tosynthesis of intertidal algae from a southern New Zealand shore. Botanica mar., 30(2):121- 127.

A comparison of the photosynthetic rates of six algal species found in different tidal zones on a rocky

shore showed that although complete recovery after drying occurs after 3 h in all species, the 'extent of recovery from a given degree of drying' was correlated with vertical position on the shore (greatest recovery in species from the upper shore).

propagules at the shore: a review. Botanica mar., 30(2):151-165.

Factors affecting the temporal and spatial compo- sition of the assemblage of macroalgal propagules (spores, gametes, zygotes, and fertile tissue frag- ments) reaching coastal areas are discussed and comparisons made, where possible, with seed dis- persal in terrestrial plants. Some of the major sources of patchiness include seasonality of production, variability in the amount and dispersibility of propagules produced, distance and concentration of the source, and environmental factors.
