Tropics to the Poles: A Snapshot of Coastal Eukaryotic Marine Microalgal Diversity Across Five Ecoregions Open
Eukaryotic microalgae are key organisms in marine environments, contributing to essential nutrient and biogeochemical cycles. Climate change is already causing shifts in the composition and diversity of microalgal assemblages, with coastal…

A glimpse into the future: How the timing of sea ice formation influences associated microalgal communities Open
This study investigates the impact of unseasonable storm events in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica, in 2022 on eukaryotic microalgal communities (EMCs). We assessed EMCs from the fast-ice and sub-ice platelet layer (SIPL) associated with fast-ic…

Light-dependent variations in fatty acid profiles and gene expression in Antarctic microalgal cultures Open
Photosynthetic eukaryotic microalgae are key primary producers in the Antarctic sea ice environment. Anticipated changes in sea ice thickness and snow load due to climate change may cause substantial shifts in available light to these ice-…

A comparison of two gene regions for assessing community composition of eukaryotic marine microalgae from coastal ecosystems Open
Two gene regions commonly used to characterise the diversity of eukaryotic communities using metabarcoding are the 18S ribosomal DNA V4 and V9 gene regions. We assessed the effectiveness of these two regions for characterising diverisity o…

Molecular approaches and challenges for monitoring marine harmful algal blooms in a changing world Open
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) of marine microalgae are a growing concern globally and many studies predict that their occurrence, range, and toxicity may increase with climate change, highlighting the need for responsive and adaptable monito…

Assessing the performance and efficiency of environmental DNA/RNA capture methodologies under controlled experimental conditions Open
Growing interest and affordability of environmental DNA and RNA (eDNA and eRNA) approaches for biodiversity assessments and monitoring of complex ecosystems have led to the emergence of manifold protocols for nucleic acids (NAs) isolation …
