Water motion is a key determinant of marine macroalgal production, influencing directly or
indirectly physiological rates and community structure. Our understanding of how marine …

Seaweed population biology has received far less attention than trophic dynamics, yet is
critically important in establishing and maintaining algal communities. Complex life histories …

Australia's marine life is highly diverse and endemic. Here we describe projections of
climate change in Australian waters and examine from the literature likely impacts of these …

Successful fertilization in marine organisms that release sperm into seawater is potentially
limited by the rapid dilution of gametes; cases of severe sperm limitation have been …

Habitat forming 'ecosystem engineers' such as kelp species create complex habitats that
support biodiverse and productive communities. Studies of the resilience and stability of …

This thesis deals with physical factors and biological interactions affecting the distribution of
two fucoid species, Fucus vesiculosus and F. serratus, in the Baltic Sea. Studies have been …

Stress regimes defined as the synchronous or sequential action of abiotic and biotic stresses
determine the performance and distribution of species. The natural patterns of stress to …

Seaweeds provide important ecosystem services in coastal areas, and loss of these
macrophytes due to anthropogenic global change and warming is a worldwide concern …

Patterns of natural gamete release and fertilization success are reported for the open-coast
macrophyte Fucus distichus L.(formerly Fucus distichus ssp. distichus), which is restricted to …

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 …
