Competitive ranks of three Fucus spp. (Phaeophyta) in laboratory experiments—testing of Keddy's competitive hierarchy model
TL;DR: In laboratory replacement series experiments, the competitive ranks of pairs of Fucus species that occupy adjacent zones in the field were analysed and compared to ranks found in previous field experiments, and Keddy's assumption that competitive ranks are consistent over the whole range of fundamental niches cannot be supported for FucUS spp.

Shaping up for stress: Physiological flexibility is key to survivorship in a habitat-forming macroalga.
TL;DR: Morphological variation across local and regional scales will be important for resilience of this species to future climate warming and differences in SA:VOL of vesicles between heights on the shore may reflect water requirements to maintain tissue hydration for photosynthesis during low tide.

Patterns of reproductive traits of fucoid species in core and marginal populations
TL;DR: The decline in mass and reproductive biomass of specimens from southern shores found in this study, when combined with the lower abundance of adults and lower recruitment levels previously observed, is a strong indication of fucoid populations with lower levels of propagule output.

Cystoseira-dominated assemblages from sheltered areas in the Mediterranean sea: diversity, distribution and effects of pollution
TL;DR: Aquesta tesi s'ha centrat en l'estudi de les especies i comunitats dominades per Cystoseira que troben en ambients calmats, es a dir, en petites cales i/or badies as discussed by the authors.

Patterns of Spatial Variability in the Morphology of Sympatric Fucoids
TL;DR: Stipe width may prove to be a valuable predictor of species identification for non-reproductive and young individuals, as it was the only morphological variable to vary consistently between the species.
