Macroalgae in mesophotic coral ecosystems are generally understudied compared to corals
and fishes yet may be more abundant than coral-dominated reefs given their lower depth …

Aim Our aim was to uncover patterns of distribution of marine subtidal rocky reef
communities across six taxonomic groups and decompose the relative roles of species loss …

The ocean represents the largest biome on earth; however, we have only begun to
understand the diversity and function of the marine microbial inhabitants and their …

Macroalgae structure coastal ecosystems affecting metabolism, nutrient dynamics, and food
webs. Spatially explicit prediction of macroalgal abundance is critical for understanding …

Algal assemblages are critical components of marine ecosystems from the intertidal to
mesophotic depths; they act as primary producers, nutrient cyclers, and substrate providers …

Global sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are increasing, and in Hawaiʻi, rates of ocean
warming are projected to double by the end of the 21st century. However, current nearshore …

Background A second species in the siphonous green algal genus Avrainvillea was recently
discovered off the island of O 'ahu in the Main Hawaiian Islands. Specimens were collected …

Some introduced species compete directly with native species for resources and their
spread can alter communities, while others do not proliferate and remain benign. This study …

The Bryopsidales is a diverse order of green algae that includes important members of the
marine environment as carbon and nutrient cyclers, ecological engineers, and substrate …

Thraustochytrids are fungoid protists ubiquitous in the marine environment and found to be
associated with decaying macroalgae. Not much is known about their association with living …
