Improved phylogeny of brown algae Cystoseira (Fucales) from the Atlantic- Mediterranean region based on mitochondrial sequences [PDF]
Cystoseira is a common brown algal genus widely distributed throughout the Atlantic and Mediterranean regions whose taxonomical assignment of specimens is often hampered by intra- and interspecific morphological variability.

Feulgen Reaction in the Fucales [PDF]
THE Feulgen reaction has not been used to any great extent in cytological investigations of the larger brown algae1–4, possibly on account of the difficulty of obtaining consistent results. The following technique has now been applied successfully to growing vegetative apices and to developing receptacles of all the British members of the Fucales, with

Loss of canopy-forming algal richness and coverage in the northern Adriatic Sea
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 community of Cystoseira brachycarpa J. Agardh emend. Giaccone (Fucales, Phaeophyceae) in a shallow hydrothermal vent area of the Aeolian Islands (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy) [PDF]
A Cystoseira brachycarpa community from a vent area off Panarea Island (Italy) was investigated in two sites at different pH values. At low pH, species richness and coverage were low and the community displayed a reduced reproductive capacity ...

Dynamic structural colour increases photosynthetic performance in the alga Ericaria selaginoides
Structural colour occurs when nanoscale structures interfere with incident light transmission and reflect particular wavelengths. The brown alga Ericaria selaginoides (Fucales, Phaeophyceae) has an opalescent photonic crystal anatomy that creates the ...
