Abstract

AlgaeBase (http://www.algaebase.org) is a web‐searchable store of information on those protists generally considered to be algae. Access is free and some 10,000 browser searches on average now take place each month. The database was established in 1996 and at first only included seaweeds. Its main function at this time was as a catalog of the marine algae of Europe for the European Union‐funded BioMar and European Register of Marine Species (ERMS) projects, and for the recently published Atlas and Check‐list of the Seaweeds of Britain and Ireland. The data are now being extended to cover all algae. Over 50,000 names, of which about half are presently accepted species names, are now included, together with the names of some 3500 genera, about 3000 common names, approximately 700 pictures, and in excess of 28,000 literature references. URL‐based links from a number of other databases including the Species 2000 Annual Check‐list, BIOSIS, GenBank, and Codes for Australian Aquatic Biota have been implemented. It is intended to initiate similar connections from new initiatives such as EuroCat and SPICE, and a number of other global biodiversity databases. As part of a further EU‐funded project, SeaweedAfrica (http://www.seaweedafrica.org), AlgaeBase is being completely rewritten as an SQL database with a browser‐enabled interface, enabling access by a panel of taxonomic experts. AlgaeBase hopes thereby to continue to provide high‐quality access to community‐serviced data in the best traditions of the Internet.

Mapas de distribución de algas marinas de la Península Ibérica y las islas Baleares. XXVIII. "Dasya" ("Ceramiales", "Rhodophyta")

“…El resto de citas de esta especie se refieren al noroeste de Europa y nordeste de América, océano Índico, oeste de África, Australia, Filipinas y Mar Caribe (Taylor 1960, Guiry & Guiry 2011. En la Península Ibérica esta especie no ha sido encontrada hasta el momento, y en las islas Baleares sólo se ha hallado en Menorca y Mallorca.…”

“…Dasya corymbifera se distribuye a lo largo de la cuenca mediterránea , el océano Atlántico y el océano Índico (Guiry & Guiry 2011). En la Península Ibérica y las islas Baleares esta especie se encuentra escasamente representada.…”

“…

INTRODUCCIÓNEl género Dasya cuenta actualmente con 81 especies y está ampliamente distribuido en mares subpolares, templados y tropicales (Guiry & Guiry 2011). Presenta desde especies con un área de distribución muy restringida, como es el caso de Dasya rigescens -exclusiva del Adriá-tico y del Mediterráneo occidental-, hasta otras con una distribución mundial muy amplia, como por ejemplo Dasya baillouviana.

Codium fragile in Norway: subspecies identity and morphology

“…scandinavicum was hypothesised to be a northern-adapted subspecies of C. fragile potentially originating from Siberia (Silva 1957), whereas subsp. atlanticum had a more southern distribution, and is listed as observed in Norway, the British Isles, France, the Netherlands, Spain and the Azores (Guiry and Guiry 2015).…”

Ulva and Enteromorpha (Ulvaceae, Chlorophyta) from two sides of the Yellow Sea: analysis of nuclear rDNA ITS and plastid rbcL sequence data

“…More than 140 Ulva and 135 Enteromorpha species are distributed globally in coastal areas, and a few species occur in fresh water (Guiry et al, 2002;Hayden et al, 2003). These two genera are also known for their frequent blooms, which occur worldwide.…”
