A common terminology to unify research and conservation of coralline algae and ...
Jardim, Victor L.; Grall, Jacques; Barros‐Barreto, M. Beatriz; Bizien, Anaëlle; Benoit, Thomas; Braga, Juan C.; Brodie, Juliet; Burel, ThomasLinguistic uncertainty is a prime source of uncertainty pervading ecology and conservation. Coralline algae are a widespread and diverse group of calcifying red macroalgae that underpin coastal ecosystem function and service provision. Recent increasing interest in coralline algae in the scientific literature has revealed a diverse but confusing terminology at organism to habitat scales. Coralline algal researc...
Progress and future directions for seaweed holobiont research
Saha, Mahasweta; Dittami, Simon M.; Chan, Cheong Xin; Raina, Jean‐Baptiste; Stock, Willem; Ghaderiardakani, Fatemeh; John, Ann Mary Valathuparambil BabyIn the marine environment, seaweeds (i.e. marine macroalgae) provide a wide range of ecological services and economic benefits. Like land plants, seaweeds do not provide these services in isolation, rather they rely on their associated microbial communities, which together with the host form the seaweed holobiont. However, there is a poor understanding of the mechanisms shaping these complex seaweed–microbe int...
Non-indigenous seaweeds in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea ...
van der Loos, Luna M.; Bafort, Quinten; Bosch, Samuel; Ballesteros, Enric; Bárbara, Ignacio; Berecibar, Estibaliz; Blanfuné, Aurélie; Bogaert, KennyEffective monitoring of non-indigenous seaweeds and combatting their effects relies on a solid confirmation of the non-indigenous status of the respective species. We critically analysed the status of presumed non-indigenous seaweed species reported from the Mediterranean Sea, the Northeast Atlantic Ocean and Macaronesia, resulting in a list of 140 species whose non-indigenous nature is undisputed. For an addit...
The microbiome of the habitat‐forming brown alga Fucus vesiculosus (Phaeophycea...
Capistrant‐Fossa, Kyle A.; Morrison, Hilary G.; Engelen, Aschwin; Quigley, Charlotte T.C.; Morozov, Aleksey; Serrao, Ester; Brodie, JulietLatitudinal diversity gradients have provided many insights into species differentiation and community processes. In the well-studied intertidal zone, however, little is known about latitudinal diversity in microbiomes associated with habitat-forming hosts. We investigated microbiomes of Fucus vesiculosus because of deep understanding of this model system and its latitudinally large, cross-Atlantic range. Given...
The future of the northeast Atlantic benthic flora in a high CO2 world
Brodie, Juliet; Williamson, Christopher J.; Smale, Dan A.; Kamenos, Nicholas A.; Mieszkowska, Nova; Santos, Rui; Cunliffe, Michael; Steinke, MichaelSeaweed and seagrass communities in the northeast Atlantic have been profoundly impacted by humans, and the rate of change is accelerating rapidly due to runaway CO2 emissions and mounting pressures on coastlines associated with human population growth and increased consumption of finite resources. Here, we predict how rapid warming and acidification are likely to affect benthic flora and coastal ecosystems of ...
