Population structure and gene flow of the tropical seagrass, Syringodium filiforme, in the Florida Keys and subtropical Atlantic region [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Evaluating genetic diversity of seagrasses provides insight into reproductive mode and adaptation potential, and is therefore integral to broader conservation strategies for coastal ecosystems.

Development of Microsatellite Markers for a Tropical Seagrass, Syringodium filiforme (Cymodoceaceae) [PDF]
Applications in Plant Sciences, 2014 Premise of the study: A total of 17 polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed for the tropical Atlantic seagrass Syringodium filiforme (Cymodoceaceae), enabling analysis of population genetic structure in this species for the first time. Methods

Longitudinal survey of lead, cadmium, and copper in seagrass Syringodium filiforme from a former bombing range (Vieques, Puerto Rico) [PDF]
Toxicology Reports, 2018 Trace element composition in plant biomass could be used as an indicator of environmental stress, management practices and restoration success. A longitudinal study was conducted to compare Pb, Cd, and Cu content in seagrass Syringodium filiforme ...

Nutrient Enrichment Increases Blue Carbon Potential of Subtropical Seagrass Beds. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolSeagrass beds have tremendous potential to mitigate climate change because their high rates of primary production bury large amounts of carbon. They are also globally threatened by nutrient pollution, and thus, realizing this potential requires understanding how this stressor affects carbon burial.

Efecto antioxidante y contenido polifenólico de Syringodium filiforme (Cymodoceaceae)
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2011 Antioxidant effect and polyphenol content of Syringodium filiforme (Cymodoceaceae). 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

Apical dominance and the importance of clonal integration to apical growth in the seagrass Syringodium filiforme [PDF]
Marine Ecology - Progress Series, 2008 The existence of apical dominance and the importance of clonal integration to apical growth in the seagrass Syringodium filiforme were examined using field and mesocosm experiments. In the field, apical dominance was observed with proliferative branching resulting from the removal of rhizome apical meristems (RAMs).

The Microbial Communities of Leaves and Roots Associated with Turtle Grass (Thalassia testudinum) and Manatee Grass (Syringodium filliforme) are Distinct from Seawater and Sediment Communities, but Are Similar between Species and Sampling Sites [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2018 Seagrasses are vital members of coastal systems, which provide several important ecosystem services such as improvement of water quality, shoreline protection, and serving as shelter, food, and nursery to many species, including economically important ...

Dispersal, kin aggregation, and the fitness consequences of not spreading sibling larvae. [PDF]
Ecology, 2023 Abstract Dispersal has far‐reaching implications for individuals, populations, and communities, especially in sessile organisms. Escaping competition with conspecifics and with kin are theorized to be key factors leading to dispersal as an adaptation. However, manipulative approaches in systems in which adults are sessile but offspring have behaviors ...

Effects of physiological integration on the survival and growth of ramets and clonal fragments in the seagrass Syringodium filiforme [PDF]
Marine Ecology - Progress Series, 2008 Mesocosm experiments examined the importance of clonal integration to the growth of Syringodium filiforme ramets (short shoots with their associated section of rhizome and roots) and clonal fragments. High mortality and reduced growth following isolation from parent clones indi- cated that young ramets are dependent on clonal integration for survival ...
