Flower morphometry of Rhizophora mangle (Rhizophoraceae): geographical variation in Mexican populations [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, 1998
We explored the patterns of intra‐ and interpopulation variation in flower morphology of the red mangrove, Rhizophora mangle. Twelve populations in Mexico were studied: five from the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, and seven from the Pacific Coast. Six metric floral attributes were measured from a sample of 1370 flowers.

Tree Weights of Avicennia germinans in Mangrove Ecosystems Along the Guyana Coastline

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Mangroves are known as highly functional and productive ecosystems despite the numerous human and environmental disturbances they face continuously. These disturbances are known to affect their ecosystem states as well as their biomass allocation in their roots, trunks, stems, and leaves.

Variation in the Adult Sex Ratio and Morphological Traits of Cardisoma guanhumi (Latreille, 1828) in Contrasting Habitats in the Southwest of the Gulf of Mexico

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
At a regional scale, we found a bias toward one sex according to the habitat and differences in weight and size between females and males. ABSTRACT The habitat and its environmental conditions, when optimal, influence the reproduction and survival of organisms, since they can have an impact on demographic parameters such as adult sex ratio (ASR ...

The Mitochondrial Genome of the Imperiled Goliath Grouper Epinephelus itajara: Selective Pressures in Protein Coding Genes, Secondary Structure of tRNA Genes, and Phylogenetic Placement

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
This study presents the complete mitochondrial genome of the critically endangered Goliath Grouper (Epinephelus itajara), totaling 16,561 bp and comprising 13 protein‐coding genes, 22 tRNAs, and two rRNAs. Genomic analysis revealed conserved gene order, A + T‐rich codon usage, and purifying selection across all protein‐coding genes, providing valuable ...

Spatial and Seasonal Variation of Species Richness and Biomass of Macroalgae (Rhodophyta) on Mangrove Roots on the Brazilian Amazon Coast

open access: yesMarine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
ABSTRACT Mangrove forests are a relevant coastal ecosystem, and Brazil holds the second‐largest mangrove area worldwide, with over two‐thirds of it located in the Amazon region. However, despite their singular environmental characteristics and ecological importance, macroalgal communities in Amazonian mangroves remain poorly understood. Therefore, this
