Although not normally considered the most glamorous of Mother Nature’s offerings, #algae has found itself at the heart of many a key moment in the last few hundred years of botanical science. @TheRoyalFig explores... https://publicdomainreview.org/essay/visions-of-algae-in-eighteenth-century-botany

Did... did you know that the algae in the Caulerpa genus are unicellular organisms? Like... they consist of only one cell (with multiple nuclei, but still one cell)?
We discovered it only now, after seeing these species of algae so many times... incredible.
Unbelievable. Amazing.

RT by @EU_MARE: A very interesting visit to the Centre of Marine Science at the University of Algarve today, where I could test the results of marine research projects firsthand. Good to see the great potential of #algae in action, and joint work with fishers, for instance, in sea-floor mapping.

🌱🌊 Long before the first tree sprouted, #Earth’s green life began as tiny #algae in the sea. The Conversation explains the 500-million-year transition from water to land, detailing how early #plants like mosses paved the way for the oxygen-rich world we live in now.

What was the very first plant in the world?

Plants changed the atmosphere, built soil and created ecosystems that allowed animals like us to thrive. But first they had to make their way from the water to the land.

The Conversation

Out on the shallow #sea, there are #foraminifera living on seaweed, we call them epiphytes. You'd think that these forams would each have a favorite #algae, but not. If any, the two groups seem to share more common responses to external forcing than on each other.
