“…However, in a manipulative experiment in New England, removal of a dense cover of fucoids (principally Ascophyllum nodosum ), had little effect on live density or cover of Spartina alterniflora , but did change the composition of epifaunal and infaunal animals (Tyrrell et al. ). Wetland microalgae too might affect vascular plants: microalgal exopolymer secretions may stabilize sediments along the lower boundary of tidal marshes promoting plant colonization (Coles ).…”

“…The algal flora of tidal wetlands including emergent marshes consists of a phylogenetically diverse assemblage of diatoms, cyanobacteria, green algae, red seaweeds, Vaucheria , and other macroalgae (Sullivan and Currin , Janousek , Tyrrell et al. ). Benthic microalgae are usually embedded in a matrix of inorganic particles and organic material in the top few millimeters of sediment.…”

“…Ecads also are known in the closely related fucoid Ascophyllum nodosum (Chock and Mathieson, 1976;Chock and Mathieson, 1979;. All fucoid ecads are characterized by the absence of a holdfast; a dwarf morphology; asexual reproduction; and curled, proliferating thalli (see also references in Wallace et al, 2004) and may be a major source of biomass and productivity in these habitats (Tyrrell et al, 2012;Tyrrell et al, 2015).…”

“…Her efforts also went into garnering a trust that provides funds for a post-doctoral fellow to perform high-level research in conservation ecology. Michele, her students, and post-doctoral fellows performed a variety of research activities that included studying the utilization of marsh ecosystems by fish (Dionne et al 1999;MacKenzie and Dionne 2008), coastal restoration (Burdick and Dionne 1994;Burdick et al 1997;Koniski et al 2006), assessing human and climate threats on coastal systems (Chen et al 2009;Crain et al 2009;Dijkstra et al 2013;Eberhardt et al 2011), and investigating species-specific interactions in marsh ecosystems (Dijkstra et al 2012;Tyrrell et al 2012). She was a proponent of long-term monitoring that could provide effective baseline data sets to determine the conditions of these ecosystems (Neckles and Dionne 2000).…”
