Coralline algae (Rhodophyta) in a changing world: integrating ecological, physiological, and geochemical responses to global change
Coralline algae are globally distributed benthic primary producers that secrete calcium
carbonate skeletons. In the context of ocean acidification, they have received much recent …

Bottom trawling threatens future climate refugia of rhodoliths globally
Climate driven range shifts are driving the redistribution of marine species and threatening
the functioning and stability of marine ecosystems. For species that are the structural basis of …

Radiation of the coralline red algae (Corallinophycidae, Rhodophyta) crown group as inferred from a multilocus time-calibrated phylogeny
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 …

Coralline algae in a changing Mediterranean Sea: how can we predict their future, if we do not know their present?
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 …

Mediterranean Lithophyllum stictiforme (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) is a genetically diverse species complex: implications for species circumscription, biogeography …
Lithophyllum species in the Mediterranean Sea function as algal bioconstructors,
contributing to the formation of biogenic habitats such as coralligenous concretions. In such …

A multilocus species delimitation reveals a striking number of species of coralline algae forming maerl in the OSPAR maritime area
Maerl beds are sensitive biogenic habitats built by an accumulation of loose-lying, non-
geniculate coralline algae. While these habitats are considered hot-spots of marine …

Community assessment of crustose calcifying red algae as coral recruitment substrates
Successful recruitment of invertebrate larvae to reef substrates is essential to the health of
tropical coral reef ecosystems and to their capacity to recover from disturbances. Crustose …
