Growth Patterns of Shoal Grass Halodule wrightii and Manatee Grass Syringodium filiforme in the Western Gulf of Mexico

Gulf and Caribbean Research, 2010
IntroductIon Seagrass beds are a valuable resource because of the numerous roles they play in coastal systems. Seagrass blades provide habitat for abundant micro– and macro–algal communities, which in conjunction with the seagrass, contribute substantially to primary productivity in estuarine systems (Heck and Valentine 2006).

Updated extinction risk of seagrass species in the Tropical Atlantic Bioregion

Frontiers in Conservation Science
Seagrasses can form vast meadows in coastal areas and provide valuable ecosystem services. Despite their importance, seagrasses are threatened, and their spatial extent and ecological condition have declined worldwide.

Orientation of larval and juvenile horseshoe crabs Limulus polyphemus to visual cues: Effects of chemical odors

Current Zoology, 2010
Adult horseshoe crabs Limulus polyphemus have long served as models for the study of vision in marine arthropods. Yet, little is known about the ability of early life history stages to detect and respond to visual cues.
