Biomasa y densidad de dos especies de pastos marinos en el sur de Quintana Roo, México

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2000
La biomasa y productividad de una comunidad de pastos marinos es útil para determinar el estado ecológico de la costa. Se comparó la biomasa foliar y la densidad de vainas en praderas de Thalassia testudinum Banks & Sol. ex K. D. Koenig, en dos ambientes

Restoring Halodule uninervis: evaluating planting methods and biodiversity

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 3, March 2025.
Seagrass provides a crucial habitat for numerous marine species and serves as a vital food source for endangered species, like dugongs. While extensive research on restoration has been conducted on certain temperate and slow‐growing climax seagrass species, limited attention has been given to tropical pioneer species.

Growth patterns and demography of pioneer Caribbean seagrasses Halodule wrightii and Syringodium filiforme

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1994
The shoot demography and rhizome growth of Syringodium filiforme Kutz. and Halodule wrightii Aschers. were studied, based on plant dating techniques, to account for their role as pioneer in the succession sequence of Canbbean seagrasses. Results demonstrated that these species are able to develop dense meadows, supporting biomasses in excess of 500 g ...

Assessment of Food Sources for Juvenile and Adult Penaeus monodon in Tanzania Coastal Waters

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 1, February 2025.
ABSTRACT To investigate the food sources for juvenile and adult Penaeus monodon and reconstruct its diet, samples of potential food sources were collected from the nursery areas of Kondo, Mbegani and Kitame, as well as from the fishing grounds of Mwambakuni and Saadani, located in the Bagamoyo coastal waters of Tanzania in the Western Indian Ocean. The

Bacterial associations in seagrass ecosystems: A systematic review of microbial diversity and ecological roles [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Seagrasses are important marine plants that support coastal ecosystems, yet their bacterial associations remain insufficiently explored. This bibliometric study and meta-analysis examine bacterial communities associated with seagrass species, focusing on

Explaining the divergence of population trajectories for two interacting waterfowl species

Ecological Monographs, Volume 95, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Identifying the specific environmental features and associated density‐dependent processes that limit population growth is central to both ecology and conservation. Comparative assessments of sympatric species allow for inference about how ecologically similar species differentially respond to their shared environment, which can be used to ...

[Antioxidant effect and polyphenol content of Syringodium filiforme (Cymodoceaceae)].

Revista de biologia tropical, 2011
The marine phanerogam Syringodium filiforme, known as "manatee grass", is a common species that grows in coastal areas associated to Thalassia testudinum. With the aim to describe some of its possible chemical characteristics, this study was performed with a sample of 1.2 kg, collected in March 2009, in Guanabo beach, Havana, Cuba. The sample was dried

Expanding our food supply: underutilized resources and resilient processing technologies

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 105, Issue 2, Page 735-746, 30 January 2025.
Abstract Many underutilized food resources have been traditionally used by regional and poor communities. The history of their consumption makes them potential new food sources for incorporation into the wider food supply. The ability to tap the potential of undervalued and underutilized food sources will reduce the world's reliance on a limited number
