Development and characterization of microsatellite markers for the seagrass Halodule wrightii

Conservation Genetics Resources, 2011
Halodule wrightii is a seagrass widely distributed in tropical areas, particularly in the western Atlantic. We have developed eight microsatellite markers from H. wrightii for use in genetic studies. The number of alleles ranged from 2 to 12 and the observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.080 to 0.88, and from 0.077 to 0.86, respectively. No

Effects of Lyngbya majuscula blooms on the seagrass Halodule wrightii and resident invertebrates

Harmful Algae, 2017
Cyanobacterial blooms have been increasing worldwide due to increased nutrients associated with urban, industrial, and agricultural development. Blooms that occur in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), Florida may be increased by nutrient-laden runoff from storm water and non-point sewage pollution due to alterations to the watershed. In the IRL, during the

Factors Affecting Restoration of Halodule wrightii to Galveston Bay, Texas

Restoration Ecology, 1998
Experimental restoration of Halodule wrightii (shoalgrass) to its former range on Galveston Island, Texas, began in April 1994. We tested the effects of site, planting density, water depth, and fertilizer addition on survival and growth through June 1996.

Pharmaceutical potential of a fucoidan-like sulphated polysaccharide isolated from Halodule pinifolia

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2013
In continuation with the screening of biological properties of seagrasses, we isolated sulphated polysaccharides from Halodule pinifolia. This is the first report that indicates the presence of fucoidan-like H. pinifolia crude sulphated polysaccharide (HPCSP) that are commonly found in brown algae being present in marine angiosperms.

Interference between the macroalga Caulerpa prolifera and the seagrass Halodule wrightii

Aquatic Botany, 2005
A field experiment was conducted to examine interactions between the seagrass Halodule wrightii and the macroalga Caulerpa prolifera in the Indian River Lagoon, FL, USA, and further if the outcome of the interactions between the two species was influenced by water depth. The experiment involved the manipulation of neighbor presence in plots established

Phenology of a seagrass (Halodule wrightii) bed on the southeast coast of Brazil

Aquatic Botany, 1997
Abstract In this paper we provide some data about the phenology of a bed of Halodule wrightii , the most common seagrass on the Brazilian coast. Although the biomass of the studied bed was relatively low (ca. 88 g m −2 , dry weight), it was stable and influenced the local physiognomy of the area by supporting a diversified array of epiphytic and ...

Marine heatwaves and eutrophication jeopardize the seagrass Halodule wrightii and associated infauna

Marine Environmental Research
Coastal ecosystems such as seagrass meadows endure challenges imposed by marine heatwaves (MHWs) and eutrophication. Although the isolated impacts of these stressors are well documented, their combined effects are yet to be better understood. To fill this knowledge gap, we conducted a mesocosm experiment evaluating the combined effects of stress caused

Productivity and utilization of the seagrass Halodule wrightii and its attached epiphytes1

Limnology and Oceanography, 1984
Epiphytic algae growing attached to shoalgrass (Halodule wrightii) blades accounted for nearly half of the aboveground live biomass and primary productivity of two seagrass meadows in southern Texas from June–December 1980. They also accounted for the major fraction of recognizable diet material of common seagrass meadow macroinvertebrates, such as ...

Observation of fruit production by the seagrass Halodule wrightii in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico

Aquatic Botany, 2007
Halodule wrightii is a highly clonal, dioecious seagrass with a wide geographic range. Though sexual reproduction has been observed in other areas of its range, we report here the first documented case of fruit production in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico.
