Deciphering the biosynthetic pathways of lichen acids
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Depsides and depsidones are polyketide‐derived lichen acids widely distributed in lichen thalli, yet the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) responsible for their production remain poorly understood. To address this gap, we investigated the diversity and evolutionary relationships of polyketide BGCs in lichens.

Expert opinions regarding the concept of blue carbon in seaweed systems
Phycological Research, EarlyView.SUMMARY A collection of expert opinions critically evaluates the role of seaweed in blue carbon strategies for climate change mitigation. While the concept of fast‐growing seaweed to capture atmospheric carbon is appealing, the experts largely agree that its potential for direct, long‐term carbon sequestration is currently overstated and faces ...

Description of four new species of marine macroalgae from Rangitāhua, New Zealand
Phycological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Four species of marine macroalgae are described from Rangitāhua, the northern islands of the New Zealand archipelago. The flora of this region has been considered to have its strongest affinities with other warm‐water regions of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, with very low levels of endemism.
