Biogeomorphology of the Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows [PDF]
AbstractHere we review the multiple interactions between the endemic Mediterranean seagrass, Posidonia oceanica, and coastal geomorphologic processes as an outstanding example of biogeomorphology, taking into account recent advances in the field. Seagrass meadows are among the most important elements for the functioning of marine coastal ecosystems ...

Evolutionary and Ecological Trees and Networks [PDF]
Evolutionary relationships between species are usually represented in phylogenies, i.e. evolutionary trees, which are a type of networks. The terminal nodes of these trees represent species, which are made of individuals and populations among which gene ...

Ion channels in the vacuoles of the seagrassPosidonia oceanica [PDF]
Voltage‐dependent ionic channels were investigated by the patch‐clamp technique in the vacuolar membrane from the leaves of the seagrassPosidonia oceanica. Vacuoles extruded from the meristematic white part of the leaves displayed rectifying slow currents which activated in several seconds at positive potentials and deactivated at negative voltages ...

Natural Products from Marine Fungi
Marine fungi have been studied since the first record of the species Sphaeria posidoniae (Halotthia posidoniae) on the rhizome of the sea grass Posidonia oceanica by Durieu and Montagne in 1846 [...]

Distribution and status of Posidonia oceanica meadows on the North-Western coast of Algeria
Posidonia oceanica is an endemic species of the Mediterranean Sea that in pristine coastal waters forms extensive meadows, which are, actually, exposed to natural and anthropogenic pressures, causing their regression throughout the basin.

The light requirements for growth and photosynthesis in seagrasses with emphasis on Texas estuaries : a literature survey [PDF]
During the last 20 years, seagrass communities throughout the world have experienced decreased productivity and distribution. These declines have often been attributed to decreased water transparency as a result of turbidity or shading by epiphytic algae.

Ancient DNA in the seagrass Posidonia oceanica [PDF]
Posidonia oceanica is a seagrass endemic to the Mediterranean, characterized by low genetic polymorphism, with potential effects on its survival and expansion. In the last 2 decades, a progressive decline of P. oceanica meadows was recorded. This could derive either from intrinsic characteristics of the plant or from habitat fragmentation and isolation
