Geological and Ecological Insights on the Lake Faro Global Geosite Within the Messina Strait Framework (Italy)

Geosciences
The Lake Faro brackish basin (Sicily, Italy) was established as a Global Geosite as a key locality of tectonic coastal lakes, but little research has been devoted to this rare geological and ecological framework.

Progress and future directions for seaweed holobiont research

New Phytologist, Volume 244, Issue 2, Page 364-376, October 2024.
Summary In the marine environment, seaweeds (i.e. marine macroalgae) provide a wide range of ecological services and economic benefits. Like land plants, seaweeds do not provide these services in isolation, rather they rely on their associated microbial communities, which together with the host form the seaweed holobiont.

Conservation and restoration of marine forests in the Mediterranean Sea and the potential role of Marine Protected Areas

Advances in Oceanography and Limnology, 2013
Cystoseira species are some of the most important marine ecosystem-engineers, forming extended canopies comparable to land forests. Such forests are sensitive to human disturbances, like the decrease in water quality, the coastal development and the ...

A revision of the genus Sargassum (Fucales, Phaeophyceae) in South Africa

South African Journal of Botany, 2015
Abstract A total of 27 different Sargassum epithets are listed in the literature for South Africa. The main aim of our study was to revise this species list using newly collected specimens in order to provide a reliable and illustrated tool for the identification of South African Sargassum .

Structure and diversity patterns of coralligenous cliffs across three ecoregions in the Central‐Western Mediterranean Sea

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract Aim Coralligenous reefs are the main marine bioconstructions in terms of spatial distribution within the Mediterranean basin. Two distinct reef morphologies can be distinguished based on the surface and topographical features of the seafloor: cliffs developing vertical slopes and banks found on gently steep or horizontal bottoms. Despite their

Thermal refugia reinforce macroalgal resilience against climate change in the southeastern Bay of Biscay

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 8, August 2024.
Understanding how marine ecosystems respond to global warming is crucial for their protection. We studied subtidal macroalgal communities in the southeastern Bay of Biscay for over 30 years. By estimating the thermal traits of hundreds of species, we analyzed how temperature influenced community dynamics.

The temperate marine Peruvian Province: How history accounts for its unusual biota

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
Among extant temperate marine biotas, the Peruvian Province is highly unusual in, among other traits, a very high incidence of limpets, gastropods with a labral tooth (to assist in predation), a reversed latitudinal diversity gradient, and the absence of several ecological guilds.

Various extracts of the brown seaweed Cystoseira barbata with different compositions exert biostimulant effects on seedling growth of wheat

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 176, Issue 4, July/August 2024.
Abstract Worldwide, where the demand for novel and greener solutions for sustainable agricultural production is increasing, the use of eco‐friendly products such as seaweed‐derived biostimulants as pre‐sowing treatment represent a promising and important approach for the future.

Recent developments and challenges in algal protein and peptide extraction strategies, functional and technological properties, bioaccessibility, and commercial applications

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 23, Issue 3, May 2024.
Abstract The burgeoning demand for protein, exacerbated by population growth and recent disruptions in the food supply chain, has prompted a rapid exploration of sustainable protein alternatives. Among these alternatives, algae stand out for their environmental benefits, rapid growth, and rich protein content.
