Sediment deposition within two Thalassia testudinum seagrass sites in Boca del Drago, Bocas del Toro Archipelago, Panamá [PDF]

, 2018
Research Question Does sediment deposition and composition differ between front and back areas of Thalassia testudinum seagrass beds within two sites on the coast of Boca del Drago, and do these two distinct sites have differences in relative seagrass ...

Carbon acquisition mechanisms in Halophila johnsonii and Thalassia testudinum

Aquatic Botany, 2019
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.

Employing invertebrates to restore herbivory on Caribbean coral reefs: recent developments and remaining barriers

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, May 2025.
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 ...

Morphometric variability and allometric relationships in the seagrass Thalassia testudinum in Florida Bay [PDF]

, 2009
Morphometric variability and allometric relationships were investigated in the seagrass Thalassia testudinum in Florida Bay in 1998 and 1999. Thalassia testudinum is the dominant seagrass in this perturbed estuary and is important to its ecology.

High species richness of epiphytic Mastogloia (Mastogloiales: Bacillariophyceae) on Thalassia testudinum along the coast of Campeche, southern Gulf of Mexico

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2020
Diatoms of the genus Mastogloia are naviculoid forms that are generally easy to discriminate due to the presence of marginal chambers known as partecta.

How much seagrass does a dugong need? Metabolic rate of live wild dugongs, Dugong dugon, determined through indirect calorimetry (oxygen consumption)

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 41, Issue 2, April 2025.
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

Effects of Laurencia and Palisada Spp. on Epifaunal Composition Within Thalassia Testudinum Beds on Abaco, the Bahamas

, 2009
We examined effects of the macroalgae Laurencia and Palisada spp. on epifauna within seagrass beds of Thalassia testudinum. First we conducted a field survey of Thalassia testudinum beds with varying densities of Laurencia and Palisada spp.

Wave‐driven plant reconfiguration modifies light availability in seagrass meadows

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 3, Page 749-763, March 2025.
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

Description of the Late Holocene South‐east Saline Everglades, Florida palustrine depositional environment with comparisons to other Holocene environments

The Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 467-485, February 2025.
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
