We investigated the occurrence of intracolonial genetic variability (IGV) in Pocillopora corals
in the southwestern Indian Ocean. Ninety‐six colonies were threefold‐sampled from three …

Early stages of macroalgae are known to be more vulnerable to changes in the abiotic
environment than their adult phases. However, in algal groups attaining intricate life-cycles …

Chimerism occurs when two genetically distinct conspecific individuals fuse together
generating a single entity. Coalescence and chimerism in red seaweeds has been positively …

Seaweeds are valuable resources for economically important phycocolloids such as agar,
carrageenan, and alginic acid and are also being used in food, feed, fertilizer, cosmetics …

Chimerism is produced by the somatic fusion of two or more genetically distinct conspecific
individuals. In animals, the main cost of fusion is competition between genetically different …

Adaptation for invasiveness should comprise the capability to exploit and prosper in a wide
range of ecological conditions and is therefore expected to be associated with a certain level …

A non-indigenous alga, Grateloupia turuturu (Halymeniales, Rhodophyta), was discovered
