Invertebrate Grazing on Live Turtlegrass (Thalassia testudinum): A Common Interaction That May Facilitate Fungal Growth

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
In coastal wetlands and tropical reefs, snails can regulate foundation species by feeding on marsh grasses and hard corals. In many cases, their impacts are amplified because they facilitate microbial infection in grazer-induced wounds.

Inter-seasonal comparison of acoustic propagation in a Thalassia testudinum seagrass meadow in a shallow sub-tropical lagoon.

JASA Express Letters, 2023
Acoustic propagation measurements were collected in a seagrass meadow in a shallow lagoon for periods of over 65 h in winter and 93 h in summer. A bottom-deployed sound source transmitted chirps (0.1-100 kHz) every 10 min that were received on a four ...

Nutrient Enrichment Increases Blue Carbon Potential of Subtropical Seagrass Beds. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Seagrass 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.

Effects of community structure on the seagrass Thalassia testudinum [PDF]

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1999
The influence of community structure on the seagrass Thalassia testudinum was studied in 3 distinct communities low and high density monocultures, and patches intermixed with Halodule wrightii, in Cockroach Bay, Tampa, Florida. T. testudinum shoot-specific leaf mass and growth were significantly higher in low density monocultures, and both variables ...

Temperature Drives Seagrass Recovery Across the Western North Atlantic. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
In this study, we used field experiments across 23° of latitude (from Bermuda to Panama) to investigate how important climate change drivers impact the recovery rates of turtlegrass, a widespread marine plant. We found that both global (temperature) and local (grazing and nutrients) drivers affect seagrass recovery rates and thus resilience.

Nitrogen Fixation in Subtropical Seagrass Sediments: Seasonal Patterns in Activity in Santa Rosa Sound, Florida, USA

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Seagrass beds are important coastal habitats that are diminishing globally. Nitrogen, a key nutrient, often limits seagrass growth. Nitrogen fixation provides new, bioavailable nitrogen to the plants.

Experimental evidence of pollination in marine flowers by invertebrate fauna

Nature Communications, 2016
Marine plants reproduce by hydrophilly, that is, the movement of pollen by water. Here, the authors show that invertebrates can also carry pollen from male to female Thalassia testudinum plants.

Fruit development in the seagrass Thalassia testudinum: Possible relationships between structure, physiology and defense

, 2021
Even though seagrasses are clonal plants, they also invest substantial energy in sexual reproduction. However, little is known about the development of the reproductive structures of seagrasses and their complex interactions with ambient conditions. Here,
