Molecular Networking Leveraging the Secondary Metabolomes Space of Halophila stipulaceae (Forsk.) Aschers. and Thalassia hemprichii (Ehrenb. ex Solms) Asch. in Tandem with Their Chemosystematics and Antidiabetic Potentials [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2021
The Red Sea is one of the most biodiverse aquatic ecosystems. Notably, seagrasses possess a crucial ecological significance. Among them are the two taxa Halophila stipulacea (Forsk.) Aschers., and Thalassia hemprichii (Ehrenb. ex Solms) Asch., which were

A successful method to restore seagrass habitats in coastal areas affected by consecutive natural events [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Seagrass meadows, known for providing essential ecosystem services like supporting fishing, coastline protection from erosion, and acting as carbon sinks to mitigate climate change effects, are facing severe degradation.

Reduced transfer of metals and metalloids from pelagic Sargassum spp. accumulated in artificial floating barrier [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Since 2011, holopelagic Sargassum have been massively stranding in the coastal environments of the Caribbean Islands inducing damages to coastal ecosystems, public health and the economy.

Exotic Halophila stipulacea is an introduced carbon sink for the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
AbstractCarbon and nitrogen storage in exotic Halophila stipulacea were compared to that in native Posidonia oceanica and Cymodocea nodosa meadows and adjacent unvegetated sediments of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and to that in native H. stipulacea of the Red Sea at sites with different biogeochemical conditions and level of human pressure. Exotic H.

Shifts in biodiversity and physical structure of seagrass beds across 5 decades at Carriacou, Grenadines. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Caribbean seagrass beds are facing increasing anthropogenic stress, yet comprehensive ground-level monitoring programs that capture the structure of seagrass communities before the 1980s are rare. We measured the distribution of seagrass beds and species

Tropical seagrass Halophila stipulacea shifts thermal tolerance during Mediterranean invasion. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci, 2020
Exotic species often face new environmental conditions that are different from those that they are adapted to. The tropical seagrass Halophila stipulacea is a Lessepsian migrant that colonized the Mediterranean Sea around 100 years ago, where at present the minimum seawater temperature is cooler than in its native ...

The Changes in Biochemical Compositions of Five Different Macroalgae and Seagrass (Halophila stipulacea (Forsskal) Ascherson 1867) Collected from Iskenderun Bay

Journal of Advanced Research in Natural and Applied Sciences, 2022
In present study, biochemical compositions (ash, lipid and protein) of five different macroalgae ((Green Macroalgae-GMA (Chaetomorpha linum and Caulerpa prolifera), Red Macroalgae-RMA (Pterocladiella capi-lacea), Brown Macroalgae-BMA (Sargassum vulgare ...

ITS DNA Barcoding Reveals That Halophila stipulacea Still Remains the Only Non-Indigenous Seagrass of the Mediterranean Sea

Diversity, 2022
Non-indigenous species (NIS) are one of the major threats to the native marine ecosystems of the Mediterranean Sea. Halophila stipulacea was the only exotic seagrass of the Mediterranean until 2018, when small patches of a species morphologically ...

Food selection and habitat use patterns of immature green turtles (Chelonia mydas) on Caribbean seagrass beds dominated by the alien species Halophila stipulacea

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Marine herbivores face rapid changes in the coastal ecosystems where they forage. In the Caribbean, the recent and fast expansion of the invasive phanerogam species Halophila stipulacea is threatening native seagrass ecosystems. So far, H.

Seagrass (Halophila stipulacea) invasion enhances carbon sequestration in the Mediterranean Sea

Global Change Biology, 2021
AbstractThe introduction and establishment of exotic species often result in significant changes in recipient communities and their associated ecosystem services. However, usually the magnitude and direction of the changes are difficult to quantify because there is no pre‐introduction data.
