Comparative analysis of mitochondrial genomes reveals marine adaptation in seagrasses

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Seagrasses are higher marine flowering plants that evolved from terrestrial plants, but returned to the sea during the early evolution of monocotyledons through several separate lineages.

Dissolved Oxygen in Heterogeneous Environments Dictates the Metabolic Rate and Thermal Sensitivity of a Tropical Aquatic Crab

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Oxygen availability, together with water temperature, greatly varies in coastal habitats, especially in those characterized by elevated primary production. In this study, we investigate the combined role of dissolved oxygen and temperature on the thermal

The movement ecology of seagrasses [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014
A movement ecology framework is applied to enhance our understanding of the causes, mechanisms and consequences of movement in seagrasses: marine, clonal, flowering plants. Four life-history stages of seagrasses can move: pollen, sexual propagules, vegetative fragments and the spread of individuals through clonal growth.

A Review of Factors Influencing the Seagrass-Sea Cucumber Association in Tropical Seagrass Meadows

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
In the tropical ecosystem, sea cucumbers are associated with seagrass meadows in various ways, often forming a network of ecological interactions. From this myriad of interactions, the trophic relationship between the seagrasses and sea cucumbers has ...

Interactions between seagrasses and seaweeds during surge nitrogen acquisition determine interspecific competition [PDF]

, 2017
Seagrasses dominate shallow coastal environments where nitrogen (N) availability in the water column is often sporadic and mainly in the form of pulses.

Short-Term Response of Cytosolic NO3− to Inorganic Carbon Increase in Posidonia oceanica Leaf Cells

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased over the past 200 years and is expected to continue rising in the next 50 years at a rate of 3 ppm·year−1.

Low Long Terminal Repeat (LTR)-Retrotransposon Expression in Leaves of the Marine Phanerogam Posidonia Oceanica L.

Life, 2020
Seagrasses as Posidonia oceanica reproduce mostly by vegetative propagation, which can reduce genetic variability within populations. Since, in clonally propagated species, insurgence of genetic variability can be determined by the activity of ...

Molluscs from Tidal Channels of the Gulf of Gabès (Tunisia): Quantitative Data and Comparison with Other Lagoons and Coastal Waters of the Mediterranean Sea

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
The present study analyses the spatio-temporal structuration of the molluscan fauna from four tidal channels of the Gulf of Gabès. A total of 26 stations were sampled at four seasons from March 2016 to January 2017, leading to the identification of 2695 ...

How seagrasses secure our coastlines

, 2019
Seagrass meadows are hidden underwater grass fields that protect the coast and offer shelter to many sea creatures. Seagrasses are flowering plants that evolved from the land back to the sea, and they now occupy the sea bottom in shallow waters along the
