Spatial Variability in the Resistance and Resilience of Giant Kelp in Southern and Baja California to a Multiyear Heatwave

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
In 2014–2016 the west coast of North America experienced a marine heatwave that was unprecedented in the historical record in terms of its duration and intensity.

Organellar genomes of giant kelp from the southern hemisphere

Applied Phycology, 2023
Macrocystis pyrifera is a foundation species that creates kelp forests and supports essential ecosystem services across coastal environments. Over the past half-century, more than 95% of giant kelp forests have declined around Tasmania, Australia, due to

Incorporating Population Genomic Perspectives Into Kelp Conservation and Aquaculture in the Pacific Northwest. [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Recent kelp forest declines and growth in the kelp aquaculture industry have fueled increasing interest in ecological and evolutionary research on kelp forests, including kelp population genomics. Although many kelp management activities have inherent genetic and evolutionary implications, kelp management in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of ...

Lines of dehiscence as a biomechanical strategy for controlling damage during blade development in the bull kelp Nereocystis luetkeana. [PDF]

J Phycol
Abstract Although tearing is most often considered mechanical damage, it plays a central role in blade development in the bull kelp Nereocystis luetkeana. Although developmental tearing has been described in other macrophytes, the presence of a line of dehiscence that directs fracture apart from reproduction or abscission remains rare and poorly ...

Diet of a threatened endemic fox reveals variation in sandy beach resource use on California Channel Islands

PLoS ONE, 2021
The coastal zone provides foraging opportunities for insular populations of terrestrial mammals, allowing for expanded habitat use, increased dietary breadth, and locally higher population densities.

Variation in Thermal Tolerance of the Giant Kelp’s Gametophytes: Suitability of Habitat, Population Quality or Local Adaptation?

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera is a cosmopolitan species of cold-temperate coasts. Its South-American distribution ranges from Peru to Cape Horn and Argentina, encompassing a considerable temperature gradient, from 3 to 20°C. Temperature is known to

Physical and Biological Consequences of Giant Kelp (Macrocystis Pyrifera) Removals Within a Central California Kelp Forest [PDF]

, 2019
The giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) is a well-studied foundation species that builds complex biogenic habitat and contributes fixed carbon to the base of food webs.

Extreme warming challenges sentinel status of kelp forests as indicators of climate change

Nature Communications, 2016
Giant kelp is sometimes considered the ‘canary in the coal mine’ of coastal ecosystems. However, Reedet al. demonstrate that kelp did not decline during recent ocean warming in California, questioning whether this species is an appropriate indicator for ...

“Pixels May Lose Kelp Canopy”: The Photomosaic as Epistemic Figure for the Satellite Mapping and Modeling of Seaweeds

Media + Environment, 2021
This article shows how the photo-mosaic characterizes epistemic practices in contemporary oceanography, particularly through the satellite survey and ecological modeling of marine macroalgae (seaweeds).
