SeagrassTraitDB: a seagrasses traits database

, 2022
Seagrasses are the only monocotyledonous flowering plants (angiosperms) which grow in marine environments. Seagrasses are found from shallow salty to brackish waters and inhabit environments from the tropics to the Arctic.

Role of funders in embedding tests in conservation practice

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Effective conservation practice requires decisions based on reliable and relevant evidence, but significant gaps in the evidence base exist. Incorporating well‐designed tests of the effectiveness of interventions for biodiversity in conservation projects is one of the best ways to scale up the rate of evidence generation.

Twelve principles for successful governance of community‐based coastal marine restoration

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Global agreements, such as the Global Biodiversity Framework, call for urgent, large‐scale action to halt biodiversity loss through a whole‐of‐society approach. Community‐based restoration can play a crucial role in achieving this goal, yet there remains limited understanding of what makes these projects effective and sustainable.

Marine epiphytic diatoms: a review of environmental controls and ecosystem roles

Frontiers in Marine Science
Epiphytic diatom assemblages constitute a crucial component of coastal microbenthic ecosystems, yet they remain underexplored compared to other microbenthic organisms.

Marine rewilding principles as a guiding framework for large‐scale ecosystem restoration

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
As marine ecosystems face accelerating degradation from human pressures, interest is growing in approaches that move beyond protection toward active recovery of ecological processes. This article introduces marine rewilding as a forward‐looking framework and synthesizes ecological and social science to develop eight transdisciplinary principles that ...

Seagrasses in Port Curtis and Rodds Bay 2016: annual long-term monitoring [PDF]

, 2017
In 2016, seagrasses in Port Curtis and Rodds Bay remained in an overall poor condition. The results for individual meadows and regions however, were mixed, with some meadows improving in condition and others declining since 2015.

Temperature, but not acidification, influences the growth and lipid profile of juvenile sand whiting, Sillago ciliata (Cuvier 1829)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Seafood provides an essential source of macro‐ and micronutrients for coastal communities worldwide. Climate change is a key threat to seafood security, altering the sizes, abundances, distributions, physiology and ecological interactions of fisheries species, and increasingly, there is evidence of impacts to seafood nutritional quality.

Leaf reddening in seagrasses

, 2010
Leaf reddening is well documented in terrestrial angiosperms, but has rarely been reported in seagrasses. In a survey of the world\u27s six seagrass bioregions, we documented leaf reddening in 12 seagrass species from intertidal and shallow subtidal ...
