On the identity and origin of the Mediterranean invasive Caulerpa racemosa (Caulerpales, Chlorophyta)
Recent morphological and genetic studies on the Caulerpa racemosa (Forsskål) J. Agardh complex have demonstrated that three taxa occur in the Mediterranean Sea. One of them, the ‘invasive variety’, provisionally regarded as close to C. racemosa var. occidentalis J. Agardh, is currently spreading spectacularly throughout the Mediterranean. On the basis of new morphological and molecular studies ...
متن کاملStimulation of nitrogen fixation in refractory organic sediments by Caulerpa taxifolia (Chlorophyta)
Estimates of N2 fixation by substrata associated with the rhizophytic alga Caulerpa taxifolia were obtained using the acetylene reduction method. On average, growth of C. taxifolia enhanced rates of acetylene reduction in underlying dead sea grass sediments by a factor of 28, although the degree of enhancement was variable. The average rate of ethylene production was 3.96 nmol cm23 h21 (range 5...
متن کاملAn algorithmic model for invasive species: Application to Caulerpa taxifolia (Vahl) C. Agardh development in the North-Western Mediterranean Sea
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the propagation of the green alga of tropical origin Caulerpa taxifolia (Vahl) C. Agardh in the north-western Mediterranean sea—introduced in 1984—by means of an algorithmic computer model. In order to take into account spatial interactions and anthropic dispersion or activities such as eradication and introduction of specific predators, the model is base...
متن کاملNeural-network metamodelling for the prediction of Caulerpa taxifolia development in the Mediterranean sea
This paper addresses the use of neural networks as a metamodelling technique for discrete event stochastic simulation to reduce signi"cantly the computational burden involved by the simulations. A sophisticated computer model has been developed to anticipate the propagation of the green alga Caulerpa taxifolia in the northwestern Mediterranean sea. The simulation model provides reliable predict...
متن کاملAn Intracellular Transcriptomic Atlas of the Giant Coenocyte Caulerpa taxifolia
Convergent morphologies have arisen in plants multiple times. In non-vascular and vascular land plants, convergent morphology in the form of roots, stems, and leaves arose. The morphology of some green algae includes an anchoring holdfast, stipe, and leaf-like fronds. Such morphology occurs in the absence of multicellularity in the siphonous algae, which are single cells. Morphogenesis is separ...
