Macroalgal assemblages as indicators of the ecological status of marine coastal systems: A review
Ecological Indicators, 2021 Macroalgae have been utilized as biological indicators of ecosystem health in many monitoring programs worldwide. These programs have utilized various methods to quantify macroalgal community structures.

Loss of canopy-forming algal richness and coverage in the northern Adriatic Sea
Ecological Indicators, 2021 Canopy-forming macroalgae, especially those belonging to the order Fucales, are creating the so-called brown algal forests that are considered amongst the most productive assemblages in the shallow coastal area.

THE SYSTEMATIC POSITION OF THE FUCALES [PDF]
New Phytologist, 1939 T HE Fucales are probably the most widely distributed and the most abundant of all the brown algae. They have certainly reached the highest level of morphological and anatomical differentiation, yet their systematic position remains one of apparent isolation, and it has recently been claimed that they have been derived independently of all the other ...

Unravelling the complexity of salt marsh ‘Fucus cottonii’ forms (Phaeophyceae, Fucales) [PDF]
European Journal of Phycology, 2017 Genetic affiliation, nuclear DNA content, and gamete functioning were examined in small salt marsh Fucus from three localities in western Ireland. Individuals with small and dioecious receptacles were found at all localities, but production of germlings was only evident at Locality 1.

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.Abstract The canopy‐forming feather boa kelp Egregia menziesii exhibits remarkable morphological variability across its geographic range. Regional morphotypes of Egregia were once considered separate species, but they were not determined to be genetically distinct; instead, their morphology was thought to reflect local physical or environmental ...

Phycological Research, EarlyView.SUMMARY Assessing the potential for macroalgae to function as a carbon sink (blue carbon) and nitrogen (N) assimilation is under intensive investigation. The content of elemental carbon (C) and N in macroalgae is the best indicator of their potential; however, with respect to the thallus, C and N content varies in space and time.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.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 ...
