Dynamic structural colour increases photosynthetic performance in the alga Ericaria selaginoides

Abstract: Structural colour occurs when nanoscale structures interfere with incident light transmission and reflect particular wavelengths. The brown alga Ericaria selaginoides (Fucales, Phaeophyceae) has an opalescent photonic crystal anatomy that creates the blue colour of this seaweed but which responds to light, leading to speculation that the crystals have a photosynthetic role by modifying light transmission. Here, we characterize the colour response of E. selaginoides using time-lapse photography to capture respo… Show more
