Journal ArticleDOI
Linnaeus was right all along: Ulva and Enteromorpha are not distinct genera
Hillary S. Hayden,Jaanika Blomster,Christine A. Maggs,Paul C. Silva,Michael J. Stanhope,J. Robert Waaland +5 more
TL;DR: Preliminary results provide strong evidence that Ulva, Enteromorpha and Chloropelta are not distinct evolutionary entities and should not be recognized as separate genera.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating signatures of glacial refugia for north atlantic benthic marine taxa
Christine A. Maggs,Rita Castilho,David W. Foltz,Christy Henzler,Marc Taïmour Jolly,John M. Kelly,Jeanine L. Olsen,Kathryn E. Perez,Wytze T. Stam,Risto Väinölä,Frédérique Viard,John P. Wares +11 more
TL;DR: It is argued that for marine organisms the genetic signatures of northern periglacial and southern refugia can be distinguished from one another, giving credence to recent climatic reconstructions with less extensive glaciation.
Book ChapterDOI
Changing coasts: marine aliens and artificial structures
TL;DR: It is clear that artificial structures can pave the way and act as stepping stones or even corridors for some marine aliens, as do urban areas, roads and riparian environments in terrestrial ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental tolerances of free-living coralline algae (maerl): implications for European marine conservation
TL;DR: Maerl was not as susceptible as previously assumed to extremes of salinity, temperature and heavy metal pollution, but burial, especially in fine or anoxic sediments, was lethal or caused significant stress, and sedimentation resulting from disruption to tidal flow is the main anthropogenic hazard.
