2004 University of Connecticut Storrs, CT
Welcome Note and Information from the Co-Conveners We hope you will enjoy the NEAS 2004 meeting at the scenic Avery Point Campus of the University of Connecticut in Groton, CT. The last time that we assembled at The University of Connecticut was during the formative years of NEAS (12th Northeast Algal Symposium in 1973). Both NEAS and The University have come along way. These meetings will offer oral and poster presentations by students and faculty on a wide variety of phycological topics, as well as student poster and paper awards. We extend a warm welcome to all of our student members. The Executive Committee of NEAS has extended dormitory lodging at Project Oceanology gratis to all student members of the Society. We believe this shows NEAS members’ pride in and our commitment to our student members. This year we will be honoring Professor Arthur C. Mathieson as the Honorary Chair of the 43rd Northeast Algal Symposium. Art arrived with his wife, Myla, at the University of New Hampshire in 1965 from California. Art is a Professor of Botany and a Faculty in Residence at the Jackson Estuarine Laboratory of the University of New Hampshire. He received his Bachelor of Science and Master’s Degrees at the University of California, Los Angeles. In 1965 he received his doctoral degree from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. Over a 43-year career Art has supervised many undergraduate and graduate students studying the ecology, systematics and mariculture of benthic marine algae. He has been an aquanaut-scientist for the Tektite II and also for the FLARE submersible programs. -

China Abstract: A new freshwater species of Ulvella, U. tongshanensis H. ZHU et G. LIU, is described from material collected from rocks under small waterfalls in Hubei Province, China. This unusual species differs from other species in the genus by the macroscopic and upright parenchymatous thalli, and by the particular habitat (most Ulvella species occur in marine environments). Phylogenetic analyses of plastid encoded rbcL and tufA, and nuclear 18S rDNA sequences, pointed towards the generic placement of U. tongshanensis and also showed a close relationship with two other freshwater species, Ulvella bullata (Jao) H. ZHU et G. LIU, comb. nov. and Ulvella prasina (Jao) H. ZHU et G. LIU, comb. nov. The latter two were previously placed in the genus Jaoa and are characterized by disc–shaped to vesicular morphology. Our study once again shows that traditionally used morphological characters are poor indicators for phylogenetic relatedness in morphologically simple algae like the Ulvellaceae. -

DNA Barcoding of a New Record of Epi-Endophytic Green Algae Ulvella Leptochaete (Ulvellaceae, Chlorophyta) in India
DNA barcoding of a new record of epi-endophytic green algae Ulvella leptochaete (Ulvellaceae, Chlorophyta) in India FELIX BAST* , SATEJ BHUSHAN and AIJAZ AHMAD JOHN Centre for Biosciences, Central University of Punjab, Bathinda 151 001, India *Corresponding author (Fax, +91 164 2430586; Email, [email protected]) Epi-endophytic green algae comprise one of the most diverse and phylogenetically primitive groups of green algae and are considered to be ubiquitous in the world’s oceans; however, no reports of these algae exist from India. Here we report the serendipitous discovery of Ulvella growing on intertidal green algae Cladophora glomerata and benthic red algae Laurencia obtusa collected from India. DNA barcodes at nuclear ribosomal DNA Internal Transcriber Spacer (nrDNA ITS) 1 and 2 regions for Indian isolates from the west and east coasts have been generated for the first time. Based on morphology and DNA barcoding, isolates were identified as Ulvella leptochaete. Phylogenetic reconstruction of concatenated dataset using Maximum Likelihood method differentiated Indian isolates from other accessions of this alga available in Genbank, albeit with low bootstrap support. Monophyly of Ulvella leptochaete was obvious in both of our phylogenetic analyses. With this first report of epi-endophytic algae from Indian territorial waters, the dire need to catalogue its cryptic diversity is highlighted and avenues of future research are discussed.

The Marine Macroalgae of Cabo Verde Archipelago: an Updated Checklist
Arquipelago - Life and Marine Sciences ISSN: 0873-4704 The marine macroalgae of Cabo Verde archipelago: an updated checklist DANIELA GABRIEL AND SUZANNE FREDERICQ Gabriel, D. and S. Fredericq 2019. The marine macroalgae of Cabo Verde archipelago: an updated checklist. Arquipelago. Life and Marine Sciences 36: 39 - 60. An updated list of the names of the marine macroalgae of Cabo Verde, an archipelago of ten volcanic islands in the central Atlantic Ocean, is presented based on existing reports, and includes the addition of 36 species. The checklist comprises a total of 372 species names, of which 68 are brown algae (Ochrophyta), 238 are red algae (Rhodophyta) and 66 green algae (Chlorophyta). New distribution records reveal the existence of 10 putative endemic species for Cabo Verde islands, nine species that are geographically restricted to the Macaronesia, five species that are restricted to Cabo Verde islands and the nearby Tropical Western African coast, and five species known to occur only in the Maraconesian Islands and Tropical West Africa. Two species, previously considered invalid names, are here validly published as Colaconema naumannii comb. nov. and Sebdenia canariensis sp. nov. Key words: Cabo Verde islands, Macaronesia, Marine flora, Seaweeds, Tropical West Africa. Daniela Gabriel1 (e-mail: [email protected]) and S.

In this invited editorial contributed to the Journal of Phylogenetics and Evolutionary Biology a big picture of this ever evolving field is expounded. Application of phylogenetic inference in biosystematics, phylogeography, phylogenetic selection of target taxa in medicinal chemistry, cancer phylogenetics, and linguistic phylogeny are reviewed with a personal perspective summarizing contribution to this interdisciplinary field from my group. Parametric methods such as Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference have dramatically improved for last one decade, yet empirical solutions to some of the most fundamental issues, including homoplasmy and lineage sorting, remains to be materialized. Keywords: Cancer phylogenetics; Coalescence; Gene tree; Historical of computers, the field of computational phylogenetics started gaining linguistics; Medicinal chemistry; Phylogeny; Phylogeography; Tree of momentum and arrived at the center-stage of applied phylogenetics. -

Mantri 1,2,*, Monica Gajanan Kavale 1,2 and Mudassar Anisoddin Kazi 1 1 Applied Phycology and Biotechnology Division, CSIR-Central Salt & Marine Chemicals Research Institute, Gijubhai Badheka Marg, Bhavnagar 364002, India; [email protected] (M.G.K.); [email protected] (M.A.K.) 2 Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), Ghaziabad 201002, India * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +91-278-256-7760; Fax: +91-278-256-6970 Received: 13 November 2019; Accepted: 9 December 2019; Published: 25 December 2019 Abstract: Seaweeds are a renewable marine resources and have not yet received considerable attention in the field of taxonomy in India as compared to their terrestrial counterparts, essentially due to the lack of awareness of their economic potential. Although the recent inventory from the Indian region documented the presence of approximately 865 seaweed taxa, of which only a few are taxonomically well characterized, more precise information still awaits with respect to microscopic and molecular examinations of many. Thus far, in terms of spatial extent, probably only a few of the total hospitable seaweed habitats have been explored, and large portions, including island territories and subtidal waters, remain virtually untouched. Surveying those may lead to the reporting of several taxa new to science. Furthermore, more focused efforts are required to understand the endemic and endangered taxa which have high conservation implications. Considering the unprecedented pressures seaweeds are facing, including coastal pollution and human-induced global warming, it is critical to reinforce our knowledge of seaweed biodiversity.
