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

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

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 ...

Genetic mosaicism and population connectivity of edge-of-range Halodule wrightii populations

Aquatic Botany, 2020
Abstract The genetic population structure of Halodule wrightii at locations in Florida, North Carolina, and Bermuda was investigated using 11 polymorphic microsatellite loci on samples representing 15 sites. We measured allelic diversity and genotypic richness and determined population differentiation and gene flow using principal components and k ...

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 ...

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.

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

Research Article: Quality of Halodule wrightii growing near marinas

BIOS, 2004
Abstract Researchers are just beginning to discover the importance of seagrasses, such as Halodule wrightii, to coastal ecosystems, but unfortunately seagrasses are being eliminated because of human manipulations. In the current study three locations of seagrass beds in Tampa Bay were studied: seagrass beds next to Tampa Bayside Marina, outside the ...
