Species in the genus Durvillaea are also sometimes called "bull kelp", but this is just a shortening of the common name southern bull kelp. Durvillaea is a genus in the order Fucales and, though superficially similar in ...

Durvillaea bull kelp grow within intertidal and shallow subtidal areas, typically on rocky wave-exposed coastal sites. [15] D. antarctica and D. poha are intertidal, whereas D. willana is subtidal (to 6 m depths). [18] Intertidal species can grow at the uppermost limit of the intertidal zone if there is sufficient wave wash. [19]
The bull kelp genus Durvillaea includes six species, some that have adapted buoyancy and others that have not. Those that have adapted buoyancy have done so thanks to the evolution of a gas filled structure called the pneumatocysts which is an adaptation that allows the kelp to float higher towards the surface to photosynthesize and also aids ...
There is a large amount of fresh water present due to the Mississippi River, Missouri River, and Lake of the Ozarks, with numerous smaller rivers, streams, and lakes.
