Post-ice age recolonization and differentiation of Fucus serratus L. (Phaeophyceae; Fucaceae) populations in Northern Europe.

TL;DR: The seaweed Fucus serratus is hypothesized to have evolved in the North Atlantic and present populations are thought to reflect recolonization from a southern refugium since the last glacial maximum, whereas the Spanish populations most likely reflect present‐day edge populations that have undergone repeated bottlenecks as a consequence of thermally induced cycles of recolonized and extinction.

Facilitation and the niche: implications for coexistence, range shifts and ecosystem functioning

TL;DR: If facilitated species’ niches expand and become less distinct as a result of habitat amelioration, the forces that maintain diversity and promote coexistence in regions or habitats dominated by the facilitator could be reduced and the sign of the effects of facilitation on populations could be species-specific.
Journal ArticleDOI

Climate change impact on seaweed meadow distribution in the North Atlantic rocky intertidal

TL;DR: Model predictions suggest that three foundational, macroalgal species that occur along North-Atlantic shores will shift northwards as an assemblage or “unit” and that phytogeographic changes will be most pronounced in the southern Arctic and the southern temperate provinces.
Journal ArticleDOI

Marine diversity shift linked to interactions among grazers, nutrients and propagule banks

TL;DR: A large-scale field survey and factorial field experiments indicated that grazers maintain the fucoid community through selective consumption of annual algae, implying a novel role of propagule banks for community regulation and ecosystem response to marine eutrophication.
