Up, Down, and All Around: Courtship Behavior Deviants and Genetic Divergence in the Reef-Dwelling Bioluminescent Ostracod, <i>Photeros annecohenae</i> (Myodocopida: Cypridinidae). [PDF]
Species that have complex courtship behaviors are some of the most evolutionarily diverse lineages observed in nature. Here, we quantify differences in the courtship behavior, morphology, and genetics of a group of bioluminescent marine ostracod residents of the Mesoamerican barrier reef of Belize.

Marine Seagrass Extract of Thalassia testudinum Suppresses Colorectal Tumor Growth, Motility and Angiogenesis by Autophagic Stress and Immunogenic Cell Death Pathways. [PDF]
Marine plants have become an inexhaustible reservoir of new phytopharmaceuticals for cancer treatment. We demonstrate in vitro/in vivo antitumor efficacy of a standardized polyphenol extract from the marine angiosperm Thalassia testudinum (TTE) in colon ...

Thalassia testudinum has undergone die-offs in the past century due to seagrass wasting disease caused by Labyrinthula sp. Little is known about how seagrasses resist Labyrinthula infections, but metabolites that inhibit Labyrinthula were previously ...

Spatial Patterns of Thalassia testudinum Immune Status and Labyrinthula spp. Load Implicate Environmental Quality and History as Modulators of Defense Strategies and Wasting Disease in Florida Bay, United States. [PDF]
Seagrass wasting disease, caused by protists of the genus Labyrinthula, is an important stressor of the dominant macrophyte in Florida Bay (FB), United States, Thalassia testudinum.

Pathogenicity and phylogeny of Labyrinthula spp. isolated in Washington and Oregon, USA. [PDF]
Abstract The class Labyrinthulomycetes constitutes a multitude of species found ubiquitously in the environment, and includes pathogens of corals, hard clams, turfgrasses, and seagrasses. Labyrinthula zosterae, the causative agent of seagrass wasting disease, has been associated with declines in seagrass coverage since the 1930s.

Carbon acquisition mechanisms in Halophila johnsonii and Thalassia testudinum
Abstract Mechanisms for carbon uptake in the small-bodied Halophila johnsonii and large-bodied Thalassia testudinum were compared using photosynthesis measurements (oxygen flux) with, and without, the extracellular carbonic anhydrase inhibitor acetazolamide (AZ) and TRIS buffer. Our results indicated T. testudinum and H.

Discovery of a novel potexvirus in the seagrass Thalassia testudinum from Tampa Bay, Florida
Seagrass meadows are important coastal ecosystems that are declining worldwide. Given the profound impact of the microbiome on plant health, exploration of the seagrass microbiome is critical for proper ecosystem management and conservation.
