Two new species of Pseudostaurosiropsis are described based on material collected from rivers in southern United
States of America, P. californicus sp. nov. and P. elaboratus sp. nov. Both species have specific characters that set them
apart from taxa curr...
Inspecting herbaria collections of Laurencia rigida highlighted frequent misidentifications between L. rigida and L.
heteroclada f. decussata, two poorly studied taxa from Australia. Recent collections of DNA material, including from topotype
materi...
Water temperature affects plankton survival and growth. The dinoflagellate Shimiella gracilenta survives using the
plastids of ingested prey, indicating kleptoplastidy. However, studies on the effects of water temperature on kleptoplastidic
dinoflagellates are lacking. ...
Intercellular nutrient and signal transduction are essential to sustaining multicellular organisms and maximizing the
benefits of multicellularity. It has long been believed that red algal intercellular transport of macromolecules is prevented
by the protein-rich pit plug with...
Cyanobacteria are distributed worldwide, and many new cyanobacterial species are discovered in tropical region. The
Nostoc-like genus Amazonocrinis has been separated from the genus Nostoc based on polyphasic methods. However,
species diversity within this...
Perennial stipitate kelps are globally distributed and individual species can inhabit broad latitudinal ranges, expressing
notably longevous persistence. Despite the foundational role kelps provide to their communities, little is known
about the variability in persistence of t...
