This study examined the response of tropical seagrass species Thalassia testudinum to a combination of heat and hypoosmotic stress. These two stressors are of major importance,...

We measured the free phenolics content of the seagrass leaves of the different species. Seagrass samples for this analysis were taken in nearby meadows in Snake Island, an...

We deployed underwater cameras (GoPro Hero3) to measure the abundance of predators of T. gratilla. According to previous literature, the main fish predators of T. gratilla in...

We mapped the seagrass meadows in the study area to calculate the total area covered by each seagrass species and the extent of the overgrazing of T. gratilla. The mapping was...

To determine the gut content of T. gratilla, we sampled 10 sea urchins along a transect parallel to the coastline and transported them to the Institute of Marine Sciences (Stone...

We measured the % carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) content of seagrass leaves. We took three seagrass leaf samples in five meadows of each seagrass species (T....

To assess the sea urchin distribution across the seagrass species, we measured the sea urchin density in three monospecific meadows (T. ciliatum, C. serrulata and H. uninervis)...

We measured seagrass leaf area and canopy height. We took six biomass cores in random points in the study site Changuu Island. We then measured with a ruler the canopy height...

We studied the grazing of tropical seagrass species by the sea urchin Tripnesutes gratilla in relation to seagrass traits and abundance. The inception of this project happened...
