Marginal populations are often isolated and under extreme selection pressures resulting in
anomalous genetics. Consequently, ecosystems that are geographically and ecologically …

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 …

Coastal areas are exposed to a variety of threats due to high population densities and rapid
economic development. How will this affect human welfare and our dependence on nature's …

Fucus vesiculosus is an edible brown macroalga, with health benefits associated with its
consumption and also a source of bioactive molecules. It is acknowledged that the …

Reproduction of attached large brown algae is known to occur only by sexual zygotes. Using
microsatellites we show evolution of asexual reproduction in the bladder wrack promoting …

Thirty‐four benthic diatom strains were isolated from thalassic hypersaline marine
environments and their salinity tolerance characterized in growth experiments conducted at …

The North Atlantic intertidal community provides a rich set of organismal and environmental
material for the study of ecological genetics. Clearly defined environmental gradients exist at …

Although increases in sedimentation have been proposed to interfere with benthic
communities in many coastal areas worldwide, few experimental studies have investigated …

The Baltic Sea region includes the Bothnian Sea and Bothnian Bay, together with the Gulf of
Finland and Gulf of Riga (Fig 1). The region has attracted much attention from marine …

Estuarine macroalgae are important primary producers in aquatic ecosystems, and often
foundation species providing structurally complex habitat. Climate change alters many …
