TL;DR: This comprehensive global assessment of 215 studies found that seagrasses have been disappearing at a rate of 110 km2 yr−1 since 1980 and that 29% of the known areal extent has disappeared since seagRass areas were initially recorded in 1879.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiation of the Australian Salicornioideae (Chenopodiaceae)--based on evidence from nuclear and chloroplast DNA sequences.
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the expansion of the Australian endemic Salicornioideae most likely occurred during the Late Miocene to Pliocene, when increasing aridity caused the formation of extensive salt lakes along endorheic paleodrainage channels.
Journal ArticleDOI
High connectivity across environmental gradients and implications for phenotypic plasticity in a marine plant
TL;DR: The population of T. testudinum in Florida Bay was studied, and it was found that the population exhibited high levels of genetic diversity suggesting strong recruitment of sexually derived propagules, and models of migration utilizing Bayesian modeling revealed a distinct directionality to immigration counter to models of historical formation of Florida Bay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mega Clonality in an Aquatic Plant-A Potential Survival Strategy in a Changing Environment.
TL;DR: This work describes an ancient seagrass clone of unprecedented size inhabiting a 47 km stretch of a central Florida estuary, the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), amongst the largest clones on earth detected.
