia for canopy-forming kelps in the Pacific Northwest. [PDF]
New PhytolPopulation genetic structure in the Pacific Northwest for (a–c) Nereocystis and (d–f) Macrocystis. Summary Pockets of the formerly glaciated Pacific coastline of North America likely remained ice‐free throughout the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). These areas may have served as refugia for terrestrial species, but less is known about their role in the ...
