Extending the Sea-Level Sensitive dynamic model of marine island biogeography to include fusion-fission islands Open
This study extends the Sea-Level Sensitive dynamic model of marine island biogeography by integrating the dynamics of fusion-fission islands during glacial-interglacial cycles with marine island biogeography theory. We discuss the variatio…

Propagule pressure and native macrophyte biomass mediate the success of an invasive alga: the role of below-ground microbial communities Open
Biological invasions pose a significant threat to local ecosystems and native species worldwide. For macrophytes, the interaction of factors such as native species biomass loss and propagule pressure of invasive species have important cons…

Dominance of photo over chromatic acclimation strategies by habitat-forming mesophotic red algae Open
Red coralline algae are the deepest living macroalgae, capable of creating spatially complex reefs from the intertidal to 100+ m depth with global ecological and biogeochemical significance. How these algae maintain photosynthetic function…

Red algae acclimate to low light by modifying phycobilisome composition to maintain efficient light harvesting Open
Background Despite a global prevalence of photosynthetic organisms in the ocean’s mesophotic zone (30–200+ m depth), the mechanisms that enable photosynthesis to proceed in this low light environment are poorly defined. Red coralline algae…

Ecosystem engineer morphological traits and taxon identity shape biodiversity across the euphotic–mesophotic transition Open
The euphotic–mesophotic transition is characterized by dramatic changes in environmental conditions, which can significantly alter the functioning of ecosystem engineers and the structure of their associated communities. However, the drive…

Positive and Negative Species Interactions Shape Recruitment Patterns of a Range Expanding Native Alga Open
A species’ ability to spread is in part governed by the extent to which recipient habitats either resist, tolerate or promote the species’ recruitment. In disturbed marine environments, there is a general trend for the loss of algal canopi…

Propagule composition regulates the success of an invasive seaweed across a heterogeneous seascape Open
Propagule pressure is acknowledged as a key determinant of invasion success. Nonetheless, the role of morphological or physiological attributes of propagules (i.e. their quality) in regulating invader establishment has been little explored…

Microbial communities in sediment from <i>Zostera marina</i> patches, but not the <i>Z. marina</i> leaf or root microbiomes, vary in relation to distance from patch edge Open
Background Zostera marina (also known as eelgrass) is a foundation species in coastal and marine ecosystems worldwide and is a model for studies of seagrasses (a paraphyletic group in the order Alismatales ) that include all the known full…
