DOI: 10.1007/s10811-017-1148-9
Abstract: Previous study has found that microscopic epiphytic algae might be the main factor causing giant kelp mortality in an aquarium setting, but little is known about how environmental factors influence the interaction between these taxa.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jembe.2019.151247
Abstract: Abstract Understanding how climate change may influence ecosystems depends substantially on its effects on foundation species, such as the ecologically important giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera). Despite its broad distribution along strong temperature and pH gradients… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-62294-3
Abstract: Species interactions are crucial for the persistence of ecosystems. Within vegetated habitats, early life stages of plants and algae must survive factors such as grazing to recover from disturbances. However, grazing impacts on early stages,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jpy.12493
Abstract: Recent findings on holdfast development in the giant kelp highlighted its key importance for Macrocystis vegetative propagation. We report here for the first time the development of adventitious holdfasts from Macrocystis stipes. Swellings emerge spontaneously… read more here.
