Effects of excluding sea turtle herbivores from a seagrass bed: Overgrazing may have led to loss of seagrass meadows in Bermuda
Protecting a Thalassia testudinum-dominated seagrass meadow from grazing by sea turtles for 1 yr caused an increase in the biomass of seagrasses and an increase in the structural com- plexity of the…

Validating Livanow: molecular data agree that leeches, Branchiobdellidans, and Acanthobdella peledina form a monophyletic group of oligochaetes.
TLDR
Results provide support for the hypotheses that leeches and branchiobdellidans are sister groups, that acanthobdella peledina are sister to them, and that together with the family Lumbriculidae they all constitute a clade within Oligochaeta.

Seagrasses in the age of sea turtle conservation and shark overfishing
TLDR
It is suggested that overfishing of large sharks, the primary green turtle predators, could facilitate turtle populations growing beyond historical sizes and trigger detrimental ecosystem impacts mirroring those on land when top predators were extirpated, including triggering virtual ecosystem collapse.

Water quality, isoscapes and stoichioscapes of seagrasses indicate general P limitation and unique N cycling in shallow water benthos of Bermuda
Abstract. Striking spatial patterns in stable isotope ratios (isoscapes) and elemental ratios (stoichioscapes) of seagrass leaves and the water column nutrients indicate general P-limitation of both…

Introduction to Bermuda: Geology, Oceanography and Climate
The Bermuda islands and shallow platform lie on the top of an extinct Meso-Cenozoic volcano. The islands and the Bermuda Platform were created by reef building corals, vermetid snails and calcareous…

Redescription of the oligochaete genus Propappus, and diagnosis of the new family Propappidae (Annelida : Oligochaeta)
Oligochaetes (Naididae, Tubificidae, Enchytraeidae and Alluroididae) of Guyana, Peru and Ecuador
TLDR
One of these is only the second reported species of Brinkhurstia (Alluroididae) and possesses unusual, single, very elongate penial setae, which is pertinent to tests of different hypotheses about historical and phylogenetic relationships among organisms of northern and southern South America and North America.

  • 1 April 1983
TLDR
Four species of the enchytraeid oligochaete genus Marionina from intertidal habitats are added to the British Columbia species list and M. nevisensis is elevated from a subspecies of M. achaeta Lasserre because of structural differences of their spermathecae and seminal vesicles.
