A number of heterocytous, mat‐forming, tapering cyanobacteria in Rivulariaceae have
recently been observed in both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts in the rocky intertidal and …

Until recently, the study of cyanobacteria and microalgae has been hampered by the need to
cultivate these organisms to gain insight into their cytomorphology, life cycle and molecular …

Ulva L. species are problematic to identify since they have cryptic morphologies with few
distinctive features, as well as significant intraspecific variation. In this study, we report two …

Various species of marine micro-filamentous green algae (< 5 mm) remain overlooked
globally. They are difficult to identify in field collections due to their diminutive size and their …

The identification of macroalgal species within the Laurencia complex is challenging, due to
the presence of inconspicuous morphological characters, extensive variation in these traits …

We report two new algal records from the Maltese islands: Hincksia mitchelliae (=
Feldmannia mitchelliae)(Phaeophyceae) and Palisada tenerrima (Rhodophyceae). The …

Cyanobacterial biodiversity and potential toxicity in coastal lagoons have barely been
studied despite these transitional water systems being very important in conservation and for …
