Genetic structure of the giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera along the southeastern Pacific (2010, background): “Alternatively high levels of gene flow among populations may have a direct relationship with the high dispersal potential of M. pyrifera, especially given its ability to float once detached (Macaya et al. 2005, Hernández-Carmona et al. 2006).”
Detached aquaculture buoys in the SE Pacific: Potential dispersal vehicles for associated organisms (2009, background): “The velocities of released buoys (0.2 to 1.9 km h–1) in proximity to the shore were within the range reported for macroalgae, wood, volcanic pumice and plastics (Harrold & Lisin 1989, Thiel & Gutow 2005a, Hernández-Carmona et al. 2006, Ingólfsson 2006).”
GLOBAL ECOLOGY OF THE GIANT KELP MACROCYSTIS : FROM ECOTYPES TO ECOSYSTEMS (2007, background): “Drifting Macrocystis sporophytes may provide an additional aggregation mechanism because reproductive sporophylls will travel together (Hernández-Carmona et al. 2006) and Dayton et al. (1984) observed a path of recruitment in the trail of a drifting reproductive Macrocystis sporophyte.”
