Ecomorphological diversification of squamates in the Cretaceous [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2021
Squamates (lizards and snakes) are highly successful modern vertebrates, with over 10 000 species. Squamates have a long history, dating back to at least 240 million years ago (Ma), and showing increasing species richness in the Late Cretaceous (84 Ma ...

The fossil recordand evolution of freshwater plants: A review

Geologica Acta, 2003
Palaeobotany applied to freshwater plants is an emerging field of palaeontology. Hydrophytic plants reveal evolutionary trends of their own, clearly distinct from those of the terrestrial and marine flora.

Acclimation to different depths by the marine angiosperm Posidonia oceanica: transcriptomic and proteomic profiles [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
For seagrasses, seasonal and daily variations in light and temperature represent the mains factors driving their distribution along the bathymetric cline. Changes in these environmental factors, due to climatic and anthropogenic effects, can compromise their survival.

Surface microplastics on Cymodocea nodosa and Ruppia maritima leaves: a study in Vravrona Wetland, Greece

Journal of Biological Research - Thessaloniki
This study investigates the seasonal accumulation of microplastics on the leaves of two marine angiosperms – Cymodocea nodosa and Ruppia maritima – in the Vravrona Wetland, Greece.

Range‐wide population genetic structure of the Caribbean marine angiosperm Thalassia testudinum [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2018
AbstractMany marine species have widespread geographic ranges derived from their evolutionary and ecological history particularly their modes of dispersal. Seagrass (marine angiosperm) species have ranges that are unusually widespread, which is not unexpected following recent reviews of reproductive strategies demonstrating the potential for long ...

Microbial communities in sediment from Zostera marina patches, but not the Z. marina leaf or root microbiomes, vary in relation to distance from patch edge [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Background Zostera marina (also known as eelgrass) is a foundation species in coastal and marine ecosystems worldwide and is a model for studies of seagrasses (a paraphyletic group in the order Alismatales) that include all the known fully submerged ...

Strong Genetic Structure and Limited Gene Flow among Populations of the Tropical Seagrass Thalassia hemprichii in the Philippines

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Seagrasses are marine angiosperms, and seagrass beds maintain the species diversity of tropical and subtropical coastal ecosystems. For proper understanding, management and conservation of coastal ecosystems, it is essential to understand seagrass ...

Updated extinction risk of seagrass species in the Tropical Atlantic Bioregion

Frontiers in Conservation Science
Seagrasses can form vast meadows in coastal areas and provide valuable ecosystem services. Despite their importance, seagrasses are threatened, and their spatial extent and ecological condition have declined worldwide.

Seagrass species diversity in Tanzania based on morphological and molecular data

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Seagrass diversity along the Tanzanian coast has been documented mainly through morphology, with limited molecular reference data available for Tanzania and the wider Western Indian Ocean. This study combined morphological identification with nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and plastid ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase
