Comparative study on microphytobenthic pigments of muddy and sandy intertidal sediments of the Tagus estuary (2006, methodology): “…regarding the distribution and abundance of benthic microalgae can be derived from methods like spectral reflectance (e.g. Paterson et al., 1998), chlorophyll a fluorescence (e.g. Serôdio et al., 2001) or high performance liquid chromatography (e.g. Brotas and Plante-Cuny, 1998).”
Photosynthetic activity, photoprotection and photoinhibition in intertidal microphytobenthos as studied in situ using variable chlorophyll fluorescence (2008, methodology): “The descending migration under high light has been interpreted as a behavioural photoacclimation or photoprotective strategy, by which motile microalgae modulate their light exposure by moving through the steep vertical light gradient within the sediment (Kromkamp et al., 1998; Perkins et al., 2001;”
Patterns in microphytobenthic primary productivity: Species‐specific variation in migratory rhythms and photosynthetic efficiency in mixed‐species biofilms (2005, background): “Migration could represent an energetically cheap, rapid, and plastic response to optimize productivity compared to other photophysiological adaptations (Serôdio et al. 2001).”
