During the past decade, the relative abundance of the brown macroalgae Dictyota spp. has been high in the Florida Keys. Recent studies have shown that members of this genus successfully reproduce via vegetative fragmentation. To investigate the importance

The coral reefs of French Polynesia (FP) have experienced repeated macroalgal blooms over the last decades. These events have prompted intense efforts in fundamental and applied research on macroalgae in this ecoregion, especially regarding species of

Species of the brown alga Dictyota dominate the reef tract in the Florida Keys. In surveys during summer and fall months between 1994 and 2001, Dictyota occupied as much as 70% of the benthos on Conch Reef. Dictyota spp. were found growing epiphytically

Through an aquarium-based study, we provide evidence that exposure to macroalgae (Dictyota spp.), seawater with reduced pH (7.6 vs 8.1), and elevated temperature (31.8 vs 28.8 °C) causes distinct and additive repercussions for larval settlement and condition
