Studies examining the relationship between seaweeds and the diversity of associated
organisms have been attempted far less than those focusing on the influence of terrestrial …

Nonindigenous marine species continue to be one of the foremost threats to marine
biodiversity. As an update to a 2007 review of the impacts of introduced macroalgae, we …

Rafts of drifting pelagic Sargassum that are circulating across the Atlantic Ocean are
complex ecosystems composed of a large number of associated species. Upon massive …

We conducted a bibliographic survey, adding 69 taxa to a published list of 277 seaweeds,
thereby updating the total worldwide list of non-native and cryptogenic seaweeds to 346 …

Biological invasions represent a threat to ecosystems, through competition and habitat
destruction, which may result in significant changes of the invaded community …

There is an increasing concern about the ecosystem consequences of altering macroalgal
assemblages. Many macrophytes are foundation species in coastal habitats, supporting …

Highly diverse microphyto and meiobenthic communities are associated with large-sized
marine macroalgae. Both morphological traits and allelochemical responses of macroalgae …

Marine macrophytes (macroalgae, seagrasses, and mangroves) comprise thousands of
species distributed in shallow water areas along the world's coastlines. They play a key role …

Latitudinal biodiversity gradients vary across taxonomic groups and spatial scales, and
various environmental factors have been associated with those patterns. However, it …

Invasive seaweeds have the potential to disrupt ecosystem functioning if they are unsuitable
hosts for the small mobile invertebrates (epifauna) that are an important trophic link between …
