Highlights in Seagrasses’ Phylogeny, Physiology, and Metabolism: What Makes Them Special? [PDF]
The marine seagrasses form an ecological and therefore paraphyletic group of marine hydrophilus angiosperms which evolved three to four times from land plants towards an aquatic and marine existence.

We assessed genotypic and genetic diversity in the submersed aquatic plant species Vallisneria americana in the Potomac River, USA, to understand how riverine hydrologic connectivity and tidal regime affected spatial genetic structure. We found striking differences in the structure of diversity, clonal growth, and relatedness in different tidal ...

With coral reefs in global decline and further threatened by growing anthropogenic impacts, effective strategies for restoring these critical ecosystems are increasingly sought after. In Caribbean reefs, where disease outbreaks and fishing pressure have reduced herbivore abundances and facilitated widespread phase shifts from coral to algal dominance ...

Spatial and seasonal variability in elemental content, δ13C, and δ15N ofThalassia testudinum from South Florida and its implications for ecosystem studies [PDF]
Elemental and isotopic composition of leaves of the seagrassThalassia testudinum was highly variable across the 10,000 km2 and 8 years of this study. The data reported herein expand the reported range in carbon:nitrogen (C:N) and carbon:phosphorus (C:P ...

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.

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

Habitat Configuration Alters Herbivory across the Tropical Seascape [PDF]
There exists increasing evidence that top-down ecological processes, such as herbivory are key in controlling marine ecosystems and their community structure. Herbivory has the potential to be altered by numerous environmental and ecological factors that

Micobiota endófita de Thalassia testudinum König en el Caribe colombiano
Se evaluó la presencia de hongos endófitos en hojas de Thalassia testudinum a través del secuenciamiento de la región ITS encontrando abundancias de Ascomicetos (35,9 %), Basidiomicetos (2,9 %) y un alto porcentaje (60 %) de secuencias no clasificadas dada la limitada base de datos existentes.
