What can the Gulf of Mexico and Panama tell us about education and outreach?
Fredericq, Suzanne; Wysor, B.; Freshwater, D.W.; Krayesky-Self, S.; Collin, R.; Sauvage, Thomas; Richards, Joseph; Gabriel, Daniela; Arakaki, NataliaABSTRACT: A series of research grants funded by the National Science Foundation involved a major component about education and outreach as it pertained to marine algal diversity. These included comprehensive studies into 1) the diversity of the deep bank marine algae in the Gulf of Mexico (NSF Biodiversity Surveys and Inventories program) and the discovery of unsuspected eukaryotic life inhabiting rhodolith for...
Got Talent: Peyssonnelia globally showcases its skills
Gabriel, Daniela; Krayesky, David; Norris, James N.; Schmidt, William E.; Schils, Tom; Fredericq, SuzanneABSTRACT: The crust forming genus Peyssonnelia Decaisne is a taxon of great ecological importance, with some species involved in the establishment of rhodoliths. Comparative morphological and molecular analyses demonstrate a greater diversity of peyssonnelioid species than was previously reported. In chloroplast-encoded rbcL-based trees, species referred to as Peyssonnelia in the literature do not group togethe...
Characterization of rhodolith beds in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico before an...
Fredericq, Suzanne; Schmidt, William E.; Gabriel, Daniela; Sauvage, Thomas; Krayesky, DavidABSTRACT: In the northwestern Gulf of Mexico beds of rhodoliths and unconsolidated rubble are associated with unique offshore deep bank habitats, the salt domes or diapirs that are peculiar to that part of the northern Gulf. In contrast to being mainly composed of crustose corallines (or foraminifera), rhodoliths in the NW Gulf of Mexico at depths of 40-85 m are instead dominated by red algal crust-forming memb...
New insights in the systematics of Peyssonnelia and the Peyssonneliaceae (Rhodo...
Krayesky, David; Norris, James N.; Gabrielson, Paul W.; Gabriel, Daniela; Fredericq, SuzanneABSTRACT: "Peyssonnelia Decaisne comprises a worldwide group of non-calcified or calcified, crust-forming red algae of great ecological significance, with some species involved in the establishment of rhodoliths. Of the eight genera currently recognized in the family, Peyssonnelia, is widely viewed to contain the largest number of species. The number of distinct species of Peyssonneliaceae present in the Gulf o...
