A recent study has established a predictive framework for identifying the source populations of Chondria tumulosa, a cryptogenic red macroalga that has been rapidly overtaking coral reef ecosystems in Hawai'i's Papahānaumokuākea ...
Researchers from the HUN-REN Center for Ecological Research have developed a novel three-dimensional modeling method that accurately quantifies how microalgae affect underwater light conditions—one of the most critical factors ...
Algae in the ocean can pose a significant risk to humans, marine life, and the seafood industry. Under favorable conditions for algae growth, certain algae species can multiply rapidly, a phenomenon known as algal blooms. ...
South Australian beaches have been awash with foamy, discolored water and dead marine life for months. The problem hasn't gone away; it has spread.
Trace metals such as iron or zinc that are stored in deep-sea sediments are lost forever to phytoplankton on the ocean surface. This is what geochemists believed for a long time about the cycle of micronutrients in seawater. ...
While kelp forests persist along northern Maine's rocky coast, kelp abundance has declined by as much as 80% on the southern coast in recent decades. In its stead, carpet-like turf algae have moved in.
When Victoria Glynn came to Panama to study the effects of extreme ocean temperatures on coral reefs at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) as a pre-doctoral fellow in professor Rowan Barrett's lab at McGill ...
It was one of the largest, longest and most lethal harmful algae blooms in Southern California's recorded history, claiming the lives of hundreds of dolphins and sea lions between Baja California and the Central Coast. And ...
Researchers studying harmful algal blooms in the St. Louis River Estuary that separates Minnesota and Wisconsin have made a breakthrough discovery: for the first time, they've linked a known cyanotoxin directly to a specific ...
DTU researchers have developed an important coating for underwater drones and solar cell platforms. The coating will not adorn the drones in different colors, but rather act as a self-polishing layer that keeps algae and ...
