The GC-rich mitochondrial and plastid genomes of the green alga Coccomyxa give insight into the evolution of organelle DNA nucleotide landscape. [PDF]
Most of the available mitochondrial and plastid genome sequences are biased towards adenine and thymine (AT) over guanine and cytosine (GC). Examples of GC-rich organelle DNAs are limited to a small but eclectic list of species, including certain green ...

Morphological examination and phylogenetic analyses of Phycopeltis spp. (Trentepohliales, Ulvophyceae) from Tropical China. [PDF]
During an investigation of Trentepohliales (Ulvophyceae) from tropical areas in China, four species of the genus Phycopeltis were identified: Phycopeltis aurea, P. epiphyton, P. flabellata and P. prostrata. The morphological characteristics of both young

Multicellularity has independently evolved numerous times throughout the major lineages of life. Often, multicellularity can enable complex, macroscopic organismal architectures but it is not required for the elaboration of morphology.

Review of available DNA sequence data: our understanding of macroalgal diversity in New Zealand
ABSTRACT Understanding our biodiversity is of the utmost importance to determine evolutionary histories of organisms, reliably detect new incursions and select species for commercial operations. Advances in molecular techniques have provided a strong tool to facilitate a deeper understanding of our biodiversity. Macroalgae are a polyphyletic group that

Morphological allometry constrains symmetric shape variation, but not asymmetry, of Halimeda tuna (Bryopsidales, Ulvophyceae) segments. [PDF]
Green algae of the genus Halimeda have modular siphonous thalli composed of multiple repeated segments. Morphological variation among the segments has been related to various environmental factors, which often jointly affect their size and shape.

Green Algal Photobiont Diversity in Lichen Communities Under Forest Fragmentation
Forest fragmentation influences photobiont diversity in lichen symbioses through changes in the fungal partners. By sequencing over 2000 lichen thalli, we found 33 photobiont species, including new taxa and first records for Europe. These results highlight underestimated symbiotic diversity and the role of habitat structure in shaping symbiotic systems.
