Important Determinants for Fucoidan Bioactivity: A Critical Review of Structure-Function Relations and Extraction Methods for Fucose-Containing Sulfated Polysaccharides from Brown Seaweeds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Seaweeds—or marine macroalgae—notably brown seaweeds in the class Phaeophyceae, contain fucoidan. Fucoidan designates a group of certain fucose-containing sulfated polysaccharides (FCSPs) that have a backbone built of (1→3)-linked α-l-fucopyranosyl or of

Thermal vulnerability of the Levantine endemic and endangered habitat-forming macroalga, Gongolaria rayssiae: implications for reef carbon

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Ocean warming is a major threat to marine ecosystems, especially to species with a narrow thermal niche width and narrow biogeographic distribution, like some habitat-forming seaweeds.

An Acetocarmine Squash Technique for the Fucales [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1957
ACETOCARMINE techniques have only been used to a limited extent in cytological studies of the Phaeophyta, and only in examination of filamentous forms, or filamentous phases in the life-history of the larger forms. Investigations of the Fucales have relied on techniques of embedding and microtoming, followed by staining with Heidenhain's haematoxylin1 ...

Dynamic structural colour increases photosynthetic performance in the alga Ericaria selaginoides

open access: yesApplied Phycology, 2021
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 ...

Coexistence of the reef-building coral Cladocora caespitosa and the canopy-forming alga Treptacantha ballesterosii: Description of a new Mediterranean habitat

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2020
Shallow Mediterranean rocky environments are usually dominated by macroalgae, but the stony colonial zooxan­thellate coral Cladocora caespitosa is able to build extensive banks in some particular areas.

Unravelling the complexity of salt marsh ‘Fucus cottonii’ forms (Phaeophyceae, Fucales) [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean 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.

Ascophyllum nodosum Application and Pre-Sowing Stimulation with Low-Frequency Magnetic Field as Factors Influencing Oat Grains (Avena sativa L.) Composition

open access: yesAgronomy, 2020
In this study, we tested the influence of two experimental factors on the composition of oat grain Avena sativa under the conditions of a three-year field study.

Tracing the biogeographic history of the world's most isolated insular floras

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 952-973, July 2025.
We inferred the spatio–temporal colonization histories of seven vascular plant lineages (Acaena magellanica, Austroblechnum penna‐marina, Azorella selago, Colobanthus kerguelensis, Notogrammitis crassior, Polystichum marionense, Pringlea antiscorbutica) using phylogenetic, divergence time estimation, and Bayesian Island Biogeographic analyses.

Simulated intertidal heat stress on the brown seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum demonstrates differential population sensitivity to future climate

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 6, Page 1504-1520, June 2025.
Our findings underscore the importance of replicating realistic tidal cycles and temperature trajectories to accurately assess thermal stress in intertidal species, as temperature fluctuations between high and low tides drive the stress response. Our projections not only align with observed local extinctions but also indicate future trends, emphasising
