Boring algae
and an increased chlorophyll b to chlorophyll a ratio for better light capture in low light. Furthermore, an Ostreobium strain living in a coral skeleton, where nearly all of the red light has been captured by the zooxanthellae in the coral tissue, has been shown to have modified chlorophyll with a spectrum shifted towards far-red wavelengths. As zooxanthellae cannot use far-red light, more of ...
متن کاملGlobal biodiversity patterns of benthic marine algae.
Species richness patterns are remarkably similar across many marine taxa, yet explanations of how such patterns are generated and maintained are conflicting. I use published occurrence data to identify previously masked latitudinal and longitudinal diversity gradients for all genera of benthic marine macroalgae and for species in the Order Bryopsidales. I also quantify the size, location, and o...
متن کاملDistribution of Iodine in Egyptian Marine Algae
Thirty-two species of Egyptian marine algae of Chlorophycophyta, Phaeophycophyta and Rhodophycophyta collected from the Mediterranean (17 spp.) and Red (15 spp.) Seas has been analyzed for their content of iodine. ' Distribution of iodine in Egyptian marine algae showed noticeable local differences. The highest values were obtained in the species collected from the Mediterranean Sea. Iodine con...
متن کاملUsing geographical information techniques to quantify the spatial structure of endolithic boring processes within sediment grains of marine stromatolites.
Marine stromatolites are generated through the interactions of environmental parameters and specific microbial processes. The activities of endolithic bacteria, that bore canals through calcium carbonate (CaCO(3)) sand grains (ooids) and reprecipitate the CaCO(3) as a single layer (i.e. micritic laminae) are especially important in the longer term stability of the stromatolite macrostructure. I...
متن کاملThe marine algae of the Sistan and Baluchestan Province, Iran
The identification of marine algae in the Sistan and Baluchestan Province were performed from December 1998 to November 1999 at the coastal area of Gwatr (25 10´ N; 61 30´ E) and Mydani (25 24´ N; 59 5´ E). Data on vegetation were gathered in subtidal and intertidal zones by seasonal and monthly sampling, respectively. Samples were transferred to the laboratory and fixed...
