Seagrass is a globally vital marine resource that plays an essential global role in combating
climate change, protecting coastlines, ensuring food security, and enriching biodiversity …

We investigated the advantages and disadvantages of light microscope (LM)-based
identifications and DNA metabarcoding, based on a 312-bp rbcL marker, for examining …

Seagrass meadows are highly dynamic, particularly in sites where extreme climatological
events may produce a mosaic of patches with different ages. This study evaluates the …

As seagrass meadows are increasingly threatened by warming oceans and extreme heating
events, it is critical that we enhance our understanding of their ecosystem response to heat …

Today's genomics workflows typically require alignment to a reference sequence, which
limits discovery. We introduce a unifying paradigm, SPLASH (Statistically Primary aLignment …

Estuarine and coastal wetlands have great potential as carbon sinks; however, the carbon
fluxes that occur in unvegetated tidal flats remain largely unknown. The CO 2 flux of tidal …

The current article focuses on the morphological and molecular characterization of the often
inconspicuous genus Amicula. This recently erected genus from brackish and marine …

This study investigated differences in total biomass (ash-free dry weight) of the periphyton
and autotrophic biomass (chlorophyll-a content) of benthic diatoms in the absence or …

Climate change will modify the marine ecosystem in several ways, but the effects of
changing climate on benthic diatoms, which are one of the most important photosynthesizing …

During a survey of benthic diatoms from the coral reefs of the Indian Ocean (Scattered
Islands) and Pacific Ocean (Tuamotu Archipelago), an interesting monoraphid diatom was …
