Additionally, the discovery of a new species, Kumanoa periyarensis, in the Western Ghats of India, further enriches the known diversity of freshwater red algae. This species was characterized by ...

Before species go extinct, their populations often shrink and become isolated. Healthy populations tend to have a large gene ...

Multiple species of brown algae (class Phaeophyceae), for example, have evolved over time from a male/female binary into co-sexual hermaphrodites. Susana Coelho, a biologist at the Max Planck Research ...

Giant clams, some of the largest mollusks on Earth, have long fascinated scientists. These impressive creatures can grow up ...

Another important focus has been on the diversity of the algal partners, particularly within the genus Trebouxia, which is one of the most common groups of lichen-forming algae. Studies have shown ...

The lake in particular has been besieged by nutrient pollution for decades, causing unprecedented blooms of blue-green algae. Also known as cyanobacteria, blue-green algae produce cyanotoxins, which ...

Researchers sequenced the genome of the giant clam Tridacna maxima, revealing genetic adaptations for algae symbiosis. These ...

We are analysing the patterns of functional and genetic diversity of lichenised fungi, algae and cyanobacteria in freshwater and coastal habitats across the world. We are focusing on the ecology, ...

Giant clams, among the largest mollusks in the ocean, are a fascinating part of tropical coral reefs. These enormous ...
