Researchers detect algae linked to potentially fatal food poisoning in Hervey Bay prompting calls for more rigorous water ...

A group of scientists has discovered a species of algae that is capable of being selectively bred and could help create a renewable alternative to fossil fuels. Algae has already been used to ...

A study suggests that several species of brown algae may have independently evolved to express both sexes simultaneously, and it’s likely that female algae evolved male traits—not the other way around ...

Harmful algal blooms, sometimes called HABs, occur when algae grow out of control. Algae are photosynthetic organisms that ...

Giant clams, some of the largest mollusks on Earth, have long fascinated scientists. These impressive creatures can grow up ...

Researchers knew that many species of algae produced energy-dense lipids that could be converted to biofuels, and teams around the world began to explore how to supercharge this lipid production.

A 28-year study of phytoplankton interactions in Chilean coastal waters found that salinity, more than temperature, ...

Brazilian and British researchers have observed that a small crustacean that changes color according to the marine vegetation ...

But these animals don’t bulk up on a high-protein diet. Instead, they rely largely on energy produced by algae living inside them. In a new study led by CU Boulder, scientists sequenced the genome of ...

Giant clams, among the largest mollusks in the ocean, are a fascinating part of tropical coral reefs. These enormous ...
