Seaweed production: overview of the global state of exploitation, farming and emerging research activity
The use of seaweeds has a long history, as does the cultivation of a select and relatively
small group of species. This review presents several aspects of seaweed production, such …

Spatial variability in the resistance and resilience of giant kelp in southern and Baja California to a multiyear heatwave
In 2014–2016 the west coast of North America experienced a marine heatwave that was
unprecedented in the historical record in terms of its duration and intensity. This event was …

Loss of Giant Kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera, Driven by Marine Heatwaves and Exacerbated by Poor Water Clarity in New Zealand
Marine heatwaves (MHW) are becoming stronger and more frequent across the globe.
MHWs affect the thermal physiology of all biological organisms, but wider ecosystem effects …

Environmental context dependency in species interactions
Ecological interactions are not uniform across time and can vary with environmental
conditions. Yet, interactions among species are often measured with short-term controlled …
