Two fractions were obtained by liquid/liquid purification from a crude hydroethanolic extract: (i) an ethyl acetate fraction and (ii) an aqueous fraction. Total phenolic contents and antioxidant activities of extract and both fractions were assessed by in vitro tests (Folin–Ciocalteu test, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, reducing power assay, superoxide anion scavenging assay, and β-carotene–linoleic acid system).

  • Localised Population Collapse of the Invasive Brown Alga, Undaria Pinnatifida: Twenty Years of Monitoring on Wellington’S South Coast
    Localised population collapse of the invasive brown alga, Undaria pinnatifida: Twenty years of monitoring on Wellington’s south coast By Cody Lorkin A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Marine Biology Victoria University of Wellington 2019 Abstract Invasive species pose a significant threat to marine environments around the world. Monitoring and research of invasive species is needed to provide direction for management programmes. This thesis is a continuation of research conducted on the invasive alga Undaria pinnatifida following its discovery on Wellington’s south coast in 1997. By compiling the results from previous monitoring surveys (1997- 2000 and 2008) and carrying out additional seasonal surveys in 2018, I investigate the distribution and spread of U. pinnatifida on Wellington’s south coast, how this may have changed over time and what impacts it may have had on native macroalgal and invertebrate grazer communities. Intertidal macroalgal composition and U. pinnatifida abundance was recorded on fifteen occasions between 1997 and 2018 at two sites at Island Bay and two sites at Owhiro Bay. In addition, the subtidal abundance of six invertebrate grazers was recorded eight times within the same sampling period. Microtopography was also measured at each site to determine if topography had an influence on macroalgal composition. From 1997 to 2000 U. pinnatifida abundance gradually increased per year, but its spread remained localised to Island Bay. In 2008 U. pinnatifida had spread westward to Owhiro Bay where it was highly abundant. However, in 2018 no U. pinnatifida was recorded at any of the sites indicating a collapse of the invasion front.

In this investigation, we assessed the function of the alga dominating rocky reefs in temperate Australia and New Zealand, Hormosira banksii. Invertebrate and algal species assemblages were examined within areas of full H. banksii canopy, areas where it was naturally patchy or absent (within its potential range on the shore) and areas where the intact canopy was experimentally disturbed. Differences in species assemblages were detected between areas with natural variation in H. banksii cover (full, patchy, negligible), with defined species associated with areas of full cover. Differences were also detected between experimentally manipulated and naturally patchy areas of canopy cover. Species assemblages altered in response to canopy manipulations and did not recover even twelve months after initial sampling. Both light intensity and temperature were buffered by full canopies compared to patchy canopies and exposed rock. This study allows us to predict the consequences to the intertidal community due to the loss of canopy cover, which may result from a range of disturbances such as trampling, storm damage, sand burial and prolonged exposure to extreme temperature, and further allow for improved management of this key autogenic ecosystem engineer.

  • Impacts of Altered Physical and Biotic Conditions in Rocky Intertidal Systems: Implications for the Structure and Functioning of Complex Macroalgal Assemblages
    Impacts of altered physical and biotic conditions in rocky intertidal systems: implications for the structure and functioning of complex macroalgal assemblages A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand Tommaso Alestra 2014 Abstract Complex biogenic habitats created by large canopy-forming macroalgae on intertidal and shallow subtidal rocky reefs worldwide are increasingly affected by degraded environmental conditions at local scales and global climate-driven changes. A better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the impacts of complex suites of anthropogenic stressors on algal forests is essential for the conservation and restoration of these habitats and of their ecological, economic and social values. This thesis tests physical and biological mechanisms underlying the impacts of different forms of natural and human-related disturbance on macroalgal assemblages dominated by fucoid canopies along the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand. A field removal experiment was initially set up to test assemblage responses to mechanical perturbations of increasing severity, simulating the impacts of disturbance agents affecting intertidal habitats such as storms and human trampling. Different combinations of assemblage components (i.e., canopy, mid-canopy and basal layer) were selectively removed, from the thinning of the canopy to the destruction of the entire assemblage. The recovery of the canopy-forming fucoids Hormosira banksii and Cystophora torulosa was affected by the intensity of the disturbance. For both species, even a 50% thinning had impacts lasting at least eighteen months, and recovery trajectories were longer following more intense perturbations. Independently of assemblage diversity and composition at different sites and shore heights, the recovery of the canopy relied entirely on the increase in abundance of these dominant fucoids in response to disturbance, indicating that functional redundancy is limited in this system.

  • A Quantitative Study of the Patterns of Morphological Variation Within Hormosira Banksii (Turner) Decaisne (Fucales: Phaeophyta) in South-Eastern Australia
    Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, L 225 (1998) 285±300 A quantitative study of the patterns of morphological variation within Hormosira banksii (Turner) Decaisne (Fucales: Phaeophyta) in south-eastern Australia Peter J. Ralph* , David A. Morrison, Andrew Addison Department of Environmental Biology and Horticulture, University of Technology Sydney, Westbourne St., Gore Hill, NSW 2065, Australia Received 26 March 1997; received in revised form 8 September 1997; accepted 12 September 1997 Abstract Hormosira banksii shows a considerable degree of morphological variability throughout its range in south-eastern Australia, apparently in relation to the local habitat, and there have been several previous qualitative attempts to categorize this variation by recognizing ecoforms. From our quantitative morphometric analyses of plants from 21 sites covering 300 km of coastline in south-eastern Australia, using multiple discriminant function analysis based on seven vesicle characteristics (measuring size and shape), there is very little evidence of intergrading forms. The morphological variation is not multivariately continuous, as has been previously suggested, although each individual attribute does show more-or-less continuous variation, and the mor- phological variation is not a simple re¯ection of habitat but re¯ects more complex microhabitat relationships. The morphological forms that we recognize are multivariate, and thus all of the attributes need to be considered. In particular, volume (or surface area:volume ratio) is usually a very good discriminator between groups, indicating that both size and shape are important for de®ning the groups. We recognize two main phenotypically distinct groups, comprising plants from sheltered estuarine situations and those from exposed marine rock platforms.

Abstract: Phlorotannins are polyphenolic compounds produced via polymerization of phloroglucinol, and these compounds have varying molecular weights (up to 650 kDa). Brown seaweeds are rich in phlorotannins compounds possessing various biological activities, including algicidal, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and anticancer activities. Many review papers on the chemical characterization and quantification of phlorotannins and their functionality have been published to date. However, although studies on the safety and toxicity of these phlorotannins have been conducted, there have been no articles reviewing this topic. In this review, the safety and toxicity of phlorotannins in different organisms are discussed. Online databases (Science Direct, PubMed, MEDLINE, and Web of Science) were searched, yielding 106 results.
