Global marine conservation remains fractured by an imbalance in research efforts and policy
actions, limiting progression towards sustainability. Rhodolith beds represent a prime …

Photoautotrophic marine ecosystems can lock up organic carbon in their biomass and the
associated organic sediments they trap over millennia and are thus regarded as blue carbon …

There is growing concern over climate models that project significant changes in the oceans,
with consequences on marine biodiversity and human well-being. However, marine and …

Ecologically important marine ecosystems should be identified and protected, as is the case
of the poorly known SW Atlantic rhodolith beds. Understanding the main variables predicting …

Anthropogenic climate change presents a major challenge to coastal ecosystems. Mass
population declines or geographic shifts in species ranges are expected to occur, potentially …

Rhodolith beds are diverse and globally distributed habitats. Nonetheless, the role of
rhodoliths in structuring the associated species community through a hierarchy of positive …

Red coralline algae create abundant, spatially vast, reef ecosystems throughout our coastal
oceans with significant ecosystem service provision, but our understanding of their basic …

The frequency of short-term oceanic warming events [“marine heatwaves”(MHWs) or heat
spikes] has increased over the past century and is projected to further increase because of …

Rhodolith beds built by free-living coralline algae are important ecosystems for marine
biodiversity and carbonate production. Yet, our mechanistic understanding regarding …

Rhodolith growth and CaCO 3 production remain poorly quantified along the SW Atlantic
Ocean, and it is difficult to relate the available measurements with biomass estimates …
