Journal ArticleDOI
A multi-locus time-calibrated phylogeny of the siphonous green algae
Heroen Verbruggen,Matt P. Ashworth,Steven T. LoDuca,Caroline Vlaeminck,Ellen Cocquyt,Thomas Sauvage,Frederick W. Zechman,Diane S. Littler,Mark M. Littler,Frederik Leliaert,Olivier De Clerck +10 more
TL;DR: The phylogenetic relationships among the siphonous green algae are inferred based on a five-locus data matrix and temporal aspects of their diversification are analyzed using relaxed molecular clock methods calibrated with the fossil record.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Hawaiian Rhodophyta Biodiversity Survey (2006-2010): a summary of principal findings
Alison R. Sherwood,Akira Kurihara,Akira Kurihara,Kimberly Y. Conklin,Thomas Sauvage,Gernot G. Presting +5 more
TL;DR: Molecular data for the survey provide the most extensive assessment of Hawaiian red algal diversity and, in combination with the morphological/anatomical and distributional data collected as part of the project, provide a solid baseline data set for future studies of the flora.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecology of the Invasive Red Alga Gracilaria salicornia (Rhodophyta) on O'ahu, Hawai'i
Jennifer E. Smith,Cynthia L. Hunter,Eric Conklin,Rebecca Most,Thomas Sauvage,Cheryl Squair,Celia M. Smith +6 more
TL;DR: It is clear that a large-scale dedicated effort will be needed to control this invasive species on Waikiki's reefs, which has spread from the initial sites of introduction and is now competing with native marine flora and fauna.
Journal ArticleDOI
A metabarcoding framework for facilitated survey of endolithic phototrophs with tufA.
TL;DR: The development of a metabarcoding framework for the elongation factor EF-Ttu (tufA) was tested on four Illumina-sequenced marine CaCO3 microfloras for the characterization of their endolithic phototrophs, especially the abundant bioeroding Ostreobium spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seaweeds and Decapod Crustaceans on Gulf Deep Banks after the Macondo Oil Spill
Darryl L. Felder,Brent P. Thoma,William E. Schmidt,Thomas Sauvage,Sherry L. Self-Krayesky,Andrei Y. Chistoserdov,Heather D. Bracken-Grissom,Suzanne Fredericq +7 more
TL;DR: The diversity of seaweeds and decapod crustaceans associated with rhodoliths on deep offshore banks in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico decreased dramatically after the Macondo blowout.
