Aims
• Do the species differ in length?• Does any species prefer any specific attachment
type?• Does the length of the alga depend on the
attachment type?• Is there any competition between native and non-
native species?• Does the length reflect any habitat provision? • May the non-native species have any effect on
biodiversity?

Methods
• Measuring length of thalli
• Determine attachment type

Results
• No obvious dependence of length and attachment type
• Attachment type does not influence growth
• Not possible to state if species prefer any specific attachment type
![Page 12: Alien species on Sylt Seaweeds Maria Redeker, Carolin Barz, Olga Kolychalow](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d065503460f949d94d2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Discussion
• Notably longer thalli and complexity of structure of both invasive species may imply a larger surface, i.e. habitat
• S. muticum supports twice as many species (local) as F.vesiculosus
• S. muticum provides habitat for species which otherwise would be rare or absent (e.g. several species of red algae)
![Page 13: Alien species on Sylt Seaweeds Maria Redeker, Carolin Barz, Olga Kolychalow](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d065503460f949d94d2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Discussion
• No competition between S. muticum and F. vesiculosus as they occur at different water levels
• G. vermiculophylla and F. vesiculosus occur in the same spots
![Page 14: Alien species on Sylt Seaweeds Maria Redeker, Carolin Barz, Olga Kolychalow](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d065503460f949d94d2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Conclusions
• Up to now no replacement of native species recorded in SE Wadden Sea
• Seem to have positive effects on habitat formation and biodiversity
• As non-native algae species are expected to increase in abundance, this might affect competitive ability of native species
![Page 15: Alien species on Sylt Seaweeds Maria Redeker, Carolin Barz, Olga Kolychalow](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d065503460f949d94d2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Conclusions
• Species have the potential to alter the ecology of Wadden Sea
• Attempts to eradicate S. muticum likely to fail
• Due to insufficient knowledge it is not possible to predict the future effects
• More research is needed !!!!!!
