Ocean acidification (OA) is a major threat to the persistence of biogenic reefs throughout the
world's ocean. Coralline algae are comprised of high magnesium calcite and have long …

The impacts of global climate change are threatening the health and integrity of New
Zealand's seaweed ecosystems that provide crucial ecological, economic, and cultural …

Coralline red algae (CRA) are key players in the construction and maintenance of biogenic
reefs, and they have important functional roles in ecological systems in the Southwestern …

Climate driven range shifts are driving the redistribution of marine species and threatening
the functioning and stability of marine ecosystems. For species that are the structural basis of …

A partial rbcL sequence of the lectotype specimen of Corallina berteroi shows that it is the
earliest available name for C. ferreyrae. Multilocus species delimitation analyses (ABGD …

Successful recruitment of invertebrate larvae to reef substrates is essential to the health of
tropical coral reef ecosystems and to their capacity to recover from disturbances. Crustose …

In the tropics, crustose calcifying red algae (Corallinophycidae and Peyssonneliales; CCRA)
are dominant and important reef builders that serve a suite of ecological functions affecting …

Niche differentiation is a key stabilizing mechanism in the maintenance of biodiversity and
species coexistence. Recent work shows that trophic niche partitioning between parrotfishes …

Coralline algae perform important ecological roles in nearshore marine ecosystems globally
by promoting the settlement of invertebrate larvae and enhancing biodiversity by creating …

Molecular studies have revealed cryptic diversity and polyphyly in the genus Lithothamnion.
In this study we aimed to investigate the diversity and phylogeny of specimens that are …
