Production and fate of macroalgal carbon in the ocean: How much do macroalgal organics matter?
Abstract Global carbon sequestration by macroalgae is hypothesized to rival rates in other blue carbon ecosystems. However, quantifying macroalgal carbon sequestration is challenging as it is hypothesized to occur outside macroalgal ecosystems, with 73% of sequestration occurring when dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is exported to deep ocean waters.

Slow-Binding Inhibition of Tyrosinase by Ecklonia cava Phlorotannins [PDF]
Tyrosinase inhibitors improve skin whitening by inhibiting the formation of melanin precursors in the skin. The inhibitory activity of seven phlorotannins (1–7), triphlorethol A (1), eckol (2), 2-phloroeckol (3), phlorofucofuroeckol A (4), 2-O-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)-6,6′-bieckol (5), 6,8′-bieckol (6), and 8,8′-bieckol (7), from Ecklonia cava was ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract A long‐standing theory in biogeography is that stronger biotic interactions at lower latitudes select for better‐defended phenotypes. However, greater environmental variability at temperate latitudes may also shape defensive strategies by increasing temporal or local ...
