The 'Great Southern Reef': social, ecological and economic value of Australia's neglected kelp forests (2016, background): “…high diversity and endemism is thought to be the stable climatic and geological history it has experienced over the past 50 million years (cf. the biodiversity hotspot in the tropical Indo-Pacific: Bellwood and Meyer 2009) alongwith its geographical isolation (Phillips 2001; Langlois et al. 2012).”
Can macroalgae contribute to blue carbon? An Australian perspective (2015, background): “Here, we specifically address the contribution macroalgae could play in carbon sequestration in the Australian context; a region that possesses the greatest biodiversity of macroalgae globally and high endemism (Phillips 2001).”
Biogenic habitat structure of seaweeds change along a latitudinal gradient in ocean temperature (2011, background): “It likely evolved from the temperate Tethyan marine flora on the south coast (Phillips, 2001), and its declining abundance into warmer waters (this study, Smale et al.”
Physiological responses of habitat‐forming seaweeds to increasing temperatures (2016, background): “S. dorycarpa, in contrast, belongs to a monospecific genus endemic to southern Australia (Womersley 1987) and is likely to have evolved from the cool, temperate Tethyan marine flora on the southern coast (Phillips 2001).”
Variation in the morphology, reproduction and development of the habitat-forming kelp Ecklonia radiata with changing temperature and nutrients (2013, background): “…biodiversity (Anderson et al. 1996, Smith et al. 1996, Wernberg et al. 2009), and in southern Australia, kelp habitat (parti cularly Ecklonia radiata) contributes to the world’s highest rates of regional endemism in both marine algae and invertebrates (Bolton 1996, Phillips 2001, Kerswell 2006).”
Global diversity and geography of planktonic marine fungi (2019, background): “Consequently, it seems likely that obligate biotrophs would be associated, and ultimately regionally limited, with endemic marine macroalgae (Phillips 2001).”
Climate change and Australian marine life (2007, background): “This high endemism is also documented in Australia’s temperate macroalgae (Bolton 1996, Phillips 2001).”
Distribution models predict large contractions of habitat‐forming seaweeds in response to ocean warming (2018, background): “The marine flora of Australia’s Great Southern Reef (Bennett et al., 2016) is one of the most species rich in the world, with many endemic species and genera (Bolton, 1994; Phillips, 2001).”
Report Seaweed Communities in Retreat from Ocean Warming (2011, background): “This corresponds to as much asw25% of the current southern seaweed flora (Figure 2B), of which as much as a quarter or more is endemic to Australia [27]; even if our simple back-of-the-envelope calculation is an overestimate, it implies a considerable risk of substantial loss of global species diver”
Impacts of climate change in a global hotspot for temperate marine biodiversity and ocean warming (2011, background): “With 30–40% of theworld's species ofmacroalgae, the algal flora of southern Australia is themost speciose in theworld (Bolton, 1994; Kerswell, 2006), and up to 50% of its species are estimated to be endemic (Phillips, 2001).”
