Abstract

A descriptive model of calcification in the coralline red algae is integral to understanding their contributions to marine geochemistry, the responses of seascapes to global change, and their own evolution and ecology. Yet, the development of a holistic model of this process has so far been limited by the intrinsic challenge of assembling multiple lines of experimental and observational evidence from varied disciplines. To resolve this synthetic gap, we integrated ultrastructural, geochemical, biochemical and physiological data against a backdrop of anatomy and morphogenesis, which provide context for the localized process at play within the algal thallus. This synthesis represents a comprehensive description of calcification in the coralline red algae.
