Shifts in biodiversity and physical structure of seagrass beds across 5 decades at Carriacou, Grenadines. [PDF]
Caribbean seagrass beds are facing increasing anthropogenic stress, yet comprehensive ground-level monitoring programs that capture the structure of seagrass communities before the 1980s are rare. We measured the distribution of seagrass beds and species

Altered juvenile fish communities associated with invasive Halophila stipulacea seagrass habitats in the U.S. Virgin Islands. [PDF]
Caribbean seagrass habitats provide food and protection for reef-associated juvenile fish. The invasive seagrass Halophila stipulacea is rapidly altering these seascapes. Since its arrival in the Caribbean in 2002, H.

Expanding our food supply: underutilized resources and resilient processing technologies. [PDF]
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

Response and recovery dynamics of seagrasses Thalassia testudinum and Syringodium filiforme and macroalgae in experimental motor vessel disturbances [PDF]
Shallow seagrass beds worldwide are being negatively impacted by human activities. Damage by boats includes anchor scars, propeller scars, and hull groundings. In some Thalassia testudinum-dominated systems, vessel damage may persist for years or decades, and even small scars may leave seagrass habitat susceptible to severe erosion by wind and wave ...

Seagrass epiphyte blooms potentially have important economic and ecological consequences in Tampa Bay, one of the Gulf of Mexico`s largest estuaries. As part of a Tampa Bay pilot study to monitor the impact of environmental stresses, precise characterization of epiphyte diversity is required for efficient management of affected resources.

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 ...

The effects of severe shading on soluble carbohydrate content of blades and rhizomes of Syringodium filiforme growing in the Indian River Lagoon, Florida, were investigated. We used plants that were connected to unshaded neighbors and plants that were isolated from neighbors by severing their rhizome connections.

Tamaño inusual de Syringodium filiforme (Cymodoceaceae, Tracheophyta) al norte de Villa Clara, Cuba
Se detectó la presencia de un parche de Syringodium filiforme con una longitud inusual en las hojas y el rizoma vertical. Se presentan las mediciones realizadas en una muestra, que arrojó una longitud de la hoja entre 7.8 y 69 cm y se compara con los ...
