Endophytic bacterial community of a Mediterranean marine angiosperm (Posidonia oceanica)

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012
Bacterial endophytes are crucial for the survival of many terrestrial plants, but little is known about the presence and importance of bacterial endophytes of marine plants.

Evolutionary legacies structure the geography of seagrass traits across the world's oceans

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Traits modulate species' ability to track shifts in climate, yet the extent to which traits have been shaped by the contemporary environment and/or historical processes remains poorly understood. Here, we fill this gap for the world's seagrasses, habitat‐forming species that provide critical ecosystem services.

Thermal Stress Is Associated With Fragmentation of Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica Meadows

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
By combining a physiological model of cumulative thermal stress with AI‐based seagrass mapping, we show that chronic sublethal warming is associated with fragmentation of Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica meadows and increased regression risk by 2100. ABSTRACT Posidonia oceanica meadows, which underpin Mediterranean coastal ecosystems, are undergoing ...

Monitoring the Colonisation Dynamics of Rugulopteryx okamurae on Algal Communities in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss, causing profound and often irreversible ecological changes. Among these invaders, the brown alga Rugulopteryx okamurae provides a striking example. Since its arrival in 2016 in Calanques National Park (Marseille, southern France), it has drastically transformed underwater landscapes

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 ...

Assessing the Contribution of Posidonia oceanica to Mediterranean Secondary Production Through Stable Isotope Analysis

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The role of seagrasses in providing a complex habitat for marine organisms is globally documented; however, few studies have investigated the trophic incorporation of endemic Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica into marine food webs. Meadows of P.

Subsurface Ventilation Processes in a Wind‐Driven Coastal System: Insights From the Gulf of Oristano (Italy)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract High‐resolution, year‐long observations (2023–2024) were conducted in the Gulf of Oristano, a shallow semi‐enclosed basin on the western coast of Sardinia, to address the scarcity of sustained in situ measurements resolving sub‐seasonal coastal processes in the Mediterranean.

eDNA signals improve local predictions of fish abundances in Mediterranean coastal ecosystems

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study demonstrates that integrating eDNA metabarcoding data into species distribution models can improve fish abundance predictions, especially for site‐attached and reef‐associated species. This approach provides a scalable and cost‐effective tool for monitoring, impact assessment, spatial planning and adaptive management of marine resources ...

Feeding preferences of amphipod crustaceans Ampithoe ramondi and Gammarella fucicola for Posidonia oceanica seeds and leaves

Scientia Marina, 2019
The functional importance of herbivory in seagrass beds is highly variable among systems. In Mediterranean seagrass meadows, macroherbivores, such as the fish Sarpa salpa and the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus, have received most research attention, so

Epiphytic hydroids on Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows are winner organisms under future ocean acidification conditions: evidence from a CO2 vent system (Ischia Island, Italy)

The European Zoological Journal, 2021
Effects of ocean acidification (OA) on the plant phenology and colonization/settlement pattern of the hydrozoan epibiont community of the leaves of the seagrass Posidonia oceanica have been studied at volcanic CO2 vents off Ischia (Italy).
