Order Desmarestiales Species: Desmarestia spp. • Draw the entire thallus of Desmarestia. (Use the herbarium pressing) • Look at a prepared slide and draw what you see. Q: What kind of growth does Desmarestia exhibit? E. Order Laminariales Family Laminariaceae Species: Laminaria setchellii The holdfast of this species is composed of stiff, branched haptera. Each holdfast produces a single, long stipe. Sori appear as irregular darkened patches on the blades, but not all blades have sori. 1. Prepare and draw a cross section of the sorus. Look for and label sporangia, cortex and medulla. 2. Examine and draw the overall thallus. Label holdfast, stipe, blade, sori and the location of the meristem. 3. Look at the prepared slide, draw and label what you see. Species: Macrocystis pyrifera To transport sugars throughout the plant body of this large kelp, M. pyrifera has sieve elements in the medulla. • Examine and sketch the thallus of M. pyrifera. Label stipe, blades, sporophylls, holdfast, pneumatocysts and location of intercalary meristem. • Examine and sketch the apical end of M. pyrifera noting the scimitar blade. • Prepare and draw a transverse cross section of the stipe. Ide ntify and label mucilage ducts (in cortex), sieve plates (in medulla), cortex and medulla. Work on this together to get a good cross section. Q: What is the function of a sieve plate? • Prepare and draw a longitudinal cross section of the stipe. Identify and label the sieve elements (trumpet hyphae), medulla, and cortex. • Compare the vegetative blade to the sporophyll blade shown on page 256 in the MAC (Macrocystis integrifolia which is now just the intertidal morph of M. pyrifera). Q: Where is each type of blade located on the thallus? How can you visually tell them apart from each other? Q: How does M. pyrifera deal with herbivory on its sporophylls which are located so close to the substrate? Species: Nereocystis leutkeana • Draw the thallus of N. leutkeana, label stipe, pneuomatocyst, holdfast sporophylls, sori (if present) and meristem Q: Compare and contrast Macrocystis and Nereocystis: What morphological differences are there? Which species is annual? Which is perennial? In what environment are each species found? (hint, check MAC) Q: How do Nereocystis spores get to the substrate to settle? Q: What is the life history of Laminariales? Q: For algae in Laminariales – Is the macro-thallus (the algae we have in the water table) 1N or 2N? How do you know? Family Alariaceae Species: Pterygophora californica Pterygophora californica also has a holdfast of stout, branched haptera. At the base, the stipe is unbranched and cylindrical, becoming flattened in the upper portion, and terminating in a single vegetative blade. The lateral blades are sporophylls. • Examine and draw the external morphology of the thallus. Label the holdfast, terminal blade, stipe, sporophylls, sori (if present) and location of the meristem. Species: Alaria marginata • Sketch thallus, label holdfast, stipe, terminal blade, midrib, sporophylls, sori (if present) and the location of the meristem.

  • Macrocystis Pyrifera: Interpopulation Comparisons and Temporal Variability
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published December 15 Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. Copper toxicity to microscopic stages of giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera: interpopulation comparisons and temporal variability ' Institute of Marine Sciences, University of California, Santa Cruz. California 95064, USA Marine Pollution Studies Laboratory, California Department of Fish and Game, Coast Route 1, Granite Canyon, Monterey, California 93940, USA* ABSTRACT: Experiments were conducted to evaluate temporal and geographic variation in sensitivity of microscopic stages of giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera to copper. Spores from kelp sporophylls collected from different locations and at different times of the year were exposed to series of copper concentrations following a standard toxicity test procedure. After 48 h static exposures, toxicity was determined by measuring 2 test endpoints: germination success and growth of germination tubes. The sensitivity of these endpoints to copper was also compared with the sensitivity of longer-term reproduc- tive endpoints: sporophyte production and sporophyte growth. No significant differences in response to copper were found among spores from different collection sites. Variability between 4 tests conducted quarterly throughout the year was greater than that between 3 tests done consecutively within 1 mo, indicating temporal variability in response to copper. Long-term reproductive endpoints were more sensitive to copper than were short-term vegetative endpoints, with No Observed Effect Concentrations of < 10 pg 1-' for sporophyte production, 10 yg 1-I for sporophyte growth, 10 yg 1-' for germ-tube growth, and 50 yg 1-I for germination inhibition.

