Positive association between epiphytes and competitiveness of the brown algal genus Lobophora against corals [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Observations of coral–algal competition can provide valuable information about the state of coral reef ecosystems. Here, we report contact rates and apparent competition states for six shallow lagoonal reefs in Fiji.

High‐dimensional elementomes outperform CNP models in explaining photosynthetic traits
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Links between plant elementomes (i.e. the concentration of chemical elements in plant tissue) and functional traits have the potential to improve predictions of plant physiological performance and ecosystem processes, and their response to environmental change.

HGTScanner: Detecting horizontal gene transfer at the fine scale using whole organelle genomes
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has profoundly shaped eukaryotic organellar genomes like plant mitochondria. Yet no generalized tools are currently available to efficiently characterize HGT across these genomes due to both high structural complexity and low sequence divergence compared to prokaryotic HGTs.

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.Abstract The genus Paulinella represents a rare, independent case of primary endosymbiosis, providing a unique system to study the early stages of organelle evolution. Here, we expand current understanding of primary plastid endosymbiosis through the discovery and characterization of two novel photosynthetic amoebae, Paulinella marae sp. nov.

Environmental factors shape the epiphytic bacterial communities of Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis
Scientific Reports, 2021 Macroalgae host various symbionts on their surface, which play a critical role in their growth and development processes. However, there is still incomplete understanding of this epiphytic bacteria-host algae interactions.

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.Abstract Green macroalgae from the Ulva genus are rich in polysaccharides of interest, including ulvan, starch, and cellulose. However, their content and structure are impacted by environmental factors, which poses challenges for industrial applications, especially in the context of climate change.
