Diatom-dominated microphytobenthos (MPB) is the main primary producer of many intertidal
and shallow subtidal environments, being therefore of critical importance to estuarine and …

Pigments homologous to the green fluorescent protein (GFP) have been proposed to fine-
tune the internal light microclimate of corals, facilitating photoacclimation of photosynthetic …

The optical properties of diatom silicate frustules inspire photonics and nanotechnology
research. Whether light interaction with the nano‐structure of the frustule also affects diatom …

Climate change-related coral bleaching, ie, the visible loss of zooxanthellae from the coral
host, is increasing in frequency and extent and presents a major threat to coral reefs …

Intensified coastal eutrophication can result in an overgrowth of seagrass leaves by
epiphytes, which is a major threat to seagrass habitats worldwide, but little is known about …

Tidal estuaries are regarded as highly important ecosystems, mostly due to their high
primary productivity and associated role as carbon sinks. In these ecosystems, primary …

Corals are very efficient at using solar radiation, with photosynthetic quantum efficiencies
approaching theoretical limits. Here, we investigated potential mechanisms underlying such …

Rapid progress in algal biotechnology has triggered a growing interest in hydrogel-
encapsulated microalgal cultivation, especially for the engineering of functional …

Abstract Pulse-amplitude–modulated (PAM) fluorimetry is widely used in photobiological
studies of corals, as it rapidly provides numerous photosynthetic parameters to assess coral …

Coral reefs are constructed by calcifying coral animals that engage in a symbiosis with
dinoflagellate microalgae harboured in their tissue. The symbiosis takes place in the …
