Ocean current patterns drive the worldwide colonization of eelgrass (Zostera marina)
Currents are unique drivers of oceanic phylogeography and thus determine the distribution of marine coastal species, along with past glaciations and...

Shelter availability reduces the effects of the invasive Red Swamp Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) on eelgrass-dominated clear-water lakes: a mesocosm approach
Shelter availability is one of the key features governing crayfish habitat quality. It can directly influence crayfish’s individual survival of by...

Combined transcriptome and proteome analysis reveal the key physiological processes in seed germination stimulated by decreased salinity in the seagrass Zostera marina L.
BackgroundZostera marina L., or eelgrass, is the most widespread seagrass species throughout the temperate northern hemisphere. Unlike the dry seeds...

A somatic genetic clock for clonal species
Age and longevity are key parameters for demography and life-history evolution of organisms. In clonal species, a widespread life history among...

Sandy beach wrack as a resource: nutrient quality explains amphipod preferences but not temporal variation
Sandy beach invertebrates depend largely upon allochthonous inputs of macrophytes and the oceanographic processes that deliver them as wrack. While...

Effects of the invasive red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) on eelgrass-dominated clearwater lakes: the role of bioturbation
The invasive red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii (Girard, 1852) can affect freshwater ecosystems, their macrophyte communities in various ways. To...

Habitat alteration by invasive European green crab (Carcinus maenas) causes eelgrass loss in British Columbia, Canada
Dominant, habitat-forming plant species, such as seagrasses, are key components of coastal ecosystems worldwide. Multiple stressors, including...

Growth of juvenile black rockfish (Sebastes melanops) during estuarine residence
Many juvenile fishes have specific habitat requirements, and while some habitats may be more important than others for growth and survival,...

Variation in flexural, morphological, and biochemical leaf properties of eelgrass (Zostera marina) along the European Atlantic climate regions
Seagrasses need to withstand hydrodynamic forces; therefore, mechanical properties such as flexibility or breaking resistance are beneficial for...
