Rhodoliths and their importance for macroalgal ecology and biodiversity in the ...
Fredericq, Suzanne; Krayesky-Self, Sherry; Sauvage, Thomas; Richards, Joseph; Kittle III, Ronald Paul; Gurgel, Carlos Frederico DeluquiUnderstanding the ecology and biodiversity of deep-water communities is a major challenge. In the NW Gulf of Mexico, unique deep bank habitats associated with salt domes occur at ~50-90m on the continental shelf offshore Louisiana and Texas. In these mesophotic rubble habitats rhodoliths are the main hard substrata for the attachment of macroalgae. Metabarcoding of environmental DNA using molecular markers for ...
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...
A New Crustose Species of Phymatolithon (Hapalidiales, Corallinophycidae) From ...
Kittle III, Ronald Paul; Richards, Joseph; Nguyen, A.; Gabriel, Daniela; Sauvage, Thomas; Schmidt, William E.; Fredericq, SuzannePhymatolithon is one of the most studied and ecologically important crustose coralline algae (CCA) because of their dominance in various marine ecosystems worldwide. The taxonomic history of the genus has been complex, and the genus has been revised multiple times on the basis of morphological and molecular analyses.
New Deepwater Species Of Red Algae Growing In Rhodolith Beds In The NW Gulf Of ...
Fredericq, Suzanne; Arakaki, Natalia; Ehrenhaus, Constanza; Norris, James N.; Richards, Joseph; Gabriel, Daniela; Sauvage, ThomasThis talk will focus on recently collected new species of marine red algae growing on the surface of rhodoliths at 56-85m depth in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico.
