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.

Multicellularity: Red algal genomic expansion fine-tuned with transposable elements Red algae are one of the most genomically under-sampled lineages of complex multicellularity in eukaryotes. A new study provides a chromosome-level ge…

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!
