Response of Early Life‐Stages of Forest‐Forming Seaweeds From Warm‐Edge and Central Populations to Marine Heatwaves [PDF]
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) pose a threat to global marine forests, with the effects of warming potentially being even greater on early life stages, which are often understudied. We evaluated the responses of Phyllospora comosa—one of the most crucial forest‐forming seaweeds in South‐eastern Australia—early life stages from warm‐edge and central ...

Updated extinction risk of seagrass species in the Tropical Atlantic Bioregion
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.

THE ECOLOGY OF MUTUALISM [PDF]
Elementary ecology texts tell us that organisms interact in three fundamen tal ways, generally given the names competition, predation, and mutualism. The third member has gotten short shrift (264), and even its name is not generally agreed on.

Coordination of Foliar and Wood Anatomical Traits Contributes to Tropical Tree Distributions and Productivity along the Malay-Thai Peninsula [PDF]
Drought is a critical factor in plant species distributions. Much research points to its relevance even in moist tropical regions. Recent studies have begun to elucidate mechanisms underlying the distributions of tropical tree species with respect to ...

Large palynological collections have been built over decades and contain vital information. However, they are often difficult to access and use effectively. What is the point of having such collections if they are not fully utilizable? To solve this problem, we digitized the Smithsonian palynological collection using both light and confocal microscopy.

Eocene–early Oligocene climate and vegetation change in southern China: Evidence from the Maoming Basin [PDF]
Although the Eocene-Oligocene climate transition marks a critical point in the development of the ‘icehouse’ global climate of the present little is known about this important change in the terrestrial realm at low latitudes.

Updated Chorotypes of Terrestrial Vertebrates Shed New Light on Zoogeographical Regions in China
Chorotype represents a fundamental concept for identifying groups of species that share similar distribution patterns. However, the last comprehensive revision of animal chorotypes in China was performed more than a decade ago. Here, we update the chorotype classifications for 1040 species and propose an updated zoogeographical regionalization scheme ...

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

Back to the sea twice: identifying candidate plant genes for molecular evolution to marine life
Background Seagrasses are a polyphyletic group of monocotyledonous angiosperms that have adapted to a completely submerged lifestyle in marine waters. Here, we exploit two collections of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of two wide-spread and ecologically ...

Genetic identification and hybridization in the seagrass genus Halophila (Hydrocharitaceae) in Sri Lankan waters [PDF]
Seagrasses, as marine angiosperms, play important roles in coastal ecosystems. With increasing anthropogenic impacts, they are facing dramatic declines on a global scale.
