ABSTRACT In this study, we explored the population genetic structure and its relation to environmental adaptations of the dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus) in the western Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. Although previously two populations within the Mediterranean Sea were identified, recent evidence suggests more complex structuring.

The influence of planting distance on seagrass (Enhalus acoroides) seedling growth
Seagrass restoration practice of transplanting grown seagrass from a donor to the planting site is discovered to disrupt the existing ecosystems. An alternative method includesthe use of seedlings, which requires a protected germination environment to ...

Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline
Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.

Stability of seagrass systems against anthropogenic impacts
The study presented here examines which factors directly or indirectly connected to eutrophication, are relevant to the deterioration of seagrass populations in the Baltic Sea/Greifswalder Bodden. More particularly it is a study of the interaction effects of seagrass autotrophic competitors (epiphytic algae, drifting macroalgae and phytoplankton) on ...

Seagrass meadows are vital blue carbon ecosystems that protect shorelines, support biodiversity and store carbon, but they face accelerating losses from environmental change and human disturbance.

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.

Seagrasses can enhance nutrient mobilization in their rhizosphere via complex interactions with sediment redox conditions and microbial populations. Yet, limited knowledge exists on how seagrass-derived rhizosphere dynamics affect nitrogen cycling. Using

The root/rhizome system of seagrasses: an asset and a burden
Large-scale declines in seagrass vegetation have been frequently observed in recent decades. Many of these declines can be traced to the reduction of light levels in the water column. In this paper, it is argued that the root/rhizome system offers a competitive advantage in nutrient-poor waters, but that it makes the plant vulnerable when changes in ...

The influence of multiple stressors on the spatial distribution of corals
Abstract Coral reef ecosystems are widely threatened by global change, yet the cumulative impacts of multiple interacting stressors remain difficult to quantify over space and time. We evaluate how long‐term artisanal fishing effort, blast fishing, human population density and marine protected areas (MPAs) interact with biophysical and seascape ...
