Dear ResearchGate Community,
As I delve deeper into marine biology, I am particularly interested in expanding my knowledge of the taxonomy, ecology, and physiology of algae, with a focus on macroalgae (seaweeds). Unfortunately, my university does not offer a dedicated course on these topics (Phycology). Therefore, I am seeking to educate myself independently.
Could you kindly recommend essential books, guides, scientific papers, or any other academic resources that would help me gain a thorough understanding of marine algae? Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
I think the book Phycology by Robert Edward Lee is quite useful to know the basics about algae. It covers reproductive stages, morphology, classification and ecology. I´m not an expert in the field, but I think it contains the basics.
I hope you find it useful!
Basic knowledge-Raven "Biology of Plants".
If to go deeper, than it depends on the taxonomic group and your region.
