Seagrass meadows are disappearing at rates comparable to those reported for mangroves, coral reefs, and tropical rainforests. One of the main causes their decline is so-called cultural eutrophication, i.e., input abnormal amounts nutrients derived from human activities. Besides impact eutrophication a local scale, occurrence additional stress factors such as global sea warming may create synergisms in detriment seagrass meadows’ health. In present study, we aimed evaluate if plants...
Seagrasses are marine flowering plants providing key ecological services and functions in coasts estuaries across the globe. Increased environmental changes fueled by human activities affecting their existence, compromising natural habitats ecosystems’ biodiversity functioning. In this context, restoration of disturbed seagrass environments has become a worldwide priority to reverse ecosystem degradation recover functionality associated services. Despite proven importance genetic research...
DNA methylation (DNAm) has been intensively studied in terrestrial plants response to environmental changes, but its dynamic changes a temporal scale remain unexplored marine plants. The seagrass
Posidonia oceanica is a key foundation species in the Mediterranean providing valuable ecosystem services. However, this particularly vulnerable towards high coastal nutrient inputs and rising frequency of intense summer heat waves, but their combined effect situ has received little attention so far. Here, we investigated effects addition during an unusually warm over 4-month period, comparing different morphological, physiological biochemical population metrics seagrass meadows growing...
Seaweeds are important components of near-shore ecosystems as primary producers, foundation species, and biogeochemical engineers. Seaweed communities likely to alter under predicted climate change scenarios. We tested the physiological responses three perennial, turf-building, intertidal rhodophytes, Mastocarpus stellatus, Osmundea pinnatifida, calcified Ellisolandia elongata, elevated pCO2 over 6 weeks. Responses varied between these species. E. elongata was strongly affected by high ,...
In the era of globalization, we find different digital tools that have contributed to evolution internet, allowing user become an active entity produces and transmits information. Podcasts are audio recordings excellent teaching learning tool for creating disseminating academic content. The objective this bibliographic research is compare educational experiences on use podcasts in higher education. methodology used hermeneutic, exhaustive selection articles papers was made responded...
The continuous worldwide seagrasses decline calls for immediate actions in order to preserve this precious marine ecosystem. main stressors that have been linked with are 1) the increasing ocean temperatures due climate change and 2) inputs of nutrients (eutrophication) associated coastal human activities. To avoid loss seagrass populations, an “early warning” system is needed. We used Weighed Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA), a systems biology approach, identify potential...
