Identificaciones de jroycha

• Lessonioopsis littoralis: species of red algae
• Found in intertidal and subtidal zones of coastal areas worldwide
• Characterized by its small, bushy, tufted growth form
• Typically red or reddish-brown in color
• Attached to rocky substrates or other algae
• Reproduces via spores released from specialized structures
• Provides habitat and food for marine organisms, contributing to coastal biodiversity
• Sensitive to environmental changes, including water temperature and nutrient levels
• Research on Lessonioopsis littoralis contributes to understanding marine ecology and biodiversity
• Conservation efforts may focus on protecting coastal habitats where the species is found, indirectly benefiting its population.

• Alaria marginata: species of brown algae
• Found in cold coastal waters of the North Pacific Ocean, particularly along the coasts of North America and Asia
• Characterized by its large, strap-like fronds with distinct margins
• Typically brown or golden-brown in color
• Attached to rocky substrates by a holdfast
• Reproduces via spores released from specialized structures
• Provides habitat and food for marine organisms, contributing to coastal biodiversity
• Can form dense underwater forests in intertidal and subtidal zones
• Plays a role in nutrient cycling and coastal ecosystem dynamics
• Research on Alaria marginata contributes to understanding marine ecology, biodiversity, and coastal dynamics
• Conservation efforts may focus on protecting habitats where the species is found, indirectly benefiting its population.

• Laminaria sinclairii: brown algae species
• Found in cold, nutrient-rich coastal waters, particularly in the North Atlantic Ocean
• Characterized by large, leathery, blade-like fronds with a central stipe
• Typically brown or golden-brown in color
• Attached to rocky substrates by a holdfast
• Reproduces via spores released from specialized structures
• Provides habitat and food for marine organisms, contributing to coastal biodiversity
• Can form dense underwater forests, known as kelp forests
• Important for ecosystem health, as it contributes to nutrient cycling and provides habitat for various species
• Research on Laminaria sinclairii contributes to understanding marine ecology, biodiversity, and coastal dynamics
• Conservation efforts may focus on protecting kelp forest habitats where the species is found, indirectly benefiting its population.

-Has a lighter underbelly as well
-leaves behind “snail trail”
-found crawling around in the soil bellow a jasmine plant
-I thought it may or may not be invasive because the plant was recently transferred
