A team of evolutionary biologists and ecologists has a new idea for how scientists should classify algae species. FSU Assistant Professor of Biological Science Sophie McCoy and her team are proposing ...
A newly discovered species of algae has been transformed through selective breeding and genetic engineering to survive and produce fuel in environments that would kill most organisms. The research is ...
A group of scientists has discovered a species of algae that is capable of being selectively bred and could help create a renewable alternative to fossil fuels. Algae has already been used to produce ...
An international team of marine scientists has identified and officially named four species of algae new to science, challenging previous taxonomical assumptions within the Porolithon genus. The ...
Last summer, divers set out from China Cove Beach to remove an invasive algae species from Newport Harbor, and the city at the time said it had been removed by way of vacuum pumps that extracted the ...
As Dr. Amsler points out, his lab collects material for algal taxonomists, particularly for Dr. Hommersand. “Dr. Hommersand and other algal taxonomists help us a great deal with identifying the ...
Small shrimps of the genus Hippolyte have the ability to change color to camouflage themselves in the algae where they live and escape predators. Depending on the algae they are in, they can turn red, ...
Rhodoliths may look like small rocks on the seafloor, but they are actually living algae that create habitats for marine life ...
Algae is potentially a hugely exciting food source. But with a couple of notable exceptions, it has yet to set the food industry on fire, says Provectus Algae, a startup developing an automated ...
A new species of alga found in Hawaii is emerging as a potential threat to coral reefs. Researchers from the University of Hawaii conducted a study establishing that the red algae have been growing on ...
Vacuum dredging of an invasive algae species out from Newport Harbor was completed earlier this month, but city officials extended a local emergency declaration on the issue to allow for federal and ...
A groundbreaking discovery has been made in the heart of the world-renowned Great Barrier Reef and unique reefs systems of the Coral Sea and Lord Howe Island, leading to a greater understanding of how ...
