Molecular Identification, Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Activities of the Tropical Seagrass Halophila stipulacea Grown in El-Bardawil Lake, Egypt
Halophila stipulacea a tropical seagrass entered the Mediterranean Sea from the Red Sea after the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869. Up to date, no genetic studies of Halophila stipulacea from El-Bardawil Lake are available. In order to verify the molecular identity of El-Bardawil lake isolates of Halophila stipulacea, employing Random Amplified Polymorphic analysis (RAPD) which carried out usi...
متن کاملAltered juvenile fish communities associated with invasive Halophila stipulacea seagrass habitats in the U.S. Virgin Islands
Caribbean seagrass habitats provide food and protection for reef-associated juvenile fish. The invasive seagrass Halophila stipulacea is rapidly altering these seascapes. Since its arrival in the Caribbean in 2002, H. stipulacea has colonized and displaced native seagrasses, but the function of this invasive seagrass as a juvenile fish habitat remains unknown. To compare diversity, community st...
متن کاملEcophysiological Plasticity and Bacteriome Shift in the Seagrass Halophila stipulacea along a Depth Gradient in the Northern Red Sea
Halophila stipulacea is a small tropical seagrass species. It is the dominant seagrass species in the Gulf of Aqaba (GoA; northern Red Sea), where it grows in both shallow and deep environments (1-50 m depth). Native to the Red Sea, Persian Gulf, and Indian Ocean, this species has invaded the Mediterranean and has recently established itself in the Caribbean Sea. Due to its invasive nature, the...
متن کاملFactors promoting marine invasions: a chemoecological approach.
The Mediterranean Sea is losing its biological distinctiveness, and the same phenomenon is occurring in other seas. It gives urgency to a better understanding of the factors that affect marine biological invasions. A chemoecological approach is proposed here to define biotic conditions that promote biological invasions in terms of enemy escape and resource opportunities. Research has focused on...
متن کاملCombined effects of temperature and the herbicide diuron on Photosystem II activity of the tropical seagrass Halophila ovalis
Tropical seagrasses are at their highest risk of exposure to photosystem II (PSII) herbicides when elevated rainfall and runoff from farms transports these toxicants into coastal habitats during summer, coinciding with periods of elevated temperature. PSII herbicides, such as diuron, can increase the sensitivity of corals to thermal stress, but little is known of the potential for herbicides to...
