Phycological Research publishes studies on algae, including cyanobacteria, red algae, brown algae, and diatoms. Research focuses on their taxonomy, morphology, molecular phylogeny, and ecological roles. Studies often involve fieldwork, laboratory experiments, and molecular analyses to describe new species, understand population dynamics, and assess responses to environmental changes like temperature and habitat conditions.
