Post‐hatching development of the remote‐tactile bill‐tip organ in precocial shorebirds (Scolopacidae)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Juvenile scolopacid shorebirds possess well‐developed osteological correlates of tactile bill‐tip organs, indicating sensory systems for remote‐touch foraging are present from early life. Ontogenetic changes in bill‐tip morphology suggest ecological specialisation and interspecific variation develop later, after fledging in these highly precocial ...

A re-evaluation of the tidal sorting hypothesis of mangrove zonation: propagule specific gravity matters

Frontiers in Marine Science
There is much controversy surrounding factors that affect the distribution of mangrove plants across the intertidal gradient. It was previously hypothesized that mangrove zonation was attributed to tidal sorting (TSH) of its propagules according to size (

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.

Longline and mesocosm cultivation of serrated wrack Fucus serratus (Phaeophyceae)

Applied Phycology
Seaweed aquaculture is becoming increasingly important as the global seaweed market is set to exceed £20 billion by 2030, leaving natural populations at risk of overexploitation. Fucoids, such as Fucus serratus, are intertidal seaweeds hand-harvested for

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.
