Early life history of the Korean seahorse, Hippocampus haema: Evidence for direct settlement and ontogenetic shifts in snout morphology

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Early life‐history traits of seahorses are closely linked to juvenile survival, dispersal potential and the onset of substrate attachment; however, detailed stage‐resolved descriptions remain limited for many Hippocampus species. This study examined reproductive behaviour and early ontogenetic development of the Korean seahorse, Hippocampus ...

The role of microbiome and melatonin priming on seagrass (Cymodocea nodosa) seed germination and plant development [PDF]

reservedSeagrasses are vital marine angiosperms that form extensive underwater meadows, providing numerous ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, coastal protection, and serving as critical habitats for diverse marine species.

Complete organellar genomes of Cystophora brownii: Insights into mitochondrial and plastid structure and evolution in brown algae

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cystophora (order Fucales) is one of the most diverse genera of habitat‐forming brown algae and is endemic to temperate reefs of Australia and New Zealand. Species in this genus form complex habitat structures that support diverse marine communities and contribute to coastal productivity. However, Cystophora spp.

Developing a model for tropical seagrass light requirements in a turbid port environment [PDF]

, 2010
In Australian coastal waters and embayments, tropical seagrasses are often subject to dynamic light environments as naturally turbid waters and large tidal flux create periods of extreme high and low light over relatively short time scales (i.e.

Optimising Seagrass Conservation for Ecological Functions [PDF]

, 2019
Animals are central to numerous ecological processes that shape the structure and function of ecosystems. It follows that species that are strongly linked to specific functions can represent these functions spatially and hence be useful in conservation ...

Dinoflagellate responses to nutrients and mangrove leaf organic matter in the bioluminescent Mangrove Lagoon, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bioluminescent bays (biobays) are uncommon coastal ecosystems featuring dense populations of dinoflagellates, often found in mangrove‐ringed lagoons with long water retention times and high organic matter (OM) levels. Although mangroves are associated with high dinoflagellate abundance, it remains uncertain how inorganic nutrients compare with

Megaherbivory is a major force driving seagrass structure on the Great Barrier Reef [PDF]

Herbivory is a key mechanism controlling seagrass ecosystem stability, function and diversity globally. Tropical seagrass ecosystems are susceptible to large scale grazing from megaherbivores (turtles and dugongs), but research on the impact of grazing ...

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

Improvement of Seagrass Habitat Mapping Using Integration of Habitat Suitability Model and Seafloor Classification Map

Asian Fisheries Science
Acoustic datasets offer considerable advantages in high-resolution seagrass habitat mapping applications. However, the nature of seafloor features for seagrass habitat on a habitat suitability model (HSM) is limited due to single–species output ...

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.
