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

The accumulation of dead leaves from the Mediterranean seagrass Posidonia oceanica on beaches is a natural process that results in the formation of banquettes and, in some areas, spherical debris known as aegagropiles.

Exotic Halophila stipulacea is an introduced carbon sink for the Eastern Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
Carbon and nitrogen storage in exotic Halophila stipulacea were compared to that in native Posidonia oceanica and Cymodocea nodosa meadows and adjacent unvegetated sediments of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and to that in native H.

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 ...

Biological Effect of Posidonia oceanica Seaweed on Some Pathogenic Microbes
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 ...

Spread and Population Dynamics of Rugulopteryx okamurae Across the Azores Archipelago (NE Atlantic)
ABSTRACT Rugulopteryx okamurae is a recently introduced brown macroalga that has expanded rapidly across the Azores (NE Atlantic). This study provides an update of the archipelago‐wide spatial spread and the first assessment of its local population dynamics.

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 ...
