Evolutionary legacies structure the geography of seagrass traits across the world's oceans
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Traits modulate species' ability to track shifts in climate, yet the extent to which traits have been shaped by the contemporary environment and/or historical processes remains poorly understood. Here, we fill this gap for the world's seagrasses, habitat‐forming species that provide critical ecosystem services.

Global Review of Blue Carbon Ecosystem Microbial Communities
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2025.A thorough review of Blue Carbon Ecosystems' global and regional patterns in microbial diversity, functions, and distribution is currently missing. In this study, we have, for the first time, analysed 70 years (1930–2020) of data on archaeal, bacterial, and fungal diversity and reported functions in mangrove, saltmarsh, and seagrass ecosystems.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 1358-1371, November 2024.New sources of essential and other nutritionally and/or pharmacologically important fatty acids for human use can be discovered through bioprospecting. Demonstrating how fatty acids in plants and algae are distributed across a phylogeny is a critical first step in this process.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.Abstract Genetic diversity can modulate a population's response to a changing environment and plays a critical role in its ecological function. While multiple processes act to maintain genetic diversity, sexual reproduction remains the primary driving force.

Development of microsatellite loci for the endangered seagrass Zostera japonica (Zosteraceae)
Applications in Plant Sciences, 2015 Premise of the study:New microsatellite markers were developed for the Asian endangered seagrass Zostera japonica (Zosteraceae) to assess genetic diversity and population structure of this species. In China, Z. japonica populations have drastically decreased since the 1970s.Methods and Results:A total of 12 polymorphic tetranucleotide microsatellite ...

Flavonoids derived from medicinal plants as a COVID‐19 treatment
Phytotherapy Research, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 1589-1609, March 2024.Abstract The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) causes COVID‐19 disease. Through its viral spike (S) protein, the virus enters and infects epithelial cells by utilizing angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 as a host cell's receptor protein. The COVID‐19 pandemic had a profound impact on global public health and economies.

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 3, Page 446-460, March 2024.Our study highlights the relevance of evolution from common ancestors and shared history underpinning large seagrass phylogenetic structuring. Abstract Phylogenetic signal (PS) is the propensity of closely related species to resemble each other. PS has been tested across clades of terrestrial plants; however, insight for seagrasses is still lacking ...

Larger distribution ranges of seagrasses towards the equator
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 350-355, March 2024.Abstract Aim The description of species' ranges provides biogeographical information to explain fundamental macroecological and evolutionary processes. In this study, we investigated the Rapoport's rule for the world's seagrasses, that is, whether the range extent of seagrasses increases from the tropics to the poles. Location Global. Taxon Seagrasses.

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 2, February 2024.Abstract Seed‐based seagrass restoration strategies demand precise understanding of the environmental drivers influencing flowering. Flowering varies across diverse spatial and temporal scales, yet environmental drivers' effects on these dynamics have received less attention. Lack of knowledge regarding this life‐history stage limits the advancement of
