Journal ArticleDOI
Settlement rates of macroalgal algal propagules: Cross-species comparisons in a turbulent environment
TL;DR: A settlement model, based on principles invoked in the analysis of motion of bed sediments in rivers, was developed and suggests that the stickiness of the propagules, due to their mucus coatings, plays a significant role in the settlement process.

Ascophyllum and its symbionts. VI. Microscopic Characterization of the Ascophyllum nodosum (Phaeophyceae), Mycophycias ascophylli (Ascomycetes) Symbiotum
Ron J. Deckert,David J. Garbary +1 more
TL;DR: The morphological basis for the mutualistic symbiosis supported by recent experimental work is provided and it is concluded that this association is best described by the term “ymbiotum.”
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenotypic variation in Fucus spiralis (Phaeophyceae): morphology, chemical phenotype and their relationship to the environment
TL;DR: It is suggested that the formae exist within a mosaic of stable phenotypes representing populations specifically adapted to the local environment, showing that gross morphology can be correlated with chemical composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Suppression subtractive hybridization for studying gene expression during aerial exposure and desiccation in fucoid algae
TL;DR: Results show that SSH is a useful technique for analysing the responses of gene expression to environmental stress, and as a starting point for the subsequent identification of stress-responsive genes in macroalgae.

Do littorinids affect the survival of Ascophyllum nodosum germlings
Gunnar Cervin,Per Åberg +1 more
TL;DR: The experiments showed that Littorina spp had no effect on the survival of germlings of A. nodosum unless in cages at abundances higher than those naturally occurring in the area at this time, and suggest that other mesoherbivores such as isopods and amphipods are important grazers on A. nodsum.
