Los talos de los tres taxa, erguidos y ramificados dicotómicamente, se fijaban al sustrato mediante un disco basal. El tamaño y forma de los utrículos y gametangios, presencia/ausencia de mucrón fueron las características principales que permitieron diferenciar los taxa. Ultraestructuralmente los utrículos mostraron una vacuola central rodeada por una fina capa de citoplasma parietal en la que se encontraban las organelas. La ultraestructura de los pelos y de los filamentos medulares fue similar a la de los utrículos. Los gametangios se formaban a los lados de los utrículos. Se observaron gametangios femeninos en los tres taxa y masculinos en C. fragile. Los masculinos eran más delgados que los femeninos. La liberación de ambos tipos de gametas inmersas en abundante mucílago se produjo a través de la ruptura del extremo apical. Este es el primer estudio ultraestructural del proceso de gametogénesis y de las gametas femeninas y masculinas en el género Codium. Las gametogénesis se iniciaban con la división de núcleos y cloroplastos. La delimitación de las gametas se producía por la actividad de vesículas dictiosómicas que rodeaban porciones de protoplasma uninucleadas. iii Las gametas femeninas eran piriformes; poseían una papila apical de la que emergían los flagelos. Anteriormente se encontraban el núcleo y una mitocondria grande con forma de V invertida. El resto de la gameta estaba ocupado por numerosos cloroplastos. Las gametas masculinas eran ovoides alargadas, de menor tamaño; poseían dos o tres cloroplastos escasamente desarrollados y una papila apical hialina de la que emergían los flagelos. Se comprobó la germinación partenogenética de las gametas femeninas de C. fragile en ausencia de gametas masculinas. También se observó la germinación intragametangial de las gametas femeninas. Se verificó la reproducción sexual en C. fragile en presencia de ambos tipos de gametas por la presencia de cigotos tetraflagelados y su posterior germinación. Para cada uno de los tres taxa se proporcionó información cariológica, con un número haploide de 10, como el obtenido por otros autores para otras especies del género. Se confirmó la partenogénesis para las tres especies. Se determinó que C. vermilara y C. decorticatum presentaban un ciclo de vida haplobionte haplonte y C. fragile un ciclo de vida haplobionte haplonte o diplonte, de acuerdo a la capacidad de formación de gametas masculinas. Se identificaron las distintas especies de epífitos sobre C. vermilara de la localidad de Las Grutas. Los géneros de epífitos más comunes fueron Ceramium, Polysiphonia, Callithamnion y Ectocarpus. De acuerdo al grado de invasión de las estructuras de fijación se diferenciaron cuatro modos de fijación de los epífitos al hospedante. Se estudió con microscopía óptica y electrónica la interfase entre los epífitos y el hospedante para determinar el grado de daño que iv ejercía el epífito al hospedante. Las distintas especies de epífitos que crecían sobre Codium y entre sus utrículos no causaban daño al talo. v ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis was to study populations of C. decorticatum, C. fragile subsp. novae-zelandiae and C. vermilara of the genus Codium growing on the coastal areas of the provinces of Buenos Aires, Río Negro and Chubut, Argentina. Their thalli were found to be erect and dichotomously branched and they were fixed to the substrate by a basal disk. The following characteristics were crucial for the differentiation of these taxa: i) size and shape of utricula and gametangia, and ii) presence and/or absence of mucron. At the ultrastructural level, it could be observed that utricula showed a central vacuole which was surrounded by a thin layer of parietal cytoplasm in which organella were located. The ultrastructure of hairs and medular filaments was similar to that of utricula. Gametangia were formed on the sides of utricula. Female gametangia were observed in the three taxa analyzed whereas male gametangia were found only in C. fragile and they were thinner than the female ones. The release of both types of gametes, which were immersed in abundant mucilage, occurred through a slit. This is the first ultrastructural study conducted to date on gametogenesis and on female and male gametes in the genus Codium. Findings from this thesis indicate that gametogenesis begins with the division of nuclei and chloroplasts and that gametes are individualized as a result of the activity of dyctiosomic vesicles which surround uninucleate portions of protoplasm. It could also be vi observed that female gametes are pyriform and that they have an apical papilla from which flagella emerge. The nucleus and a large inverted V-shaped mitochondrium were found to be located in the anterior region of gamete while the rest of the gamete was occupied by numerous chloroplasts. Male gametes were found to be ovoid and elongated, they were smaller than female gametes and they had two or three chloroplasts poorly developed and a hyaline apical papilla from which flagella emerged. Parthenogenetic germination of female gametes of C. fragile was observed in the absence of male gametes. Intragametangial germination of female gametes was also observed. On the other hand, the presence of tetraflagellate zygotes and their subsequent germination in C. fragile was indicative of sexual reproduction in this species. Karyological information was provided for each of the three taxa with a haploid number of 10. The latter agreed with that obtained by other authors for other species of the genus. Parthenogenesis was confirmed for the three species. Also, it could be concluded that C. vermilara and C. decorticatum have a haplobiont haplont life cycle and that C. fragile, depending on the presence or absence of male gametes, has either a haplobiont diplont or haplont life cycle. Different species of epiphytes on C. vermilara could also be identified in Las Grutas, Argentina, the most common epiphytic genera being Ceramium, Polysiphonia, Callithamnion and Ectocarpus. Taking into account the degree of invasion of fixing structures, four modes of attachment of epiphytes to the host were identified. The epiphyte-host interface was studied via optical and electron microscopy in order to determine the degree of damage exerted

