Rare phytomyxid infection on the alien seagrass Halophila stipulacea in the southeast Aegean Sea [PDF]

Mediterranean Marine Science, 2017
Phytomyxids (Phytomyxea) are obligate endosymbionts of many organisms such as algae, diatoms, oomycetes and higher plants including seagrasses. Despite their supposed significant roles in the marine ecosystem, our knowledge of their marine diversity and distribution as well as their life cycles is very limited.

EFFECTS OF TOXIC ELEMENTS ON LEAF MORPHOLOGY OF HALOPHILA STIPULACEA GROWINMINE DUMP SEDIMENTS IN SOUTHEAST JORDAN

EQA, 2017
Plants, in particular seagrasses, that grow in contaminated areas can uptake and accumulate Potential Toxic Elements (PTEs) in their tissues. This accumulation in turn can produce several effects on plant morphology and health status. This study, carried

Species-Specific Trait Responses of Three Tropical Seagrasses to Multiple Stressors: The Case of Increasing Temperature and Nutrient Enrichment

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Seagrass meadows are declining globally. The decrease of seagrass area is influenced by the simultaneous occurrence of many factors at the local and global scale, including nutrient enrichment and climate change.

The Contribution of Subtidal Seagrass Meadows to the Total Carbon Stocks of Gazi Bay, Kenya

Diversity, 2022
Seagrass beds occur globally in both intertidal and subtidal zones within shallow marine environments, such as bays and estuaries. These important ecosystems support fisheries production, attenuate strong wave energies, support human livelihoods and ...

Reconsidering the role of introduced species in the climate‐affected and highly invaded eastern Mediterranean

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Bioinvasions are considered mostly as a biodiversity and conservation hazard, but in specific situations, introduced species can bring ecological or socioeconomic benefits. We assessed the social–ecological role of marine introduced species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea—a global hotspot of bioinvasions and extirpations—and their potential ...

Algal flora associated with a Halophila stipulacea (Forsskål) Ascherson (Hydrocharitaceae, Helobiae) stand in the western Mediterranean [PDF]

Oceanologica Acta, 1999
Halophila stipulacea, a seagrass introduced into the Mediterranean Sea as a Lessepsian immigrant, is nowadays common in the eastern Mediterranean, and it was recently recorded in the western Mediterranean; very little information is available about the algal flora associated with this species.

Climate Change Enhances the Success of Marine Invasive Species

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
Climate change is associated with increased marine invasion success, especially over longer time scales. Short‐term experiments showed variable and non‐significant responses, whereas medium‐term observational studies and long‐term models showed significant positive effects.

The Effects of Non-Indigenous Macrophytes on Native Biodiversity: Case Studies from Sicily

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Biological invasions are widely recognized as a major threat to native biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and services. Non-indigenous species (NIS) may in time become invasive (invasive alien species (IAS)), determining significant environmental ...

Cabomba caroliniana and Schoenoplectus californicus as Antifouling Candidates: Anti‐Attachment and Toxicological Effects in Aurelia coerulea (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa)

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 356-372, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Biofouling on artificial surfaces in aquatic ecosystems leads to significant economic losses. Current antifouling paints, while effective, often harm the aquatic environment. This study explores ecologically safe antifouling alternatives derived from plants, focusing on the aquatic macrophytes Cabomba caroliniana (CC) and Schoenoplectus ...

The distribution of seagrasses in Dominica, Lesser Antilles

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2010
Seagrass beds are the largest organism-built marine habitat in Dominica, yet have only been surveyed since 2007. Standardized examinations along a depth gradient between 0 and 24m, focusing on magnoliophyte species composition and benthic cover of shoots
