When large quantities of brown #algae are repeatedly #washedashore over an extended period, my first question as an acarologist is naturally which interesting, and possibly phoretic, terrestrial #organisms, such as mites, are specifically #adapted to these #conditions. But these algae are a phenomenon with #ecological #repercussions that must be understood. It is particularly interesting, thus, that it is the #phosphorus content that affects #symbiotic #cyanobacteria, which promote algal growth

#Blueweed #Echium #vulgare (#Boraginaceae) is naturally distributed from #Europe to Central Asia and occurs as a neophyte e.g. in North America and Australia. It is highly #adapted to #drought and nutrient-poor soils. According to K. A. Leiss et al. (2004), the amount of #nectar #produced is genetically determined, although #environmentalfactors also play a role. #biodiversity