    Marine Algae of French Frigate Shoals, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands: Species List and Biogeographic Comparisons1 Peter S. Vroom,2 Kimberly N. Page,2,3 Kimberly A. Peyton,3 and J. Kanekoa Kukea-Shultz3 Abstract: French Frigate Shoals represents a relatively unpolluted tropical Pa- cific atoll system with algal assemblages minimally impacted by anthropogenic activities. This study qualitatively assessed algal assemblages at 57 sites, thereby increasing the number of algal species known from French Frigate Shoals by over 380% with 132 new records reported, four being species new to the Ha- waiian Archipelago, Bryopsis indica, Gracilaria millardetii, Halimeda distorta, and an unidentified species of Laurencia. Cheney ratios reveal a truly tropical flora, despite the subtropical latitudes spanned by the atoll system. Multidimensional scaling showed that the flora of French Frigate Shoals exhibits strong similar- ities to that of the main Hawaiian Islands and has less commonality with that of most other Pacific island groups.

The order is composed of three suborders – Ostreobineae, Bryopsidineae, and Seaweeds Halimedineae. While previous studies improved the higher-level classification of the order, the taxonomic Chloroplast genome placement of some genera in Bryopsidineae (Pseudobryopsis and Lambia) as well as the relationships between the Phylogeny families of Halimedineae remains uncertain. In this study, we re-assess the phylogeny of the order with datasets Ulvophyceae derived from chloroplast genomes, drastically increasing the taxon sampling by sequencing 32 new chloroplast genomes. The phylogenies presented here provided good support for the major lineages (suborders and most families) in Bryopsidales. In Bryopsidineae, Pseudobryopsis hainanensis was inferred as a distinct lineage from the three established families allowing us to establish the family Pseudobryopsidaceae. The Antarctic species Lambia antarctica was shown to be an early-branching lineage in the family Bryopsidaceae.

