Marine algal flora of Flores and Corvo Islands, Azores

BACKGROUND The algal flora of the western group of the Azores archipelago (Islands of Flores and Corvo) has attracted the interest of many researchers on numerous past occasions (such as Drouet 1866, Trelease 1897, Gain 1914, Schmidt 1929, Schmidt 1931, Azevedo et al. 1990, Fralick and Hehre 1990, Neto and Azevedo 1990, Neto and Baldwin 1990, Neto 1996, Neto 1997, Neto 1999, Tittley and Neto 1996, Tittley and N...

Marine algal flora of São Miguel Island, Azores

BACKGROUND The macroalgal flora of the Island of São Miguel (eastern group of the Azores Archipelago) has attracted the interest of many researchers in the past, the first publications going back to the nineteenth century. Initial studies were mainly taxonomic, resulting in the publication of a checklist of the Azorean benthic marine algae. Later, the establishment of the University of the Azores on the Island ...

Additions to the Marine Algal (Seaweed) Flora of the Azores.

Ten species of benthic marine algae, new distribution records for the Azores achipelago, are itemised; two other species records (Heterosiphonia crispella and Laminaria ochroleuca) are confirmed for the islands. Six species (Bryopsis pennata, Cottoniella filamentosa, Dasya baillouviana, Feldmannia paradoxa, Heterosiphonia crispella and Lomentaria clavellosa) show an amphi-Atlantic distribution pattern; four (Bo...

Structure and zonation of algal communities in the bay of São Vicente (São Migu...

An appraisal of the benthic marine algal communities of the bay of São Vicente (São Miguel island. Azores) was undertaken in July 1996 and July 1997 as part of the project "Biodiversity of the archipelago of the Azores". A permanent transect was laid down across the subtidal zone. Quadrates were sampled at pre-determined intervals along the transect from the low water level, down to 30m depth. Qualitative colle...

Marine algae of the island of Flores, Azores : ecology and floristics

Preliminary results of an extensive field survey of the marine algal flora of Flores are presented. Intertidal and subtidal algal zonation and community structure were investigated by sampling quadrats along transect lines. Intertidal areas were characterised by successive zones of barnacles, algal turf (Gelidium spp., Centroceras clavulatum, Laurencia spp. and other algae), and Corallina sp., Pterocladia capil...
