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
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

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