However, canopy-forming algae are experiencing a general global decline, mostly driven by human pressures on coastal ecosystems and global changes. In contrast with their high ecological relevance, little is known about how their genetic diversity, dispersal and connectivity can be affected by global changes, despite the expected consequences for population resilience. I focused on studying brown macroalgae of the genus Cystoseira, one of the leading canopy-forming seaweed genera along European coasts, coupling molecular and ecological approaches to understand several processes that affect these marine forests.

Sixteen species of brown algae (Phaeophyceae) were reported from the shore of Chaojing, Keelung, Taiwan. Among them eight species belong to the Dictyotales and two to the Fucales. Consequently, the seaweed community of Chaojing is considered as typical of subtropical one, while it has also several temperate species together.

Without exception, you have been so kind and supportive throughout the whole process. Although I only got to explore a small part of the vast world of algae, it surely has been an inspirational and interesting journey full of new learnings. Thank you for your guidance and patience in the field, the lab, and for always answering my questions. I could not ask for a better supervisor, and it has been a pleasure to work with you. Pedro, thank you for being an excellent co-supervisor. During this thesis, I very much appreciated your positive attitude and patience. Thank you for taking your time to explain the processes behind the molecular work and for guiding me through the statistical part, which I found particularly challenging. During stressful times, your support kept me calm and made sure I did not lose focus. Also, your feedback was very much appreciated. A special thank you to co-supervisor Geir Dahle at the Institute of Marine Science (IMR) for taking your time to help with the genetic analysis, the ABI Machine, and allele scoring, which was only possible at IMR. I also want to thank you for sharing your knowledge regarding microsatellite analysis, being helpful with the statistics, and providing good feedback.

Photo by Ellen Schagerström Summary The Baltic Sea is considered an ecological marginal environment, where both marine and freshwater species struggle to adapt to its ever changing conditions. Fucus vesiculosus (bladderwrack) is commonly seen as the foundation species in the Baltic Sea, as it is the only large perennial macroalgae, forming vast belts down to a depth of about 10 meters. The salinity gradient results in an increasing salinity stress for all marine organisms. This is commonly seen in many species as a reduction in size. What was previously described as a low salinity induced dwarf morph of F. vesiculosus was recently proved to be a separate species, when genetic tools were used. This new species, Fucus radicans (narrow wrack) might be the first endemic species to the Baltic Sea, having separated from its mother species F. vesiculosus as recent as 400 years ago. Fucus radicans is only found in the Bothnian Sea and around the Estonian island Saaremaa. The Swedish/Finnish populations have a surprisingly high level of clonality.

A total of 431 clones were subsequently identified by barcoding using 5’-COI. A proportion of 98% of the isolates belonged to the Ectocarpales. The distribution of pairwise genetic distances revealed a K2P divergence of 1.8% as species-level cut-off. Using this threshold, the samples were ascribed to 83 different species, 39 (47%) of which were identified through reference sequences or morphology. In the Ectocarpaceae, 16 lineages of Ectocarpus fulfilled the barcode criterion for different species, while three putative new species were detected. In the Chordariaceae, numerous microthalli were microstages of known macroscopic taxa. A separate cluster contained Hecatonema maculans and other microscopic species. Taxa traditionally classified in Acinetosporaceae were split in two species-rich groups containing Pylaiella and Hincksia in one and Acinetospora in the other.

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.
