Discovery suggests that #RedAlgae use colors for inter-species communication https://phys.org/news/2025-05-discovery-red-algae-inter-species.html

"a certain kind of cells of red #algae contain bodies of tightly packed microspheres of a light-reflecting material. In the growth tips of the alga, these microspheres are all of the same size, which allows light of a single, blue color to be reflected... As the cells mature, the microspheres lose their uniform size, which causes light of all colors to be reflected, resulting in a whitish hue."

Discovery suggests that red algae use colors for inter-species communication

Some red algae exhibit structural color that gives their growth tips a blue hue and the rest of their bodies, including their fruiting structures, a white hue. Moreover, since the color-producing structures are located together with anti-herbivory chemicals, the Kobe University discovery is the first to suggest that red algae use colors for inter-species communication.

RedToL (Evolutionary biology 🧬)

RedToL, or Red Algal Tree of Life, is part of the collaborative National Science Foundation Assembling the Tree of Life activity, funded through the Division of Environmental Biology, Directorate for Biological Sciences. The overall goal of AToL is to resolve evolutionary relationships for large groups of organisms throughout the history of life, w...
