The grazing impact of megaherbivores on sediment accumulation and stabilization functions of seagrass meadows in a subtropical coral reef lagoon

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 7, Page 1835-1848, July 2025.
Abstract Seagrasses thrive in shallow lagoons between land and fringing coral reefs, serving as a buffer that mitigates the propagation of environmental stressors from land to reefs. However, mass grazing by megaherbivores poses a significant threat to seagrass loss, impacting the sustainability of tropical coastal habitats. Despite the urgency of this

Why Do Large Dugong Aggregations Persist in Continuous Seagrass Meadows Despite Anthropogenic Disturbances Around Hawar Island, Bahrain

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Spatially explicit aggregations of wide‐ranging marine mammals are important conservation targets. Determining why particular sites sustain such aggregations is crucial to ensure effective science‐based management. In Bahrain, large dugong aggregations (defined as > 50 dugongs) persist predictably around Hawar Island, occupying these waters ...

How much seagrass does a dugong need? Metabolic rate of live wild dugongs, Dugong dugon, determined through indirect calorimetry (oxygen consumption)

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 41, Issue 2, April 2025.
Abstract Deterioration of seagrass beds worldwide has raised concern about the future of dugongs because almost all aspects of their life history depend on availability of seagrass. Understanding their energy metabolism and consequently how much seagrass they need will inform protective conservation strategies for dugongs. This study determined resting

Disturbance Is an Important Driver of Clonal Richness in Tropical Seagrasses

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Clonality is common in many aquatic plant species, including seagrasses, where populations are maintained through a combination of asexual and sexual reproduction. One common measure used to describe the clonal structure of populations is clonal richness.

The Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Halodule uninervis Ethanolic Extract in LPS-Stimulated RAW 264.7 Macrophages

Medicinal plants have been used since ancient times for the treatment and prevention of various diseases. Plant-derived compounds offer a promising alternative to synthetic an-ti-inflammatory drugs, with potent activity and reduced toxicity. The seagrass Halodule uninervis exhibit several pharmacological properties due to the presence of various bioac ...

Seagrass proliferation precedes mortality during hypo-salinity events: a stress-induced morphometric response.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Halophytes, such as seagrasses, predominantly form habitats in coastal and estuarine areas. These habitats can be seasonally exposed to hypo-salinity events during watershed runoff exposing them to dramatic salinity shifts and osmotic shock.

Physicochemical Characteristics of Surface Waters in the Habitats of Enhalus acoroides and Halodule uninervis in Palk Bay, Tamil Nadu, India

World Journal of Biology Pharmacy and Health Sciences
Background: Hydrological studies are essential for understanding the interactions among various trophic levels and the structure of food webs. In recent years, significant attention has been devoted to analyzing the physicochemical parameters of coastal waters to assess water quality and the biodiversity of seagrass meadows.
