Biogeochemical and physical feedbacks are well known to prevent ecosystem recovery even after initial disturbance factors are mitigated. However, multi‐trophic interactions that may maintain disturbed areas have received less attention, despite their potential importance in mediating restoration success. In this study, we surveyed stingray feeding pits

Abstract Deterioration of seagrass beds worldwide has raised concern about the future of dugongs because almost all aspects of their life history depend on availability of seagrass. Understanding their energy metabolism and consequently how much seagrass they need will inform protective conservation strategies for dugongs. This study determined resting

La ecología trófica de cuatro especies de peces dominantes (Sphoeroides testudineus, Cathorops melanopus, Archosargus rhomboidalis y Cichlasoma urophthalmus) en una zona de vegetación acuática sumergida (Thalassia testudinum, Syringodium filiforme y ...

Explaining the divergence of population trajectories for two interacting waterfowl species
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). 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

Utilization of Algal Turf Scrubber Biomass in Sea Urchin (Lytechinus variegatus) Diets
This study evaluated the growth indices in sea urchins fed varying levels of algal turf scrubber (ATS) biomass for the partial replacement of dietary menhaden fishmeal. Juvenile Lytechinus variegatus were fed four formulated diets with differentiating levels of ATS biomass (10%, 10%, 20%, and 50%).

Leaf growth of the seagrass Syringodium filiforme in outer Florida Bay, Florida
Leaf growth of the seagrass Syringodium filiforme (Kütz., 1860) was determined using a new technique based on the growth of emergent leaves (EL method) and compared to the more labor intensive repeated measurements (RM) and demographic allometric age reconstruction techniques (DA).

Seasonal variability and seagrass traits affect methane fluxes in a subtropical meadow
These results indicate that within‐species more so than between‐species trait variability drives the direction and magnitude of CH4 fluxes in seagrass meadows. The authors identified a trade‐off where seagrass biomass is often associated with enhanced sediment carbon storage, but in this study, plant size promoted CH4 production, potentially offsetting

Seagrass beds provide essential habitat for many fish species. This study utilized over a decade (2009 to 2022) of annual seagrass monitoring data to investigate trends in seagrass composition with the introduction of the non-native species, Halophila ...
