Calcified macroalgae–critical to coastal ecosystems and vulnerable to change: a review
WA Nelson - Marine and Freshwater Research, 2009 - CSIRO Publishing
Calcified macroalgae are distributed in marine habitats from polar to tropical latitudes and
from intertidal shores to the deepest reaches of the euphotic zone. These algae play critical …

Invertebrate diversity associated with a shallow rhodolith bed in the Mediterranean Sea (Mar Piccolo of Taranto, south‐east Italy)
Rhodoliths, formed by free‐living coralline algae, are distributed worldwide, and the
rhodolith beds (RBs) that they form are recognized as structurally complex habitats. In the …

Macroalgae
Macroalgae in mesophotic coral ecosystems are generally understudied compared to corals
and fishes yet may be more abundant than coral-dominated reefs given their lower depth …
