General form with various green algae and Vaucheria spp. in the upper saltmarsh.
Edges of branches under a stereo microscope, showing distinctive branch ends.
A new #Seaweed for: Possible Bostrychia scorpioides (Scorpion-tailed Saltmarsh Weed)?, an odd red algae from the upper saltmarsh in Essex. 🌿🏖️

So next time you spot these crimson seaweeds clinging between mussels and barnacles, remember — they’re quiet but powerful builders of coastal life.

A magnified view of a finely branched scarlet red seaweed. The main axes have occasional enlarged branchlets that look like swollen hooks

New month, new page in my calendar of #intertidal photos! July gets to show off Plocamium pacificum, one of the gorgeous red #algae we have in Northern California. It lives in the low intertidal in exposed rocky areas, and is one of my favorites.

See our comment on @currentbiology.bsky.social about the new Bostrychia moritziana genome paper. A huge step for a under-sampled branch of life.
Congrats @borglab.bsky.social & all authors!

Happy #PhycologyFriday! Spring has sprung here and I hope to be out in the field soon looking for these gems - freshwater #redalgae. Pictured #Batrachospermum, Tuomeya, Sheathia
Narrow blades of seaweed moving in the current. The blades are dark blood red with striking pale veins
Today for #phycologyfriday: the gorgeous Erythrophyllum delesserioides, found along exposed, wave-swept coasts of the PNW

Scientific illustration by A. H. Lindquist of red algae species Thamnoclonium bunburyense, Thamnoclonium proliferum and Thamnoclonium spongioides.
Just added structured data to the gorgeous images of #RedAlgae featured in the publication Florideernes morphologi. The frustrating thing is I can't find the scientific illustrators "A. H. Lindquist", "C. I. Lundberg, nor the lithographer "B. Cronholms". #BHL commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Categor...
Always a nice treat to find Odonthalia washingtonensis in storm drift here in Victoria! 🤩 What are your favorite red algae? #Seaweeds #Algae #RedAlgae
A blade of reddish-brown Chondracanthus red algae with very tiny bumps all over it, which are called papillae.
Two blades of reddish-brown Chondracanthus red algae with very tiny bumps all over it, which are called papillae.
For perspective, this is what a full blade of Chondrocanthus exasperatus looks like – the little bumps on it are the papillae. Common name is Turkish Towel. #tidepools #redalgae #turkishtowel
On the other hand the chemicals found in these #snails, that likely make them distasteful, is more similar to compounds in #redalgae ! Pigment ink and aquarelles.
New study is first to identify a #pollinator for #algae:
Researchers discovered that small #crustaceans improve the #reproduction rate of #redalgae by transporting the sperm from the male to the female algae. https://sohub.io/kxcs
