Researchers have revealed that most coralline algae experience negative effects from ocean acidification. Analysis of previous studies showed that changes in ocean chemistry can lead to declines ...

An international team of researchers has studied the coralline algae fossils that lived on the last coral reefs of the Mediterranean Sea between 7.24 and 5.3 million years ago. Mediterranean algae ...

During a recent cruise to the Southern Line Islands, I, along with other researchers from Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego, had the opportunity to sample coralline algae across this ...

Coralline algae, a group of calcified red algae, play a critical role in marine ecosystems by contributing to reef stability and acting as ecosystem engineers. Taxonomically, ...

Discover how an algae-based gel enhances coral restoration by attracting larvae to damaged reefs, increasing settlement rates by up to 20 times.

In particular, a critical reef organism called crustose coralline algae—a hard algae that Bolden describes as the "glue" that holds a reef together—is especially vulnerable to rising temperatures, ...

Within coralline algae, some species are more sensitive than others. In New Zealand, coralline algae provide important surfaces for larval settlement of many species, including pāua and kina.

We hope that, based on these findings, we can use innovative methods to produce artificial materials . . . which will be as light, flexible, and strong." ...
