Red macroalgae in the genomic era
Rhodophyta (or red algae) are a diverse and species‐rich group that forms one of three
major lineages in the Archaeplastida, a eukaryotic supergroup whose plastids arose from a …

Founder effects shape linkage disequilibrium and genomic diversity of a partially clonal invader
The genomic variation of an invasive species may be affected by complex demographic
histories and evolutionary changes during the invasion. Here, we describe the relative …

Phenology and thallus size in a non‐native population of Gracilaria vermiculophylla
Phenology, or seasonal variation in life cycle events, is poorly described for many
macroalgal species. We describe the phenology of a non‐native population of Gracilaria …

The reproductive system of the cryptogenic alga Chondria tumulosa (Florideophyceae) at Manawai, Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument
Determining the relative importance of sexual and asexual reproduction is critical for
determining how genetic diversity is partitioned within and among populations. Macroalgae …

Tetrasporophytic bias coupled with heterozygote deficiency in Antarctic Plocamium sp. (Florideophyceae, Rhodophyta)
Meiosis and syngamy generate an alternation between two ploidy stages, but the timing of
these two processes varies widely across taxa, thereby generating life cycle diversity. One …

Differential Frond Growth in the Isomorphic Haploid–diploid Red Seaweed Agarophyton chilense by Long‐term In Situ Monitoring
Conditional differentiation between haploids and diploids has been proposed to drive the
evolutionary stability of isomorphic biphasic life cycles. The cost of producing and …

Using RAD‐seq to develop sex‐linked markers in a haplodiplontic alga
For many taxa, including isomorphic haplodiplontic macroalgae, determining sex and ploidy
is challenging, thereby limiting the scope of some population demographic and genetic …

Genome‐scale signatures of adaptive gene expression changes in an invasive seaweed Gracilaria vermiculophylla
Invasive species can successfully and rapidly colonize new niches and expand ranges via
founder effects and enhanced tolerance towards environmental stresses. However, the …

Stable demographic ratios of haploid gametophyte to diploid sporophyte abundance in macroalgal populations
K Bessho - Plos one, 2024 - journals.plos.org
Macroalgal populations often consist of free-living haploid (gametophyte) and diploid
(sporophyte) stages. Various ecological studies have been conducted to examine the …

Structural and evolutionary features of red algal UV sex chromosomes
Background: Sex chromosomes in red algae have remained relatively understudied, despite
their fundamental role in understanding the evolution of sex determination across …
