Effects of a simulated heat wave on photophysiology and gene expression of high- and low-latitude populations of Zostera marina (2011, background): “Importance of seagrass genotypic diversity in resilience to thermal stress has been previously demonstrated (Reusch et al. 2005, Ehlers et al. 2008).”
Climate Change Impacts on Seagrass Meadows and Macroalgal Forests: An Integrative Perspective on Acclimation and Adaptation Potential (2018, background): “Genotypic diversity, as one subset of genetic diversity in clonally growing species, has been shown to increase productivity, and stress resilience in seagrasses and macroalgae (Hughes and Stachowicz, 2004; Reusch et al., 2005; Ehlers et al., 2008).”
Guiding ecological principles for marine spatial planning (2010, background): “Genetic diversity tends to be measured within populations on smaller spatial scales [48], but there are a growing number of studies that measure genetic diversity and heterogeneity across latitudinal gradients.”
Biodiversity and Climate Change: Integrating Evolutionary and Ecological Responses of Species and Communities (2010, background): “Genotypic diversity of the eelgrass, Zostera marina L., was shown to positively affect seagrass ecosystem functioning against global warning (Ehlers et al. 2008), enhancing ecosystem recovery (biomass production, faunal abundance) after large perturbations caused by climatic extremes or massive…”
