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 ...

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.

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

Rhizosphere microbiomes of European seagrasses are selected by the plant, but are not species specific

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Seagrasses are marine flowering plants growing in soft-body sediments of intertidal and shallow sub-tidal zones. They play an important role in coastal ecosystems by stabilizing sediments, providing food and shelter for animals, and recycling nutrients ...

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.

Sulfide intrusion in seagrasses assessed by stable sulfur isotopes – A synthesis of current results

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2014
Sulfide intrusion in seagrasses, as assessed by stable sulfur isotope signals, is widespread in all climate zones, where seagrasses are growing. Seagrasses can incorporate substantial amounts of 34S-depleted sulfide into their tissues with up to 87% of ...

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.

Ecotype-Specific and Correlated Seasonal Responses of Biomass Production, Non-Structural Carbohydrates, and Fatty Acids in Zostera marina

Plants
Seagrasses, which are marine flowering plants, provide numerous ecological services and goods. Zostera marina is the most widely distributed seagrass in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, tolerant of a wide range of environmental conditions ...

Which attributes of restored oyster reefs provide the best habitat for sportfish?

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoration practitioners seek to restore oyster ecosystems as habitat designed for species targeted by recreational fisheries, but they require information on which specific habitat parameters of oyster reefs are preferred by fish.

Hydrological restoration of coastal wetlands: optimizing site selection and implementation strategies

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coastal wetlands, despite their importance in providing ecosystem services like carbon sequestration, water quality improvement, and coastal protection, have suffered extensive degradation and loss in the past two centuries. Hydrological restoration of these degraded ecosystems presents an emerging opportunity for mitigating and ...
