Giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) gametophytes grow endophytically in red macroalgae: Implications for kelp restoration

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) forests have declined by 95% in Australia since the 1970s due to climate change. Despite expanding restoration efforts, long‐term recovery is still lacking. Factors influencing recruitment by the microscopic gametophyte phase may represent a key mechanism underpinning the successful recovery and restoration of

Genomic analyses of giant kelp reveal restricted connectivity across the Southern Hemisphere and striking diversity in Aotearoa (New Zealand)

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The macroalga Macrocystis pyrifera (“giant” or “bladder” kelp) plays a vital role in cold‐temperate marine ecosystems but faces increasing threats from ongoing environmental change. Understanding its population diversity and connectivity is essential for predicting future range shifts and assessing the ecological consequences of such shifts in

Invisible Kelp Forest: From Smell to Sound [PDF]

open access: yes
Invisible Kelp Forest: From Smell to Sound is a speculative fiction and an 8-channel sonic composition that explores the possibility that sound is an ideal medium for translating senses of smell, or chemosensation underwater.

Identifying thermally tolerant bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) source populations for restoration under climate change

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Kelp forests are declining in many parts of the world due to climate change and other stressors. Restoration is one solution to return kelp forests to places where they have been lost, yet continually warming oceans may necessitate the identification of thermally tolerant strains to facilitate the long‐term success of kelp restoration.

Trends in the effects of kelp removal on kelp populations, herbivores, and understory algae

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
Kelp forests provide habitat and resources to diverse organisms and provide valuable ecosystem services. However, marine deforestation due to wild kelp harvesting, among other drivers, is being observed worldwide.

Macroalgae respond to consumer‐mediated nutrient cycling in a temperate ecosystem

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Primary production in coastal upwelling regions has often been presumed to be supported primarily by allochthonous nutrients, but inconsistent nutrient delivery and the metabolic cost of nitrate assimilation can leave producers nitrogen limited during the growing season. As a potential supplement for insufficient allochthonous supply, nutrient

Monitoring of forest ecosystems in Ireland : FOREM 9 project : final report [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Intensive monitoring has been carried out under EC Regulation 3528/86 (project number 8860 IR 001.0) at Ballyhooly, Co. Cork since 1988. In 1991, three new plots (Roundwood, Cloosh and Brackloon) were established (9060IR0030) to give a more ...

Exploring indirect effects of a classic trophic cascade between urchins and kelp on zooplankton and whales

open access: yesScientific Reports
Kelp forest trophic cascades have been extensively researched, yet indirect effects to the zooplankton prey base and gray whales have not been explored. We investigate the correlative patterns of a trophic cascade between bull kelp and purple sea urchins

Cultural and ecological baselines inform an eco‐cultural vision for Weka (Gallirallus australis) restoration in southern New Zealand

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Eco‐cultural restoration requires targets that reflect cultural values and ecological conditions. We present an integrative approach combining cultural and ecological baselines to inform future eco‐cultural restoration of Buff weka (Gallirallus australis hectori), a flightless bird of deep cultural significance to the Ōtākou Māori
