Coralline rhodophyta are one of the reef groups most vulnerable to synergistic warmer temperatures, and ocean acidification.

Here, we studied mineralogy, microstructure, and chemistry of adjacent coralline rhodophyta systems in La Paz Bay: <em>Neogoniolithon trichotomum</em>-dominated tidal pools, and rhodoliths from a shallow rhodolith bed at San Lorenzo channel. These systems depicted mineral diversity, including different phases of high-magnesium calcites in rhodoliths. The carbonates in <em>N. trichotomum</em> included Mg-calcite, aragonite, ankerite, and Fe-carbonates. Compositional X-ray maps of calcium and magnesium in rhodoliths reproduce very well the concentric growth band-structure. In a complementary way, the bands richest in calcium are the poorest in magnesium, and vice versa. They are most likely related to the high-magnesium phases detected by bulk XRD-Rietveld, as indicated by their similar EPMA-WDS Mg:Ca ratios. Chemical imaging at the microscale revealed iron was distributed in the primary mineral structure, in contrast with detritic elements, such as Al and Si, located in the algal surface (perithallus). Because algal elemental content is sensitive to environmental conditions, La Paz Bay coralline rhodophyta systems emerge as interesting models to monitor high-magnesium carbonate, in a scenario of tropicalization.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8273,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Botany","volume":"198 ","pages":"Article 103851"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143146465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Differences between growth forms and the relationships between ecosystem functioning and environmental conditions can be described by functional traits. Seasonal variation in functional trait expression can lead to alterations in ecosystem functioning. As such, when inferring trait-environment relationships, a species’ functional niche should capture this temporal variation. However, it is unknown how functional traits in macrophytes vary seasonally, and the importance of between-growth form variation. Using hypervolume analysis and linear mixed effect modelling, we demonstrate that seasonal trait variation within-growth forms is stronger than between-growth form variation over time. We found that emergent macrophytes have significantly (p &lt; 0.01) higher specific leaf area in June compared to September. Whereas leaf nutrients (total nitrogen and phosphorus), are significantly higher early in the growing season for emergent, floating rooted, and submerged plants (p &lt; 0.05). We show that the large functional niche of submerged macrophytes is shaped by seasonal variation, and that the functional niches of all macrophyte growth forms overlap, suggesting redundancies in the maintenance of ecosystem functions. Together, this study demonstrates the influence of seasonal variation on macrophyte functional traits. Thus, seasonality is relevant to our understanding of aquatic ecosystem functioning and must be considered when determining the ecological role of macrophytes across a season. This study provides rationale for further examinations of between-growth form redundancies in the ecological role of macrophytes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8273,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Botany","volume":"197 ","pages":"Article 103852"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143170167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using 13 nuclear microsatellite loci, we analyzed genetic diversity and structure of <em>S. pectinata</em> subpopulations along the southeastern shoreline of the main lake and inside Crescent Island Crater, a peripheral lake basin enclosed within the rim of an extinct volcano. Results revealed a predominantly sexual reproductive strategy with limited clonal expansion in the main lake contrasting with pronounced clonal growth in the crater basin. Each subpopulation experienced recent bottlenecks. Crater basin subpopulations exhibited the strongest divergence, lower clonal diversity and larger-sized clones. We explain this differentiation by the exposed crater rim acting as barrier, isolating the crater basin from the main lake during recent decades when low water levels prevailed, accompanied with less negative impact from alien species than in the main lake. Clonal extension occurred on steep-sloping hard sandy substrates, that likely prompted local reproductive adaptations.
