1. Physiological adaptations in two ecotypes of Fucus vesiculosus and in Fucus radicans with focus on salinity
Abstract : The in origin intertidal marine brown alga Fucus vesiculosus L. grow permanently sublittoral in the brackish Bothnian Sea, side by side with the recently discovered F. radicans L. Bergström et L. READ MORE

2. Trophic effects on the maintenance of biodiversity in the Fucus zone
Abstract : Ecologically important macroalgae with large thalli and complex structures are threatened worldwide due to anthropogenic activities such as pollution. In the northern Baltic Sea the salinity is very low; the only large algae producing complex structural habitats found there are the fucoid species Fucus radicans and F. vesiculosus. READ MORE

3. Ecophysiological responses of Baltic and Atlantic Fucus vesiculosus to environmental factors
Abstract : The Baltic Sea is a species-poor ecosystem where marine species coexist with freshwater species. The Baltic Sea offers low salinity, low content of inorganic carbon, long cold winters and no tides. READ MORE

4. Physiological responses of marine and brackish Fucus vesiculosus L. with respect to salinity
Abstract : The intertidal brown alga Fucus vesiculosus L. is mainly a marine species (34 practical salinity units, psu), but the alga also grows in the sublittoral of the brackish Bothnian Sea (part of the Baltic Sea; 5 psu). READ MORE

5. Grazing and the geographical range of seaweeds : The introduced Fucus evanescens and the newly described Fucus radicans
Abstract : Along the coast of temperate oceans brown algae of the genus Fucus form dense stands on rocky shores and are keystone species of the coastal ecosystem. These large seaweeds are perennial and function as substrate for many sessile marine organisms, provide shelter for fauna and juvenile fish, and are food source. A number of abiotic (e.g. READ MORE
