Terrestrial Laser Scanning Reveals Seagrass Microhabitat Structure on a Tideflat

Remote Sensing, 2015
Local-scale environmental heterogeneity can provide microhabitats that influence the spatial distribution of competing species. Microhabitats may influence the distribution of seagrasses along elevation gradients, but difficulty measuring intertidal ...

Zostera marina on Anticosti Island [PDF]

Nature, 1933
DURING a short visit to Anticosti Island in August this year it was observed that considerable quantities of Zostera marina were washed up on the beach at Ellis Bay. On closer examination it was found that many seeds nearly ripe were present in the material. The conclusion seems warranted that in this area at any rate there are no symptoms of the plant

Mobile consumers influence the shoreward edge of intertidal seagrass ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Ecological paradigms suggest that the environmentally stressful edge of a habitat is determined by physical factors. The work finds that, counter to these paradigms, an environmentally stressful edge can also be impacted by biotic interactions and are more complex than suggested.

300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.

Local competition and metapopulation processes drive long-term seagrass-epiphyte population dynamics [PDF]

, 2013
It is well known that ecological processes such as population regulation and natural enemy interactions potentially occur over a range of spatial scales, and there is a substantial body of literature developing theoretical understanding of the interplay ...

Identification of Two Novel Amalgaviruses in the Common Eelgrass (Zostera marina) and in Silico Analysis of the Amalgavirus +1 Programmed Ribosomal Frameshifting Sites

The Plant Pathology Journal, 2018
The genome sequences of two novel monopartite RNA viruses were identified in a common eelgrass (Zostera marina) transcriptome dataset. Sequence comparison and phylogenetic analyses revealed that these two novel viruses belong to the genus Amalgavirus in ...

Influence of Rising Water Temperature on the Temperate Seagrass Species Eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) in the Northeast USA

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Sea surface temperature (SST) has increased worldwide since the beginning of the 20th century, a trend which is expected to continue. Changes in SST can have significant impacts on marine biota, including population-level shifts and alterations in ...

Geographic Patterns of Head Morphology in Syngnathus typhle Across Marine Regions

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Morphometric analysis of Syngnathus typhle head shape shows distinct geographic patterns across Baltic, North, Atlantic, and Mediterranean marine regions, driven by variation in snout length, head depth, and eye position. Findings provide a non‐invasive baseline for conservation monitoring.

Global patterns in multi‐realm and multi‐habitat ecological restoration: implications for research, practice, and monitoring

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Ecological restoration projects are rapidly expanding in size, complexity, and frequency globally, driven by international agreements and an increased recognition of the efficacy of actions for biodiversity. Upscaling restoration will increasingly necessitate the restoration of multiple physically or functionally connected ...

Seed Storage Conditions for Zostera muelleri Restoration: Effects of Temperature, Salinity and Sterilisation on Seed Contamination, Viability and Seedling Emergence

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 4, December 2026.
The decline of seagrass meadows is a continuing global concern, and seed‐based restoration provides a scalable approach to recovering lost and degraded meadows. Such approaches require large quantities of seed to be collected, processed, and often stored for months until deployment.
