Functional Reproductive and Developmental Traits Differences Between Two Macrocystis Ecomorphs: Importance of Neutral Lipids [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The kelp genus Macrocystis presents populations recognizable by distinct morphological traits, which has raised discussions on its taxonomical status.

Experimental assessment of environmental versus genetic influences on Macrocystis morphology

Ecosphere
The two most common ecomorphs of giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera and Macrocystis integrifolia, exhibit almost no geographic overlap across their range in the temperate waters of North and South America, with few exceptions such as Stillwater Cove, CA ...

FTIR Characterization of Sulfated Polysaccharides Obtained from Macrocystis integrifolia Algae and Verification of Their Antiangiogenic and Immunomodulatory Potency In Vitro and In Vivo [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2022
The aim of this study was to evaluate the antiangiogenic and immunomodulatory potential of sulfated polysaccharides from the marine algae Macrocystis integrifolia characterized by FTIR. The cytotoxicity of sulfated polysaccharides was evaluated using the

High-latitude kelps and future oceans: A review of multiple stressor impacts in a changing world. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2023
Kelp forests worldwide are threatened by both climate change and localized anthropogenic impacts. Here, we conducted a structured literature review to provide a synthesis of the impacts of multiple climate‐related stressors on kelp forests in the northeast Pacific, assess existing knowledge gaps, and suggest potential research priorities.

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 ...

A species distribution model of the giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera: Worldwide changes and a focus on the Southeast Pacific. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We modeled the global distribution of giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera, with projection under climate change scenarios. The results are sobering and provide a starting point for future modeling exercises that will be able to draw on a more comprehensive set of physical and ecological drivers that are currently unavailable to the broader community ...

Aldehyde perception induces specific molecular responses in Laminaria digitata and affects algal consumption by a specialist grazer

The Plant Journal, Volume 116, Issue 6, Page 1617-1632, December 2023., 2023
SUMMARY In the marine environment, distance signaling based on water‐borne cues occurs during interactions between macroalgae and herbivores. In the brown alga Laminaria digitata from North‐Atlantic Brittany, oligoalginates elicitation or grazing was shown to induce chemical and transcriptomic regulations, as well as emission of a wide range of ...

Mariculture research of Macrocystis pyrifera and Saccharina latissima in Southeast Alaska

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 1031-1046, October 2021., 2021
Abstract There has been increasing interest in Alaska regarding the commercial mariculture of kelp. Kelp farming can be an economic engine for coastal communities of Alaska. Other benefits include ecosystem services, including carbon sequestration and mitigation of eutrophication. In support of this interest, several kelp species have been examined for
