  • Historical Changes in Macroalgal Communities in Hardangerfjord (Norway)
    Marine Biology Research, 2014 Vol. 10, No. 3, 226Á240, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17451000.2013.810751 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Historical changes in macroalgal communities in Hardangerfjord (Norway) VIVIAN HUSA1*, HENNING STEEN2 & KJERSTI SJØTUN3 1Institute of Marine Research, Bergen, Norway, 2Institute of Marine Research, His, Norway, and 3University of Bergen, Department of Biology, Bergen, Norway Abstract Hardangerfjord is the second largest fjord in Norway and is situated on the southwest coast. During the last century the fjord has been influenced by a variety of anthropogenous activities such as industry, hydro-electrical power plants and since 1980 an increase in fish farming. This study was carried out in order to investigate whether changes in the macroalgal communities of Hardangerfjord have taken place since the 1950s. The macroalgal composition at a number of stations investigated in 2008Á2009 was compared to recordings from the same stations during the 1950s. While the distribution and abundance of dominant groups (fucoids, kelps) showed a high resilience when compared to recordings from the 1950s, some changes in the macroalgal communities in the fjord were evident. The present study showed higher species richness and a higher frequency of species with a warm-water affinity. Since the first part of the 1990s an increase in summer sea surface temperatures has taken place in the area, and the observed algal changes suggest a pronounced temperature effect on macroalgal communities. A number of red algal species was observed to protrude further into the fjord in the present study than in the 1950s, probably caused by altered salinity regime due to the electrical power industry.

  • The Classification of Plants, V. 489
    April, 1909.] The Classification of Plants, V. 489 THE CLASSIFICATION OF PLANTS, V. JOHN H. SCHAFFNER. In a previous paper the entire plant kingdom was classified into seven fundamental divisions or sub kingdoms, representing the great successive stages in the evolution of plants as a whole. These groups do not show genetic relationships but simply steps in the upward evolutionary motion. But there is a principle of segregation operative in the organic kingdom as well as one of progression. The whole plant kingdom thus comes to be a series of greater and smaller divergent lines or branches. In a group of nonsexual organisms every line of descent is a single line which diverges from another line at a definite point, but in a sexual group, where interbreeding goes on freely, there is an interaction throughout the whole mass and the scheme of descent resembles an elongated net with greater and smaller meshes. The whole progressive network of descent of a group may, however, also be represented by a line. When individuals or groups of individ- uals arise which become sterile to other members of the general group a new line is segregated, so that for the larger groups the diagram of descent must be quite similar whether of sexual or nonsexual forms, even though the diagram for individuals is fundamentally different in the two cases. As a convenient guide to memory, the scheme of relationships may be represented graphically by a tree with greater and smaller branches. Every branch thus recognized, whether large or small, is characterized by some peculiarity which remains dominant in all of the individuals and groups of the branch.

Lane Jason Kolbe Tatiana Rynearson Nasser H. Zawia DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2017 ABSTRACT Parasitism is a common life strategy throughout the eukaryotic tree of life. Many devastating human pathogens, including the causative agents of malaria and toxoplasmosis, have evolved from a photosynthetic ancestor. However, how an organism transitions from a photosynthetic to a parasitic life history strategy remains mostly unknown. Parasites have independently evolved dozens of times throughout the Florideophyceae (Rhodophyta), and often infect close relatives. This framework enables direct comparisons between autotrophs and parasites to investigate the early stages of parasite evolution.

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.
