Seasonal variations of polychaetes in a Thalassia testudinum bed were studied from June 2000 to April 2001 in Chacopata, northeastern Venezuela. Eight replicate samples were taken monthly with a 15 cm diameter core and the sediment was passed through a 0.

Wave‐driven plant reconfiguration modifies light availability in seagrass meadows
Abstract Seagrasses are considered foundation species in marine and estuarine ecosystems by contributing biomass, providing habitat, and damping waves and currents. Globally, seagrass health and primary productivity are threatened by factors that affect light availability, such as shading by algae and epiphytes, self‐shading, and increased water column

Simulated herbivory and the dynamics of disease in Thalassia testudinum [PDF]
An experiment was conducted in a Thalassia testudinum bed in SW Florida to examine the effect of simulated green turtle Chelonia mydas L. herbivory on the intensity of infection by Labyrinthula, which causes wasting disease in seagrass. Four pairs of 4.0 m 2 plots were established at the site, with each pair containing one plot subjected to simulated ...

The South‐east Saline Everglades marl deposition began ca 3200 year BP and the increasing rate of sea‐level rise since 1900 is driving saltwater encroachment at rates that will eliminate freshwater wetlands prior to 2100. The transgressive marl unit is contrasted to other South Florida and global Holocene palustrine depositional environments, providing

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 ...

Field Notes on Thalassia Testudinum Growing Under Stress Conditions
Field observations of Thalassia testudinum Banks ex Konig specimens growing under stress conditions revealed the presence of paracytic stomata on their leaves. Stomata are common to living plants in both land and freshwater environments, but are previously unknown in plants inhabiting salt water environments.

Positive species interactions structure rhodolith bed communities at a global scale
ABSTRACT Rhodolith beds are diverse and globally distributed habitats. Nonetheless, the role of rhodoliths in structuring the associated species community through a hierarchy of positive interactions is yet to be recognised. In this review, we provide evidence that rhodoliths can function as foundation species of multi‐level facilitation cascades and ...
