TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the most up-to-date information about the physical environment of the Kongsfjord system and identified important gaps in knowledge, focusing on steep physical gradients along the main fjord axis, as well as seasonal environmental changes.

TL;DR: Kongsfjorden is a glacial fjord in the Arctic (Svalbard) that is influenced by both Atlantic and Arctic water masses and harbours a mixture of boreal and Arctic flora and fauna as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: This review about the genus Laminaria sensu lato summarizes the extensive literature that has been published since the overview of the genus given by Kain in 1979, and covers recent insights into phylogeny and taxonomy, and discusses morphotypes, ecotypes, population genetics and demography.

TL;DR: The data support the idea that MAAs represent a least for red macroalgae a natural defense system against exposure to biologically harmful UV-radiation.

TL;DR: It is indicated that zoospores suffer photoinhibition of photosynthesis, loss of viability and DNA damage in relation to the growth depth of parental sporophytes and photodamage of the photosynthetic apparatus.
