Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coralline algae (Corallinophycideae) are calcifying red algae that form the foundation of many shallow marine ecosystems globally, providing settlement sites for a range of invertebrate larvae, stabilisation of reefs and habitat for grazing and cryptofaunal species. This group of macroalgae are vulnerable to increased anthropogenic disturbances, in particular ocean acidification. Despite their ecological importance and vulnerability, little is known about their diversity, distribution and ecology, globally and within New Zealand. The primary objective of this work was to document the diversity and distribution of coralline algae in New Zealand, and examine the abiotic and biotic factors potentially influencing this distribution across different spatial scales. This body of work used DNA based phylogenetic methods to identify species of corallines collected in the southern region of New Zealand, incorporating data previously collected from central and northern New Zealand. A high level of diversity was revealed in southern New Zealand (77 species identified and 99 predicted), which is in line with what is currently being uncovered globally, with diversity that is two to four times higher than previously estimates that were based on morpho-anatomical identifications. Multivariate clustering and constrained ordination techniques, grouping sites based on similarities in coralline algae community structure and relating this to selected environmental parameters, identified sea surface temperature and light at the seabed as variables significantly correlated with these community groupings across the New Zealand region. Similarly, linear model analysis identified depth, likely a proxy for light, and the type of substrate as being the most important variables explaining the abundance of coralline algae (independent of species identity) across an often overlooked biogenic environment across Foveaux Strait. At local spatial scales (10-100’s m) patterns in coralline algal community structure revealed stochastic dispersal processes likely determine which species establish, followed by competitive interactions driving differences in abundances. These local scale processes are unlikely to influence diversity patterns seen at larger scales across the New Zealand region. Furthermore, high local scale diversity was observed, with few abundant and many rare species. This research provides an important molecular framework and information on distributional patterns of coralline algae needed to further advance knowledge on this ecologically important group.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nongeniculate coralline red algae, which constitute one of the most widely distributed and ecologically important groups of marine benthic algae, are the focus of this comprehensive treatment covering both fossil and non-fossil genera. Keys for identification of genera and 82 plates of photographic figures are included. Detailed analyses of diagnostic criteria, general descriptions of morphology and anatomy, and relevant taxonomic literature are also provided, along with a glossary of technical terminology, an extensive bibliography, and full nomenclature documentation. This book represents the culmination of 12 years' work on systematic concepts in the group by the author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coralline algae (Rhodophyta) are an important indicator of global environmental change in coastal ecosystem due to their global distribution and sensitivity to changing ocean climate. In temperate latitudes, coralline algae are a dominant component of macroalgae communities, are autogenic ecosystem engineers. They provide hard substrate for colonization of other marine algae and invertebrates, and food that helps sustain diverse communities of associated organisms. The metabolic processes, growth and reproduction of coralline algae heavily depend on environmental factors including light, temperature and ambient nutrients in seawater. These changes, in turn, directly affect physiological responses of coralline algae.
