Summary Oxygen and sulphide dynamics were examined, using microelectrode techniques, in meristems rhizomes of the seagrass Thalassia testudinum at three different sites Florida Bay, laboratory, to evaluate potential role internal oxygen variability invasion episodes sudden die‐off. The differed with respect shoot density sediment composition, an active die‐off occurring only one sites. Meristematic content followed similar diel patterns all high during day hyposaturation relative water...
Two new species of marine epiphytic Antarctic diatoms are described based on observations from light and electron microscopy. Pseudogomphonema minutum sp. nov. gracile were found the rhodophyte Georgiella confluens (Reinsch) Kylin in Peñon Uno, Potter Cove, King George Island, Antarctica. is characterized by small heteropolar gomphonemoid valves with filiform raphe branches that gradually curve to mantle, a complete absence pseudosepta. The central area P. nov wide reaches valve margin...
A field experiment was employed in Florida Bay investigating the response of seagrass epiphyte communities to nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) additions. While most variability community structure related uncontrolled temporal spatial environmental heterogeneity, P additions increased relative abundance red algae-cyanobacterial complex green algae, with a concomitant decrease diatoms. When N added along P, observed changes diatoms were same direction as P-only treatments, but responses...
Three new species of Tursiocola are described from the skin West Indian manatee bringing total number known in genus to seven. The range morphological diversity within is greatly expanded. poroid rows on copulae no longer a valid characteristic for separation ceticolous Epiphalaina. presence butterfly-like structure central area former at present best criterion separating 2 genera. 3 accounted nearly 90% all diatom valves skin. No other taxa previously as cetaceans were manatee.
Medlinella amphoroidea gen. et sp. nov. is described from the dorsal neck skin of loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta). The presence girdle septa, multiple copulae, and marine epizoic habitat are characteristic features shared with many species in similar Tripterion, Chelonicola, Poulinea genera. semi-lanceolate valve shape, asymmetric face distinct ventral striae, volate pore occlusions distinguish these accounted for up to 50% all diatom valves on examined turtles. Examination type...
Tursiocola denysii sp. nov. is described from the dorsal neck skin of loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta), bringing total number known species in genus to eight. A gradient striae density on valve face, low length:width ratio valves, radiate at mid-valve, and a second partial row pores valvocopulae are characteristics that expand range morphological diversity within genus. The different morphology pars interior exterior valvocopula for first time T. accounted up ca. 40% all diatom...
Marine spirorchiid trematodes are associated with morbidity and mortality in sea turtles worldwide. The intermediate hosts remain unknown, discovery efforts hindered by the large number great diversity of potential within turtle habitats, as well for low prevalence overdispersion. A high-throughput DNA extraction polymerase chain reaction–based method was developed to detect internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) region ribosomal gene genera, Learedius Hapalotrema, pooled samples gastropod...
Abstract It has been known for a long time that marine mammals, such as whales and dolphins, host very specific epizoic community on their skin. Whether or not similar exists the carapaces of sea turtles is less studied. The present paper describes two new diatoms from genus
