Spatial inference of ancestor locations suggests northern refugia for canopy‐forming kelps in the Pacific Northwest

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2248-2265, August 2026.
Population genetic structure in the Pacific Northwest for (a–c) Nereocystis and (d–f) Macrocystis. Summary Pockets of the formerly glaciated Pacific coastline of North America likely remained ice‐free throughout the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). These areas may have served as refugia for terrestrial species, but less is known about their role in the ...

Marine heatwave intensity and duration negatively affect growth in young sporophytes of the giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera

Frontiers in Marine Science
Kelp forests are productive and biodiverse ecosystems with high ecological, cultural, and economic importance. However, the high sensitivity of kelp to water temperature means that these ecosystems are vulnerable to marine heatwaves (MHWs), especially at

Ecological implications and lessons from high pathogenicity avian influenza H5N1 2.3.4.4b in Antarctica

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
HPAI H5N1 was confirmed in 22 South Polar Skuas and one Kelp Gull on Dismal and Horseshoe Islands, Marguerite Bay, Western Antarctic Peninsula in early 2025, with high mortalities consistent with global trends. Rapid antigen tests showed 90% agreement with rRT‐PCR, supporting their utility for early detection in remote environments.

Floating Kelp Rafts as Indicators of Aggregation Zones within the San Juan Archipelago

, 2023
Bull kelp forests line Salish Sea coastlines, providing important ecosystem services to shallow subtidal habitats. Each winter, bull kelp forests are dislodged by winter storms, setting “kelp rafts” adrift on currents.

Automated Filtering of Multibeam Water-Column Data to Detect Relative Abundance of Giant Kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera)

Remote Sensing, 2020
Modern multibeam echosounders can record backscatter data returned from the water above the seafloor. These water-column data can potentially be used to detect and map aquatic vegetation such as kelp, and thus contribute to improving marine habitat ...

Short wave attenuation by a kelp forest canopy

Limnology and Oceanography Letters
Giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) forests are common along the California coast. Attached on the rocky bottom at depths of approximately 5–25 m, the kelp, when mature, spans the water column and develops dense, buoyant canopies that interact with waves ...

Benthic megafauna and the functioning of macroalgal forests and urchin barrens

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Two temperate rocky reef food‐web models, representing the trophic diversity of the Mediterranean rocky reef communities, were built for the two stable states: macroalgal forests and barren grounds, which are characterized by opposite amounts of erect macroalgal biomass.

Supplementary Material from Giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera, increases faunal diversity through physical engineering

, 2018
Foundation species define the ecosystems they live in, but ecologists have often characterized dominant plants as foundational without supporting evidence.
