A re-examination of Laminaria gunneri reveals it to be synonymous with Hedophyllum nigripes (Laminariales, Phaeophyceae) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Analyzing kelps from Berlevåg fitting Foslie's description of Laminaria gunneri (from 1885) showed that it was Hedophyllum nigripes 😊
A re-examination of Laminaria gunneri reveals it to be synonymous with Hedophyllum nigripes (Laminariales, Phaeophyceae)
The kelp Laminaria gunneri Foslie was described from Berlevåg in Northern Norway in 1885 and separated from Hedophyllum nigripes (J.Agardh) Starko, S.C.Lindstrom & Martone, but its taxonomic status...

Finally is this story out public!! With an amazing historical dataset from IMR (@havforskningsinstituttet) we demonstrate how human perturbations impact the genomic signal in one of the largest cod stocks in the world: the northeast arctic cod | Science Advances www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
A century of anthropogenic perturbations impact genomic signatures of the iconic migratory Atlantic cod
Retrospective assessment of the iconic migratory Atlantic cod uncovers human-induced genome-wide changes during the last century.
