Fabulous but Forgotten Fucoid Forests. [PDF]
We describe that fucoid seaweed forests are vital ecosystems around the world, but also document that they are much less known compared to coral reefs, kelp forests, seagrass meadows, saltmarshes, and mangroves. We hope our short easy read viewpoint will make fucoid forest more memorable, more valued, and better conserved and managed.

Diversity and phylogeny of Sargassum (Fucales, Phaeophyceae) in Singapore
Sargassum species play key ecological roles on coral reefs, yet their diversity remains poorly known. Precise identification of Sargassum species, however, is improving with molecular genetic tools, though these have yet to be applied rigorously in Singapore.

Oxygen and pH fluxes in shallow bay habitats: Evaluating the effectiveness of a macroalgal forest restoration. [PDF]
Abstract Marine macroalgae are important primary producers in coastal ecosystems. Within sheltered and shallow bays in the Mediterranean, various Fucalean macroalgae and seagrasses coexist, creating habitats of high ecological importance. These habitats have historically suffered from various disturbances, and on this basis, active restoration actions ...

The effect of irradiance and temperature on the germination of four species of Fucales [PDF]
Percentage germination has been assessed for zygotes of Pelvetia canaliculata, Fucus spiralis, F. vesiculosus and F. serratus, cultured under a variety of irradiance and temperature regimes. High levels of germination (> 80%) were recorded over all irradiance and temperature combinations for all the species of Fucus. Zygotes of P.

Variation of amphipod assemblage along the Sargassum stenophyllum (Phaeophyta, Fucales) thallus [PDF]
The spatial distribution of fauna associated to marine macroalgae has mostly been investigated considering a horizontal plane. However, the macroalgal substrates can present a three-dimensional structure.
