Ecological restoration using intertidal foundation species: Considerations and potential for rockweed restoration

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Foundation species, such as trees, corals, grasses, oysters, and rockweeds, must be common and abundant to effectively modify the physical environment and increase biodiversity by buffering environmental stress. Yet many of these important species have been declining due to disease, climate change, and other factors.

On the ecology of Cystophora spp. forests

Journal of Phycology, Volume 58, Issue 6, Page 760-772, December 2022., 2022
Cystophora is the second largest genus of fucoids worldwide and, like many other forest‐forming macroalgae, is increasingly threatened by a range of anthropogenic impacts including ocean warming. Yet, limited ecological information is available from the warm portion of their range (SW Western Australia), where severe range contractions are predicted to

Advancing quantification methods for polyphenols in brown seaweeds—applying a selective qNMR method compared with the TPC assay

Phytochemical Analysis, Volume 33, Issue 7, Page 1099-1110, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Introduction Brown seaweeds are a sustainable biomass with a potential for various industrial applications. Polyphenols are an important contributor to this potential. Objective The aim was total quantification of polyphenols in brown seaweeds from different tidal zones, using a selective 1H quantitative NMR (qNMR) method, comparing the ...

Fingerprinting Arctic and North Atlantic Macroalgae with eDNA – Application and perspectives

Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 385-401, March 2022., 2022
Macroalgae are key primary producers in Arctic and North Atlantic coastal ecosystems and tracing their fate is important to understand their role in higher trophic levels and carbon sequestration. Here, we study the application and perspectives in applying metabarcoding methods for this purpose.

Bioconjugation of Fluorescent Gold Nanoparticles Synthesized Using Marine Brown Algae Sargassum longifolium

Journal of Nanomaterials, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
In the present study, fluorescent gold nanoparticles (Flu Au‐NPs) were synthesized via simple and ecofriendly green route using extract of brown algae Sargassum longifolium (S. longifolium). Characterization of synthesized Au‐NPs was undertaken. The characteristic absorption peak of Au‐NPs was in range 530 nm in UV‐vis spectrum.
