Corallinaceae

	Corallinaceae The Corallinaceae are one of the two extant Coralline families of red algae; they are differentiated from the morphologically similar Sporolithaceae by their formation of grouped sporangial chambers, clustered into sori. The Corallinoideae is monophyletic; the other subfamilies form another monophyletic group. Genera The following genera are listed in the World Register of Marine Species: Subfamily Amphiroideae Genus '' Amphiroa'' J.V. Lamouroux, 1812 Genus '' Lithothrix'' J.E. Gray, 1867 Subfamily Corallinoideae Genus '' Alatocladia'' (Yendo) Johansen, 1969 Genus '' Arthrocardia'' Decaisne, 1842 Genus '' Bossiella'' P.C.

picture info	Coralline Algae Coralline algae are red algae in the order Corallinales. They are characterized by a thallus that is hard because of calcareous deposits contained within the cell walls. The colors of these algae are most typically pink, or some other shade of red, but some species can be purple, yellow, blue, white, or gray-green. Coralline algae play an important role in the ecology of coral reefs. Sea urchins, parrot fish, and limpets and chitons (both mollusks) feed on coralline algae. In the temperate Mediterranean Sea, coralline algae are the main builders of a typical algal reef, the ''Coralligène'' ("coralligenous"). Many are typically encrusting and rock-like, found in marine waters all over the world. Only one species lives in freshwater. Unattached specimens (maerl, rhodoliths) may form relatively smooth compact balls to warty or fruticose thalli. A close look at almost any intertidal rocky shore or coral reef will reveal an abundance of pink to pinkish-grey patches, distributed throug ...

	Amphiroa ''Amphiroa'' is a genus of thalloid red algae under the family Corallinaceae. Taxonomy and nomenclature Amphiroa was first described by Jean Vincent Félix Lamouroux in 1812 with the type species for the genus being ''Amphiroa tribulus''''.'' This genus was named after Amphiro, a sea nymph in the epic poem of Theogony by the Greek poet Hesiod. There are currently 72 accepted species names for this genus. Morphology ''Amphiroa'' is composed of an erect thallus that is attached to the substrate with an insconspicous crustose base, and possess mature branches differentiated into alternating areas calcified intergenicula and uncalcified genicula that is composed of more than cell layer and does not exhibit any dimerous flange-like branches. Specimens can reach around 30 cm in size. The thalli take a crustose form; dichotomous branches are formed. The organisms possess secondary pit connections. ''Amphiroa'' reproduces by means of conceptacles; it produces tetraspores. Its p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Jania (alga) ''Jania'' is a genus of red macroalgae (or seaweeds) with hard, calcareous, branching skeletons in the family Corallinaceae. Taxonomy and Nomenclature The genus name of ''Jania'' is derived from the Greek water nymph called Ianeira (or ''Janeria''). It was first circumscribed by Jean Vincent Félix Lamouroux in 1812. Based on a recent integrated taxonomic examination of the genus, and by extension its tribe Janieae, the members of ''Cheilosporum'' and ''Haliptilon'' have all been transferred under genus ''Jania''''.'' As a result, there is currently around 55 confirmed species for this genus. Morphology ''Jania'' is an articulated coralline algae characterized by having erect thalli with dichotomously-arranged branches composed of alternating segments of red or pink, calcified, cylindrical sections (intergeniculum) and white uncalcified sections (geniculum); that is attached to the substrate by small, stolon-like holdfasts. Intergenicula of this genus can be cylindrical, s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Corallina Pinnatifolia ''Corallina'' is a genus of red seaweeds with hard, abrasive calcareous skeletons in the Family (biology), family Corallinaceae. They are stiff, branched plant-like protists with articulations. Corallina, like all red algae, are not considered plants, despite being photosynthetic.

	Bossiella ''Bossiella'' is a genus of coralline algae with 5 recognised species. It reproduces via conceptacles; individual thalli only produce conceptacles of a single sex.

	Calliarthron ''Calliarthron'' is a genus containing two species of thalloid intertidal alga. Specimens can reach around 30 cm in size. The thalli take a crustose form. The organisms lack secondary pit connections. ''Calliarthron'' reproduces by means of conceptacles; it produces tetraspores, dispores and carpospores. The genus has lignin and contains secondary cell walls, traits which are normally associated with the vascular plants. It is similar to the genus '' Bossiella''. ''Calliarthron'' is calcified, but also has uncalcified joints that allow it to flex in response to the waves to which it is subjected. These joints start out calcified, and decalcify as they grow older. After decalcifying they grow much longer, then fatten themselves up in the same way as xylem formation, resulting in secondary walls. Species The 2 species currently recognised are:Paul W. Gabrielson, Kathy Ann Miller, and Patrick T. Martone (2011) Morphometric and molecular analyses confirm two distinct spe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
