Host-related microbiota are critically important for the adaptation/acclimation of hosts to changing environments, but how environmental factors and host characteristics shape the microbial communities remains largely unknown. We investigated the effects of temperature on habitat-forming macroalgae and their associated bacterial communities. Three Sargassum species (S.

- Sargassum horneri plays a crucial role as a habitat-forming seaweed in the Northwest Pacific, influencing both benthic and floating seaweed rafts in the Yellow Sea and East China Sea.
- The study demonstrated high genetic diversity across samples, revealing two distinct lineages with evidence of long-term isolation dating back to the mid-Pleistocene.
- Analyses showed deep genetic variation and limited connectivity between regions, indicating that even with high dispersal potential, there are significant barriers to gene flow, and there may be undiscovered sources contributing to the floating seaweed populations.

By using sediment trap and suction pump to measure the relative sediment levels across different sites and water depths, and through the in situ measurements of Sargassum horneri density, this paper assessed the relationships between the distribution of S. horneri and the sediment levels and wave exposure on the rocky subtidal platforms around Gouqi Island, China. The laboratory-based experiments were also conducted to test the effects of different sediment levels on the attachment of S.
