Fluctuations in photosynthetic characteristics related to chloroplast translocation have been known in the foliose green algae Ulva lactuca var. latissima and var. rigida and U. mutabilis according to photoperiod. In Ulva, the single parietal chloroplast is found along the thallus surface wall and exhibits high photosynthetic activity during the light period; the chloroplast then moves towards the side walls and shows low...

The VIP CORALS Marine Repository Hub: Laying foundations for science and discovery in the VIP
The Philippines is said to be the center of the center of marine shore fish biodiversity because of a key marine biodiversity corridor known as the Verde Island Passage (VIP), which has up to 1,736 species over a 10 x 10 km area (Carpenter and Springer 2005). The VIP harbors a vast and rich marine...
Threats on Natural Stand of Philippine Teak along Verde Island Passage Marine Corridor (VIPMC), Southern Luzon, Philippines.
This study documents the threats of the critically endangered Tectona philippinensis in the backdrop of the past conservation policies and projects. Twelve 20m x 50m plots were distributed in three altitudinal strata (S1= 50 – 100 m asl, S2= 150 to 200 m asl, and S3= 250 – 300 m asl) using stratified random sampling. Every tree was examined...
Characterization of photosynthesis and growth of Monostroma latissimum (Ulvophyceae) collected from the intertidal area in Kochi, Japan
The photosynthesis and growth of the commercially important and edible green seaweed, Monostroma latissimum (Ulvophyceae), from a naturally occurring population in the intertidal area were examined in the laboratory. The natural population inhabits the middle to upper intertidal area and is usually attached to rocks. Cultivation occurs mostly in the shallow and calm waters under...
