In this review we assess the state of knowledge for the coralline algae of the Mediterranean
Sea, a group of calcareous seaweeds imperfectly known and considered highly vulnerable …

Crustose coralline algae (CCA) are important ecosystem engineers and carbonate
producers today and in the geological past. While there is an increasing number of …

The Florideophyceae is the most abundant and taxonomically diverse class of red algae
(Rhodophyta). However, many aspects of the systematics and divergence times of the group …

The aim of this book series is to disseminate information to the coastal research community.
The Series covers all aspects of coastal research including but not limited to relevant …

Calcified coralline algae are ecologically important in rocky habitats in the marine photic
zone worldwide and there is growing concern that ocean acidification will severely impact …

The subclass Corallinophycidae is the only group of red algae characterized by the
presence of calcite crystals in their cell walls. Except for the Rhodogorgonales, the …

A new, more complete, five‐marker (SSU, LSU, psbA, COI, 23S) molecular phylogeny of the
family Corallinaceae, order Corallinales, shows a paraphyletic grou** of seven well …

Phylogenetic analyses of rbc L gene sequences and of concatenated rbc L, psb A, and
nuclear SSU rRNA gene sequences resolved the generitype of Lithothamnion, L. muelleri, in …

Phylonyms is an implementation of PhyloCode, which is a set of principles, rules, and
recommendations governing phylogenetic nomenclature. Nearly 300 clades-lineages of …

Molecular studies have revealed cryptic diversity and polyphyly in the genus Lithothamnion.
In this study we aimed to investigate the diversity and phylogeny of specimens that are …
