Complete organellar genomes of Cystophora brownii: Insights into mitochondrial and plastid structure and evolution in brown algae

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cystophora (order Fucales) is one of the most diverse genera of habitat‐forming brown algae and is endemic to temperate reefs of Australia and New Zealand. Species in this genus form complex habitat structures that support diverse marine communities and contribute to coastal productivity. However, Cystophora spp.

Holdfast adhesion in the kelp Alaria marginata: Cell wall polysaccharides and phenolics

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Adhesion is a critical process in the survival of seaweeds, especially in wave‐swept environments. Kelp (Laminariales) sporophytes secrete adhesives from specialized rhizoid cells to anchor themselves to the substrate and withstand immense forces applied by waves.

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

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Cadmium bioaccumulation in two resident limpet species, Scutellastra granularis and Siphonaria capensis, along the South African coastline

South African Journal of Science
We investigated cadmium (Cd) bioaccumulation in two limpet species, Scutellastra granularis and Siphonaria capensis, along the South African coastline from three sites: Namaqua National Park, West Coast National Park and Garden Route National Park ...

Integrative taxonomy of Harveylithon (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) reveals three new species from Korea and expanded diversity in the northwestern Pacific

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Non‐geniculate coralline genus Harveylithon includes 12 species worldwide. In this study, we propose three new species, Ha. koreanum sp. nov., Ha. longiforme sp. nov., and Ha. planiforme sp. nov., based on integrative molecular and morphological analyses.

Dive surveys and eDNA detect contrasting macroalgal community composition in Nova Scotia, Canada

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Morphological identification of macroalgae can be time‐consuming and species may be difficult to observe, collect, or identify, preventing detailed study on the distribution and ecology of many species. The use of eDNA in species surveillance and biodiversity assessments has gained considerable traction in studying macroalgae, as it provides ...

Fluctuating asymmetry based on fractal geometry does not track environmental stress in an intertidal habitat‐forming fucoid

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The availability of easy‐to‐measure and inexpensive biomarkers is a challenge for monitoring environmental stress in organisms. Although it has been proposed that non‐directional deviations from a symmetrical pattern in morphological traits (called fluctuating asymmetry.

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

Intraspecific Variation in Reproductive Aspects of Female Soldier Crabs, Mictyris guinotae, Between the River Mouth and Upper Reach Habitats

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The soldier crab, Mictyris guinotae, is a dominant intertidal crustacean associated with sand flats in the vicinity of the Urauchi River estuary on Iriomote Island, Japan. We compared various aspects of its reproductive biology at two sites (the river mouth and upper reach) on exposed bare sand flats 300 m and 3000 m upstream from the mouth ...

First records of Boreolithothamnion astragaloi and Boreolithothamnion soriferum (Hapalidiales, Rhodophyta) from Japan with the characterization of Boreolithothamnion japonicum from Hokkaido based on molecular and morpho‐anatomical analyses

Phycological Research, EarlyView.
SUMMARY Boreolithothamnion is a non‐geniculate coralline red algal genus distributed in cold to warm temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Since the establishment of the genus in 2023, following the redefinition of the genus Lithothamnion, its species diversity and distribution of Boreolithothamnion in Japan needed to be reassessed.
