Location and associated carbon storage of erosional escarpments of seagrass Posidonia mats [PDF]
, 2016 Seagrasses of the genus Posidonia can form an irregular seascape due to erosional processes exposing thick walls of organic matter-rich soils. However, little is known about the location and characteristics of these particular formations. Here we provide

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.

Biological Effect of Posidonia oceanica Seaweed on Some Pathogenic Microbes
مجلة المختار للعلوم, 2020 Compared to other coasts, Libyan coasts are characterized by low levels of pollution. This makes them a suitable environment for marine diversity, especially seaweeds, which may be considered a source of new compounds that are biologically active in ...

Posidonia oceanicameadows as sponge spicule traps [PDF]
Italian Journal of Zoology, 2012 Abstract A quantitative study on the sponge spicules present in a series of horizontal core samples, taken at different levels, from a 1.5 m thick living matte within the Posidonia oceanica meadow of Prelo Bay (Eastern Ligurian Sea), has been performed. Sponge spicule amounts were evaluated by microscopical and chemical analyses.

A novel single‐cell NAD‐ME C4 subtype integrated with CAM and bicarbonate use in an aquatic plant
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2386-2401, March 2026.Summary Many plants maximize photosynthesis by using a CO2‐concentrating mechanism (CCM). Based on physiology, the freshwater plant Ottelia alismoides has three CCMs: C4 metabolism (NAD‐malic enzyme (NAD‐ME) subtype) and bicarbonate‐use during the day plus crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) at night and lacks Kranz anatomy. Here, we combined a range of

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.We describe Salmacina stellaebayensis n. sp. from Mauritania's Baie de l'Étoile and provide the first complete mitochondrial genome for the genus Salmacina. The species forms distinctive macroid colonies in Cymodocea nodosa seagrass meadows, offering new insights into serpulid life history and habitat specialization.

Scientia Marina, 2010 A two-year study focusing on the associated polychaete assemblages revealed that the degradation of the Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows, together with the colonisation of rhizomes by invasive Caulerpa racemosa in the Balearic Islands, have produced ...

Life, 2020 Seagrasses as Posidonia oceanica reproduce mostly by vegetative propagation, which can reduce genetic variability within populations. Since, in clonally propagated species, insurgence of genetic variability can be determined by the activity of ...

Use of seagrass fibres in adobe bricks [PDF]
, 2019 The main aim of the present study is to measure the capability the 'Posidonia Oceanica' as fibre reinforcement for adobe bricks. This sea-plant is distributed in the Mediterranean coast, considered as a solid marine by-product. To analyse the performance,

Selection for Function in Complex Distributed Pathological Systems
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Pathological processes are often conceptualized as localized phenomena anchored in a primary tumor, a focal lesion, or a single organ. However, growing evidence indicates that many diseases persist and progress as complex distributed systems, maintained by interactions among multiple sites.
