Microbe-assisted seedling crop improvement by a seaweed extract to address fucalean forest restoration

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
In the Mediterranean, Cystoseira sensu lato (s.l.) (Phaeophyceae) forests have sharply declined and restoration measures are needed to compensate for the loss.

Massive decline of Cystoseira abies-marina forests in Gran Canaria Island (Canary Islands, eastern Atlantic)

Scientia Marina, 2017
Brown macroalgae within the genus Cystoseira are some of the most relevant “ecosystem-engineers” found throughout the Mediterranean and the adjacent Atlantic coasts.

Population dynamics of Ericaria zosteroides (Ochrophyta, Fucales) in the central Mediterranean

Mediterranean Botany, 2023
Ericaria zosteroides is a canopy-forming macroalga belonging to the order Fucales, which dominates Mediterranean deep-water stands. In the present research, populations of E.

Temporal stability and spatial patterns of genetic diversity in populations of the climate-vulnerable fucoid Scytothalia dorycarpa. [PDF]

J Phycol
Abstract Climate change is driving the loss of genetic diversity, potentially limiting species' capacity to adapt to environmental change. Detecting changes in genetic diversity requires replicated temporal data, which is lacking for most species. Here, we combined contemporary and historical specimens of the climate‐vulnerable fucoid Scytothalia ...

The Remarkable Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Potential of the Extracts of the Brown Alga Cystoseira amentacea var. stricta

Marine Drugs, 2020
Inflammation and oxidative stress are part of the complex biological responses of body tissues to harmful stimuli. In recent years, due to the increased understanding that oxidative stress is implicated in several diseases, pharmaceutical industries have

SIEVE ELEMENTS IN THE FUCALES [PDF]

New Phytologist, 1983
SUMMARYMedullary filaments from the thalli of most of the British species of brown seaweeds belonging to the Fucales have been examined with both scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM). The end walls of each cell in the filament are in the form of a sieve plate.

When chemistry meets taxonomy: Studying glycolipidic chemomarkers in pelagic Sargassum spp. (Phaeophyceae) using molecular networking. [PDF]

J Phycol
Abstract To chemically differentiate the three pelagic Sargassum morphotypes co‐occurring in floating rafts and drifting across the Atlantic Ocean before stranding on West African, Caribbean, and Atlantic Mexican coastlines, we conducted an investigation of their metabolomic profiles.

Population Genomics and Lagrangian Modeling Shed Light on Dispersal Events in the Mediterranean Endemic Ericaria zosteroides (=Cystoseira zosteroides) (Fucales)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Dispersal is a central process that affects population growth, gene flow, and ultimately species persistence. Here we investigate the extent to which gene flow occurs between fragmented populations of the deep-water brown algae Ericaria zosteroides ...

Communities and Attachment Networks Associated with Primary, Secondary and Alternative Foundation Species; A Case Study of Stressed and Disturbed Stands of Southern Bull Kelp

Diversity, 2019
Southern bull kelps (Durvillaea spp., Fucales) are ‘primary’ foundation species that control community structures and ecosystem functions on temperate wave-exposed rocky reefs.

Response of Early Life-Stages of Forest-Forming Seaweeds From Warm-Edge and Central Populations to Marine Heatwaves. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) pose a threat to global marine forests, with the effects of warming potentially being even greater on early life stages, which are often understudied. We evaluated the responses of Phyllospora comosa—one of the most crucial forest‐forming seaweeds in South‐eastern Australia—early life stages from warm‐edge and central ...
