Our article about Sea lettuce #seaweed biodiversity is now published in TAXON: "Incorporating historic specimens to reassess Ulva diversity in the Netherlands and Belgium" We found Ulva shanxiensis, a freshwater species, for the first time outside China! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

The end of the year marks the wrap-up of our European Ulva Taxonomy Initiative (EULVA) sampling campaign. We’re thrilled that we collected and received nearly 4,000 samples, covering an impressive range from Svalbard to Marocco and from Georgia to the Azores! sites.google.com/view/eulva

Last #PhycologyFriday, I successfully defended my #PhD and became a Doctor! And the good thing is...after 4 years, I still love #seaweeds ;-)

Happy #PhycologyFriday! Here's a photo of a fluffy Bellotia eriophorum to remind me of Tasmania's beautiful underwater landscapes, while I prepare the predefence of my PhD thesis next week. #seaweeds