  • Fucus Vesiculosus Populations?
    l MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 133: 191-201.1996 Published March 28 1 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Are neighbours harmful or helpful in Fucus vesiculosus populations? Joel C. Creed*,T. A. Norton, Joanna M. Kain (Jones) Port Erin Marine Laboratory, Port Erin. Isle of Man IM9 6JA, United Kingdom ABSTRACT: In order to investigate the effect of density on Fucus vesjculosus L. at all stages of its development, 2 experiments were carried out. A culture study in the laboratory found that increased density resulted in depressed growth and a negatively skewed population structure during the first month in the lives of freshly settled germlings. Intraspecific competition acts even at this early stage, and the limiting factor was probably nutrients. 'Two-sided' ('resource depletion') competition and an early scramble phase of growth may explain negative skewness in plant sizes. On the shore experi- mental thinning by reduction of the canopy resulted in increased macrorecruitment (apparent density) from a bank of microscopic plants which must have been present for some time. With increased thinning more macrorecruits loined the remaining plants, making population size structures highly posit~velyskewed. Thinning had no effect on reproduction In terms of the portion of biomass as repro- ductive tissue. Manipulative weedlng allows an assessment of the potent~alspore bank in seasonally reproductive seaweeds and revealed that there are always replacement plants in reserve to compen- sate for canopy losses. In E vesiculosus the performance of individuals early on is crucial to their sub- sequent survival to reproductive stage, as neighbours are generally competitively harmful. However, a failure to 'win' early on may not necessarily result in the ending of a small plant's life - the 'seed' bank still offers the individual a slim chance of survival and protects the population from harmful stochastic events KEY WORDS: Culture .

    NEGATIVELY CORRELATED ABUNDANCE SUGGESTS COMPETITION BETWEEN RED ABALONE (Haliotis rufescens) AND RED SEA URCHINS (Mesocentrotus franciscanus) INSIDE AND OUTSIDE ESTABLISHED MPAs CLOSED TO COMMERCIAL SEA URCHIN HARVEST IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA By Johnathan Centoni A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Biology Committee Membership Dr. Sean Craig, Committee Chair Dr. Brian Tissot, Committee Member Dr. Paul Bourdeau, Committee Member Dr. Joe Tyburczy, Committee Member Dr. Erik Jules, Program Graduate Coordinator May 2018 ABSTRACT NEGATIVELY CORRELATED ABUNDANCE SUGGESTS COMPETITION BETWEEN RED ABALONE (Haliotis rufescens) AND RED SEA URCHINS (Mesocentrotus franciscanus) INSIDE AND OUTSIDE ESTABLISHED MPAs CLOSED TO COMMERCIAL SEA URCHIN HARVEST IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA Johnathan Centoni Red abalone and sea urchins are both important herbivores that potentially compete with each other for resources like food and space along the California coast. Red abalone supported a socioeconomically important recreational fishery during this study (which was closed in 2018) and red sea urchins support an important commercial fishery. Both red sea urchins and red abalone feed on the same macroalgae (including Pterygophora californica, Laminaria setchellii, Stephanocystis osmundacea, Costaria costata, Alaria marginata, Nereocystis leutkeana), and a low abundance of this food source during the period of this project may have created a highly competitive environment for urchins and abalone. Evidence that suggests competition between red abalone and red sea urchins can be seen within data collected during the years of this study (2014-2016): a significantly higher red sea urchin density, concomitant with a significantly lower red abalone density, was observed within areas closed to commercial sea urchin harvest (in MPAs) compared to nearby reference areas open to sea urchin harvest.
