  • 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 .

  • Biology and Systematics of Heterokont and Haptophyte Algae1
    American Journal of Botany 91(10): 1508±1522. 2004. BIOLOGY AND SYSTEMATICS OF HETEROKONT AND HAPTOPHYTE ALGAE1 ROBERT A. ANDERSEN Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, P.O. Box 475, West Boothbay Harbor, Maine 04575 USA In this paper, I review what is currently known of phylogenetic relationships of heterokont and haptophyte algae. Heterokont algae are a monophyletic group that is classi®ed into 17 classes and represents a diverse group of marine, freshwater, and terrestrial algae. Classes are distinguished by morphology, chloroplast pigments, ultrastructural features, and gene sequence data. Electron microscopy and molecular biology have contributed signi®cantly to our understanding of their evolutionary relationships, but even today class relationships are poorly understood. Haptophyte algae are a second monophyletic group that consists of two classes of predominately marine phytoplankton. The closest relatives of the haptophytes are currently unknown, but recent evidence indicates they may be part of a large assemblage (chromalveolates) that includes heterokont algae and other stramenopiles, alveolates, and cryptophytes. Heter- okont and haptophyte algae are important primary producers in aquatic habitats, and they are probably the primary carbon source for petroleum products (crude oil, natural gas). Key words: chromalveolate; chromist; chromophyte; ¯agella; phylogeny; stramenopile; tree of life. Heterokont algae are a monophyletic group that includes all (Phaeophyceae) by Linnaeus (1753), and shortly thereafter, photosynthetic organisms with tripartite tubular hairs on the microscopic chrysophytes (currently 5 Oikomonas, Anthophy- mature ¯agellum (discussed later; also see Wetherbee et al., sa) were described by MuÈller (1773, 1786). The history of 1988, for de®nitions of mature and immature ¯agella), as well heterokont algae was recently discussed in detail (Andersen, as some nonphotosynthetic relatives and some that have sec- 2004), and four distinct periods were identi®ed.

  • Terpenes and Sterols Composition of Marine Brown Algae Padina Pavonica (Dictyotales) and Hormophysa Triquetra (Fucales)
    Available online on www.ijppr.com International Journal of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemical Research 2014-15; 6(4); 894-900 ISSN: 0975-4873 Research Article Terpenes and Sterols Composition of Marine Brown Algae Padina pavonica (Dictyotales) and Hormophysa triquetra (Fucales) *Gihan A. El Shoubaky, Essam A. Salem Botany Department, Faculty of Science, Suez Canal University, Ismailia, Egypt Available Online: 22nd November, 2014 ABSTRACT In this study the terpenes and sterols composition were identified and estimated qualitatively and quantitatively from the brown algae Padina pavonica (Dictyotales) and Hormophysa triquetra (Fucales) by using GC/MS (Gas Chromatography- Mass Spectrum). Significant differences were found in the terpenes and sterols composition of the selected algae. The analysis revealed the presence of 19 terpenes in Padina pavonica and 20 terpenes in Hormophysa triquetra, in addition to 5 sterols recoded in both of them.The total concentration of terpenes in Hormophysa triquetra recorded the highest percentage than Padina pavonica. In contrast, Padina pavonica registered high content of sterols than those in Hormophysa triquetra. The main terpene component was the hemiterpene 3-Furoic acid recording in Hormophysa triquetra more than in Padina pavonica. The diterpene phytol compound occupied the second rank according to their concentration percentage in both of the studied species. Hormophysa triquetra characterized by alkylbenzene derivatives more than Padina pavonica.Fucosterolwas the major sterol component in both of the selected algae recording a convergent concentration in Padina pavonica and Hormophysa triquetra. β- Sitosterol was detected only in Padina pavonica whereas β–Sitostanol and Stigmasterol were characterized in Hormophysa triquetra. Campesterol was found in the two studied species.

  • Centers of Endemism of Freshwater Protists Deviate from Pattern of Taxon Richness on a Continental Scale Jana L
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Centers of endemism of freshwater protists deviate from pattern of taxon richness on a continental scale Jana L. Olefeld1, Christina Bock1, Manfred Jensen1, Janina C. Vogt2, Guido Sieber1, Dirk Albach2 & Jens Boenigk1* Here, we analyzed patterns of taxon richness and endemism of freshwater protists in Europe. Even though the signifcance of physicochemical parameters but also of geographic constraints for protist distribution is documented, it remains unclear where regional areas of high protist diversity are located and whether areas of high taxon richness harbor a high proportion of endemics. Further, patterns may be universal for protists or deviate between taxonomic groups. Based on amplicon sequencing campaigns targeting the SSU and ITS region of the rDNA we address these patterns at two diferent levels of phylogenetic resolution. Our analyses demonstrate that protists have restricted geographical distribution areas. For many taxonomic groups the regions of high taxon richness deviate from those having a high proportion of putative endemics. In particular, the diversity of high mountain lakes as azonal habitats deviated from surrounding lowlands, i.e. many taxa were found exclusively in high mountain lakes and several putatively endemic taxa occurred in mountain regions like the Alps, the Pyrenees or the Massif Central. Beyond that, taxonomic groups showed a pronounced accumulation of putative endemics in distinct regions, e.g. Dinophyceae along the Baltic Sea coastline, and Chrysophyceae in Scandinavia. Many other groups did not have pronounced areas of increased endemism but geographically restricted taxa were found across Europe. Restricted distribution and endemism has been demonstrated for numerous protist taxa by now 1–4.

The complexity of the Scytosiphonaceae is also highlighted in the discovery of several new species possessing morphological characters that were intermediate to at least two genera, consequently blurring generic boundaries. As such, it has been widely accepted that traditional characters used to define genera in the family (e.g., thallus morphology, thallus construction, and shape and nature of plurangial sori) were unreliable. In this study, I attempted to resolve some of the glaring problems in the taxonomy and molecular phylogeny of several genera in the Scytosiphonaceae by integrating information on their morphologies, molecular phylogenies, and life histories. I focused my studies on the relatively under-examined representatives from tropical to subtropical regions of the Indo-Pacific as most studies have been conducted on the subtropical to temperate members of the family.
