The brown algae (Phaeophyceae) are a group of multicellular heterokonts that are
ubiquitous in today's oceans. Large brown algae from multiple orders are the foundation to …

In the current review, compositional data on fucoidans extracted from more than hundred
different species were surveyed through the available literature. The analysis of crude …

Aim Marine forests of brown macroalgae create essential habitats for coastal species and
support invaluable ecological services. Here, we provide the first global analysis of species …

Kelp, seaweeds of the order Laminariales, are of ecological and conservation importance
because they form undersea forest habitat for many varieties of fauna and flora including …

Physical principles and laws determine the set of possible organismal phenotypes.
Constraints arising from development, the environment, and evolutionary history then yield …

Climate change is transforming marine ecosystems through the expansion and contraction
of species' ranges. Sea ice loss and warming temperatures are expected to expand habitat …

Kelp forests are declining in many regions globally with climatic perturbations causing shifts
to alternate communities and significant ecological and economic loss. Range edge …

Kelp forests provide habitat for many species, but it remains uncertain whether specific kelp
forest types support distinct biodiversity. Surface canopy-forming giant kelp (Macrocystis …

The Arctic is experiencing a rapid shift toward warmer regimes, calling for a need to
understand levels of biodiversity and ecosystem responses to climate cycles. This study …

Marine seaweeds synthesize a plethora of bioactive metabolites, of which phlorotannins of
brown algae currently attract special attention due to their high antibiotic and cytotoxic …
