Abstract excerpt
In this study, we examined genetic variation in resistance and tolerance to fouling organisms in the brown alga Fucus vesiculosus. We first grew 30 algal genotypes in the field, where we allowed fouling organisms to colonise the genotypes at natural levels. We then conducted a manipulative experiment, where we grew 20 genotypes of algae in aquaria with or without fouling organisms. We measured host resistance as...
