plants found on earth. Growing from the seafloor and extending along the ocean surface in …

Kelp cultivation started in Japan, China and Korea, mainly for human consumption; new
applications are still expanding. In Chile, three 'wild'Lessonia species and Macrocystis …

Aim Marine habitats and their dynamics are difficult to systematically monitor, particularly
those in remote locations. This is the case with the sub‐Antarctic ecosystem of the giant kelp …

The accelerated development of seaweed aquaculture is stimulating research on the
genetic drivers of phenotypic diversity of the target species, in order to optimize breeding …

Aims Some biogeographical regions act primarily as donors of colonists to other regions,
while others act predominantly as recipient areas. How some biotas become dominant while …

Giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera, exists as distinct morphological variants—or “ecomorphs”—
in different populations, yet the mechanism for this variation is uncertain, and environmental …

Biodiversity hotspots may result from the retention of lineages through past climatic changes,
local diversification of lineages or the accumulation of lineages derived from elsewhere …

Much of the morphological and ecological diversity present on earth is believed to have
arisen through the process of adaptive radiation. Yet, this is seemingly at odds with …

Macrocystis pyrifera is a foundation species that creates kelp forests and supports essential
ecosystem services across coastal environments. Over the past half-century, more than 95 …
