Microbiome-assisted restoration of degraded marine habitats: a new nature-based solution?
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Microorganisms interact with all biological components in a variety of ways. They contribute to increase the efficiency of marine food webs and facilitate the adaptation of multicellular organisms to climate change and other human-induced impacts ...

Local competition and metapopulation processes drive long-term seagrass-epiphyte population dynamics [PDF]
, 2013 It is well known that ecological processes such as population regulation and natural enemy interactions potentially occur over a range of spatial scales, and there is a substantial body of literature developing theoretical understanding of the interplay ...

The Effects of Non-Indigenous Macrophytes on Native Biodiversity: Case Studies from Sicily
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Biological invasions are widely recognized as a major threat to native biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and services. Non-indigenous species (NIS) may in time become invasive (invasive alien species (IAS)), determining significant environmental ...

Local Knowledge and Conservation of Seagrasses in the Tamil Nadu State of India
Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine, 2011 Local knowledge systems are not considered in the conservation of fragile seagrass marine ecosystems. In fact, little is known about the utility of seagrasses in local coastal communities.

Bioprospecting of Marine Macrophytes Using MS-Based Lipidomics as a New Approach
Marine Drugs, 2016 The marine environment supports a remarkable diversity of organisms which are a potential source of natural products with biological activities. These organisms include a wide variety of marine plants (from micro- to macrophytes), which have been used in
