[LTER-sbc_all] Fwd: [seminars] PhD Seminar - Lindsay Marks - FRIDAY

[Jenny Dugan]

Hi everyone,

SBC LTER student, Lindsay Marks, is presenting her PhD Seminar this Friday
at noon.


Details below.

*Distribution, Biology and Ecology of the Invasive Seaweed Sargassum
horneri in its Introduced Range*



*Friday, January 18 at 12 pm*

MSRB Auditorium



Committee: Dan Reed, Sally Holbrook, Carla D’Antonio



*Abstract*
*Sargassum horneri* is a seaweed native to eastern Asia that has recently
become established in the coastal waters of southern California and Baja
California, Mexico. Despite its rapid spread, little is known about the
biology and ecology of this invasive alga in its introduced range. In this
seminar, I will provide a synopsis of *S. horneri* distribution, biology
and ecology including: invasion chronology, local abundance, life history
and dispersal, mechanisms of invasion, impact on native species, and
potential for control. This research provides the first comprehensive
assessment of *S. horneri* distribution, biology and ecology and explains
several life history characteristics and ecological interactions that have
contributed to its invasion success in the eastern Pacific.
