Turning the tide: a 2°C increase in heat tolerance can halve climate change‐ind...
Hill, Griffin; Gauci, Clément; Assis, Jorge; Jueterbock, AlexanderKelp forests are susceptible to climate change, as their sessile nature and low dispersal capacity hinder tracking of suitable conditions. The emergence of a wide array of approaches to increasing thermal tolerance seeks to change the outlook of biodiversity in a changing climate but lacks clear targets of impactful thermal resilience. Here, we utilize species distribution models (SDMs) to evaluate the potentia...
Roadmap to sustainably develop the European seaweed industry
Jueterbock, Alexander; Hoarau-Heemstra, Hindertje; Wigger, Karin; Duarte, Bernardo; Bruckner, Christian; Chapman, Annelise; Duan, DelinHow to build a sustainable seaweed industry is important in Europe's quest to produce 8 million tons of seaweed by 2030. Based on interviews with industry representatives and an expert-workshop, we developed an interdisciplinary roadmap that addresses sustainable development holistically. We argue that sustainable practices must leverage synergies with existing industries (e.g. IMTA systems, offshore wind farms...
Range-edge populations of seaweeds show niche unfilling and poor adaptation to ...
Hernández, Sandra; García, Ana G.; Arenas, Francisco; Escribano, M. Pilar; Jueterbock, Alexander; De Clerck, Olivier; Maggs, Christine; Franco, Joao N.Aim: Global warming is affecting the distribution of species worldwide, but the level of adaptation of edge populations to warmer temperatures remains an open question. Here, we assess the thermal tolerance of populations of two habitat-forming seaweeds along their latitudinal range, using thermal niche unfilling to assess their resilience to global warming. Location: European Atlantic coastline. Taxon: Ascophy...
Modeling aquaculture suitability in a climate change future
Mackintosh, Amy; Hill, Griffin; Costello, Mark; Jueterbock, Alexander; Assis, JorgeAquaculture has become the primary supplier of fish for human consumption, with production increasing every year since 1990 (FAO, 2020). At the same time, up to 89% of the world’s capture fisheries are fully exploited, overexploited, or collapsed. While some fisheries may have increased yields due to climate change in the short term, global fisheries catch is projected to fall by 10% by 2050 (Barange et al., 20...
The invasive alga Gracilaria vermiculophylla in the native northwest Pacific un...
Liu, Yi-Jia; Zhong, Kai-Le; Jueterbock, Alexander; Satoshi, Shimada; Choi, Han-Gil; Weinberger, Florian; Assis, Jorge; Hu, Zi-MinOcean warming is one of the most important factors in shaping the spatial distribution and genetic biodiversity of marine organisms worldwide. The northwest Pacific has been broadly illustrated as an essential seaweed diversity hotspot. However, few studies have yet investigated in this region on whether and how past and ongoing climate warming impacted the distribution and genetic pools of coastal seaweeds. He...
Detecting no natural hybridization and predicting range overlap inSaccharina an...
Zhang, Jie; Yotsukura, Norishige; Jueterbock, Alexander; Hu, Zi-Min; Assis, Jorge; Nagasato, Chikako; Yao, Jianting; Duan, DelinNatural hybridization can play a significant role in evolutionary processes and influence the adaptive diversification and speciation of brown seaweeds. However, this phenomenon is as yet unknown inSaccharinakelps.Saccharina angustataand two varieties ofSaccharina japonica(S. japonicavar.japonicaandS. japonicavar.diabolica) partly overlap in distribution along the Pacific coast of Hokkaido, which makes them a g...
Intraspecific genetic variation matters when predicting seagrass distribution u...
Hu, Zi‐Min; Zhang, Quan‐Sheng; Zhang, Jie; Kass, Jamie M.; Mammola, Stefano; Fresia, Pablo; Draisma, Stefano G. A.; Assis, Jorge; Jueterbock, AlexanderSeagrasses play a vital role in structuring coastal marine ecosystems, but their distributional range and genetic diversity have declined rapidly in recent decades. To improve conservation of seagrass species, it is important to predict how climate change may impact their ranges. Such predictions are typically made with correlative species distribution models (SDMs), which can estimate a species' potential dist...
A concise review of the brown seaweed Sargassum thunbergii — a knowledge base t...
Liu, Fu-Li; Li, Jing-Jing; Liang, Zhou-Rui; Zhang, Quan-Sheng; Zhao, Feng-Juan; Jueterbock, Alexander; Critchley, Alan T.; Morrell, Stephen L.Sargassum thunbergii is a brown macroalga endemic to the northwest Pacific. It plays important ecological roles in the structure and maintenance of coastal marine ecosystems. The bioactive compounds extracted from S. thunbergii have been extensively documented for potential use in anti-obesity, anti-inflammatory activity, anti-tumor, anti-oxidant and aquacultural drugs. The species is edible and contains relati...
Climate Change Impacts on Seagrass Meadows and Macroalgal Forests: An Integrati...
Duarte, Bernardo; Martins, Irene Isabel da Cruz; Rosa, Rui; Matos, Ana R.; Roleda, Michael Y.; Reusch, Thorsten B. H.; Engelen, Aschwin H.Marine macrophytes are the foundation of algal forests and seagrass meadows–some of the most productive and diverse coastal marine ecosystems on the planet. These ecosystems provide nursery grounds and food for fish and invertebrates, coastline protection from erosion, carbon sequestration, and nutrient fixation. For marine macrophytes, temperature is generally the most important range limiting factor, and ocea...
