Defensive and sensory chemical ecology of brown algae
CD Amsler, VA Fairhead - Advances in botanical research, 2005 - Elsevier
The ecological interactions of brown algae are important as these macroalgae are common
and often keystone members in many benthic marine communities. This review highlights …

Ecophysiology of photosynthesis in macroalgae
Macroalgae occur in the marine benthos from the upper intertidal to depths of more than 200
m, contributing up to 1 Pg C per year to global primary productivity. Freshwater macroalgae …

The nutrient stoichiometry of benthic microalgal growth: Redfield proportions are optimal
H Hillebrand, U Sommer - Limnology and Oceanography, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
Cellular nutrient ratios are often applied as indicators of nutrient limitation in phytoplankton
studies, especially the so‐called Redfield ratio. For periphyton, similar data are scarce. We …

Seaweeds and their communities in polar regions
C Wiencke, CD Amsler - … : novel insights into ecophysiology, ecology and …, 2012 - Springer
Polar seaweeds typically begin to grow in late winter–spring, around the time of sea-ice
breakup. They can grow under very low light enabling distributions to depths of 40 m …

Light and temperature demands of marine benthic microalgae and seaweeds in polar regions
Polar algae have a striking ability to photosynthesize and grow under very low light and
temperatures. In seaweeds, minimum light demands for photosynthetic saturation and …

Comprehensive evaluation of the palatability and chemical defenses of subtidal macroalgae from the Antarctic Peninsula
The palatability of 35 non-encrusting, subtidal macroalgal species collected from the vicinity
of Palmer Station, Antarctica (64 46'S, 64 03'W), was determined in laboratory bioassays …
