The genus Durvillaea includes six currently accepted species, as well as two newly proposed species. Durvillaea spp. have a diplontic life cycle, lack a free-living gametophyte …
The coast of mainland Chile extends from 18° S to about 56° S, and is about 4200 km long. In the north, the coast is characterized by continuous, regular, and wave-exposed shores …
Heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous contaminants that frequently co-occur in coastal environments. These contaminants can have negative …
Current knowledge about the performance of floating seaweeds as dispersal vectors comes mostly from mid latitudes (30–40), but phylogeographic studies suggest that long-distance …
Each individual cetacean is an ecosystem itself, potentially harboring a great variety of animals that travel with it. Despite being often despised or overlooked, many of these …
The subtropical front (STF) generally represents a substantial oceanographic barrier to dispersal between cold-sub-Antarctic and warm-temperate water masses. Recent studies …
Aim This study examines how rafting on floating bull kelps can shape the biogeographic patterns of raft‐associated species, and analyses the spatio‐temporal variability of …

Kelp aquaculture is globally developing steadily as human food source, along with other applications. One of the newer crop species is Saccharina latissima, a northern hemisphere …
Floating seaweeds are important dispersal vehicles, especially for organisms with limited movement capacities and for the seaweeds themselves. The persistence of floating …