    Micronesica 35-36:54-99. 2003 Revised checklist of benthic marine macroalgae and seagrasses of Guam and Micronesia. CHRISTOPHER S. LOBBAN Division of Natural Sciences University of Guam Mangilao, GU 96923 ROY T. TSUDA Marine Laboratory University of Guam, Mangilao, GU 96923 Abstract— We have compiled the new records and nomenclatural changes since Tsuda & Wray’s 1977 checklist and Tsuda’s 1981a addendum. There are now 653 species of benthic marine algae reported from Micronesia: 85 species of Cyanophyta, 324 Rhodophyta, 58 Heterokontophyta (including 54 Phaeophyceae), and 186 Chlorophyta. We document here 40 new records for Guam. The total for Guam is now 237 species: 26 Cyanophyta, 109 Rhodophyta, 31 Heterokontophyta (including 27 Phaeophyceae), and 71 Chlorophyta. We have included 3 Pelagophyceae and 1 Bacillariophyceae (diatom) that form macroscopic colonies, as well as the 10 species of seagrasses (Magnoliophyta) that occur in the region. Introduction There has been a modest amount of phycological activity in Micronesia in the decades since Tsuda & Wray (1977) published a checklist of seaweeds that had been reported from the islands in the region. Some additions to the list were published by Tsuda (1981a). Tsuda (1981b) also printed a checklist for Guam, which included a number of species not included in either of his other checklists. Recent work in Pohnpei by Hodgson & McDermid (2000) and McDermid et al. (2002) added many new records, particularly of subtidal Rhodophyta. We document here 40 new records from Guam, including those from technical reports by Tsuda (1981b, 1992, 1993), 22 of which are new for Micronesia. Additionally, there has been much phycological work, chiefly outside the region, that improves our understanding of the species and their systematic positions.

The first complete list of the marine benthic algal flora of Puerto Rico was compiled by Almodóvar and Ballantine (1983). That list was revised by Ballantine and Aponte (1997a). Numerous nomenclatural changes were incorporated. The present revision includes newly reported species records for Puerto Rico as well as systematic updates reported by Wynne (1998). Four hundred ninety-two species of algae, including macroscopic Chrysophyceae and Xanthophyceae but excluding Cyanophyta, are now listed from Puerto Rico. Among the major divisions of algae, the flora consists of 59% Rhodophyta, 13% Phaeophyta, and 28% Chlorophyta. Puerto Rico is centrally situated in an arc of islands comprising the West Indies. The Greater Antilles, of which Puerto Rico is the eastern-most island, define the northern boundary of the Caribbean Sea; thus, the north coast of Puerto Rico abuts the Atlantic Ocean while the remaining coasts are technically Caribbean.

LÓPEZ-BAUTISTAb & Olivier DE CLERCKa aPhycology Research Group, Biology Department, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium bDepartment of Biological Sciences, The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL, U.S.A. cSchool of Botany, University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Abstract – The poorly known siphonous green algal genus Pseudoderbesia was originally described from the Caribbean coast of Colombia, and the Canary Islands. Here we describe a collection of Pseudoderbesia from Rhodes, Greece, representing the first report of the genus since its original description in 1991. Cultured plants of Pseudoderbesia were characterized by upright, regularly dichotomously branched siphons, developing from long stolonoid siphons. Molecular phylogenetic analysis based on rbcL and tufA sequences confirmed the placement of Pseudoderbesia in the family Bryopsidaceae, and shows a sister relationship with Bryopsis. Although this is the first record of Pseudoderbesia from the Mediterranean Sea, it is possible that the genus is more widespread and has previously been confused with morphologically similar, but unrelated taxa, such as Pseudochlorodesmis furcellata, or that it has been erroneously attributed to juvenile stages of larger bryopsidalean algae. Bryopsidineae / marine green algae / molecular systematics / Pseudoderbesia arbuscula / Ulvophyceae INTRODUCTION The siphonous green algal genus Pseudoderbesia was described by Calderon and Schnetter (1991) based on isolates from the Caribbean coast of Colombia, and the Canary Islands. The Colombian samples were formally described as a new species, P. arbuscula E.Calderon & Schnetter, while the authors remained indecisive on whether or not the morphologically slightly different samples from the Canary Islands represented a separate species.
