It has been hypothesized that low water velocity, allowing localized photosynthesis-driven pH-increases in the coralline surface boundary layer, could buffer against the negative impacts of OA. To test how water motion affected the sensitivity of coralline algae to OA, coralline communities (from 2 m and 10 m depth) were grown for 220 days at two pH levels (present-day: pH 8.03, OA: pH 7.65) under differing inflow rates (400, 200 and 100 ml min–1) providing water velocities of 2.7, 5.9 and 7.8 cm s–1. Communities from both depths were grown together, photographed to assess growth, and the resulting recruitment was evaluated at the experiment’s conclusion. Low seawater pH reduced growth by c. 11% (highest flow), further decreased by >23% under the lowest flow. This reduction resulted in differential outcomes for the two depths, with skeletal net-dissolution under the combination of low flow and pH 7.65 for 10 m communities. Furthermore, there was a synergistic interaction between the effects of flow and pH, whereby the negative effect of OA strengthened under low flow, with recruitment halved at pH 7.65. This demonstrates that OA impacts can be modulated by the flow environment. Surprisingly, increased flow rates/water velocities reduced negative impacts of low pH, thus further challenging the notion that slow flow habitats offer protection from OA. The observed interactions between water flow and OA on early successional communities and their recruits may hold implications for the future of rocky reef systems dominated by these communities.KEYWORDS: Flow rateFuture oceanNew ZealandTemperate coralline communitiesWater motion ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSWe thank Brenton A.

However, interactions with other important local and global drivers such as ocean acidification, eutrophication and sedimentation, and the physiological mechanisms via which MHWs act on species are poorly understood. Additionally, past studies have often focused on ecologically dominant taxa such as kelps, fucoids and coral, potentially leading to a lack of understanding of direct impacts on associated species. To this end, we examined the individual and interactive impacts of MHW duration (14 and 28 days) and intensity (20.5°C and 23°C) as well as irradiance (2.3 and 4.4 mol m–2 d–1) on standardized growth of Caulerpa brownii, Corallina berteroi and Phymatolithopsis complex, three temperate macroalgal taxa that are important spaceholders in their native ecosystem in Te Whanganui a Tara Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand. All three taxa exhibited no declines in growth in response to the exposure to longer and more intense MHWs. We posit that the simulated MHW scenarios were tolerated due to large thermal safety margins which can be expected from the range centre/leading edge position of the sampled populations, even though some of these scenarios far exceeded the intensities encountered in this region previously. Interactions between intensity, duration and irradiance were limited to an antagonistic irradiance-duration interaction in the non-calcareous green macroalga Ca. brownii only. Together, the displayed tolerance of the study species to the simulated scenarios implies limited impacts of strong MHWs four weeks or shorter in duration on ecosystem functioning in New Zealand kelp forest systems if brown algal canopies remain intact.KEYWORDS: CaulerpaClimate changeCoralline algaeKelp forestMarine heatwave ACKNOWLEDGMENTSWe thank R.

The name Jania crassa has been previously widely applied in New Zealand and Australia. Data presented here show that Jania crassa differs from other species within the New Zealand region: of the eight species of Jania currently recognized, three are dichotomously branched, and two of these are known from southern New Zealand. Jania crassa can be distinguished from the smaller and epiphytic species of Jania in southern New Zealand, J. sphaeroramosa, on the basis of size and growth habit. Jania crassa appears to be an infrequently collected, possibly endemic species of southern New Zealand, with only one recent collection confirmed. Further collections and sequence data are needed to better understand the distribution of this species, particularly in neighbouring regions.KEYWORDS: Coralline algaeCorallinophycidaeFiordlandNew Zealandtype specimen ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSWe thank the many people who have assisted with field work and contributed to collections of coralline algae from New Zealand, particularly Kate Neill, Tracy Farr, Roberta D’Archino, and Chris Hepburn, and the team at the University of Otago.

The number of described species is around 40, but both the species and generic concepts are in need of revision. Warnowiaceans are often fragile and readily change morphology under the light microscope, and they are usually regarded to be rare. They are particularly famous for the eye-like structures, termed ocelloids. Studies on warnowiaceans are hampered by lack of cultures, and our studies are therefore based on cells obtained directly from field samples. We provide a description of Nematodinium parvum comb. nov . (syn. Pouchetia parva, Warnowia parva ), based on light, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, combined with phylogenetic analyses of ribosomal genes. It was described in 1908 by Lohmann from Kieler Bay, but is often common in Danish waters, allowing observations on distribution and behaviour. Crucial conditions for finding high cell abundances were periods of warm temperatures and a calm sea. Cells were yellowish, photosynthetic, and contained a net-like chloroplast, in addition to an ocelloid, trichocysts and harpoon-like nematocysts. They divided asexually but planozygotes were also seen. Following the demonstration of nematocysts, the species, which has been known as Warnowia parva since 1928, is transferred to Nematodinium . The finding of a peduncle indicates mixotrophy but all feeding experiments failed to identify a suitable prey. The phylogenetic analyses based on single-cell PCR and sequence determinations of small and large subunit rDNA confirmed that the systematics of Nematodinium and Warnowia is in a state of flux.","PeriodicalId":20140,"journal":{"name":"Phycologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41466064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
