“…The red mangrove, R. mangle L. 1753 (Malpighiales, Rhizophoraceae), is an estuarine tree species present along the tropical and subtropical coasts of the Americas, eastern Africa, Bermuda, and a handful of outlying islands in the South Pacific (DeYoe et al, 2020; Proffitt & Travis, 2014; Tomlinson, 2016). Rhizophora mangle typically grows in the intertidal regions of sheltered coastlines, but can also be found in estuaries, tidal creeks, and occasionally along the edges of hypersaline salt pans (DeYoe et al, 2020; Duke et al, 2002). It is a dominant mangrove species across its range, including along peninsular Florida (DeYoe et al, 2020).…”

“…Rhizophora mangle typically grows in the intertidal regions of sheltered coastlines, but can also be found in estuaries, tidal creeks, and occasionally along the edges of hypersaline salt pans (DeYoe et al, 2020; Duke et al, 2002). It is a dominant mangrove species across its range, including along peninsular Florida (DeYoe et al, 2020). Like other mangrove species, R. mangle functions as a foundation species by altering environmental conditions, providing nursery grounds for numerous fish species, and serving as a crucial primary producer within tropical and subtropical estuarine environments (Ellison, 2019; Ellison et al, 2005; Proffitt & Travis, 2005).…”

“…Pollination in this species is mediated by both insects and wind (ambophilous pollen dispersal), which has been shown to effectively promote outcrossing and long‐distance gene flow, but these outcrossing events are thought to be rare (Cerón‐Souza et al, 2012). R. mangle produces viviparous propagules that mature for up to 6 months on maternal trees to lengths of 15–20 cm (DeYoe et al, 2020; Goldberg & Heine, 2017). These propagules have considerable longevity at sea, surviving up to 3–4 months in the water column allowing a great potential for long‐distance dispersal through ocean current transportation (Duke et al, 2002; Rabinowitz, 1978).…”

The capacity to respond to environmental challenges ultimately relies on phenotypic variation which manifests from complex interactions of genetic and nongenetic mechanisms through development. While we know something about genetic variation and structure of many species of conservation importance, we know very little about the nongenetic contributions to variation. Rhizophora mangle is a foundation species that occurs in coastal estuarine habitats throughout the neotropics where it provides critical ecosystem functions and is potentially threatened by anthropogenic environmental changes. Several studies have documented landscape‐level patterns of genetic variation in this species, but we know virtually nothing about the inheritance of nongenetic variation. To assess one type of nongenetic variation, we examined the patterns of DNA sequence and DNA methylation in maternal plants and offspring from natural populations of R. mangle from the Gulf Coast of Florida. We used a reduced representation bisulfite sequencing approach (epi‐genotyping by sequencing; epiGBS) to address the following questions: (a) What are the levels of genetic and epigenetic diversity in natural populations of R. mangle? (b) How are genetic and epigenetic variation structured within and among populations? (c) How faithfully is epigenetic variation inherited? We found low genetic diversity but high epigenetic diversity from natural populations of maternal plants in the field. In addition, a large portion (up to ~25%) of epigenetic differences among offspring grown in common garden was explained by maternal family. Therefore, epigenetic variation could be an important source of response to challenging environments in the genetically depauperate populations of this foundation species.

“…The red mangrove, Rhizophora mangle L. 1753 (Malpighiales, Rhizophoraceae), is an evergreen shrub or tree found along tropical and subtropical coastlines across the Americas, East Africa, Bermuda, and on a number of outlying islands across the South Pacific (Proffitt and Travis, 2014; Tomlinson, 2016; DeYoe et al, 2020) that can grow to heights of twenty-four meters (Bowman, 1917). Poleward expansion of the species is limited by freezing events (its current northern range limit is roughly 29° N latitude; (Proffitt and Travis, 2014; Kennedy et al, 2017).…”

Many coastal foundation plant species thrive across a range of environmental conditions, often displaying dramatic phenotypic variation in response to environmental variation. We characterized the response of propagules from six populations of the foundation species Rhizophora mangle L. to full factorial combinations of two levels of salt (15 ppt and 45 ppt) reflecting the range of salinity measured in the field populations, and two levels of nitrogen (N; no addition and amended at approximately 3 mg N per pot each week) equivalent to comparing ambient N to a rate of addition of 75 kg per hectare per year. The response to increasing salt included significant plasticity in succulence. Propagules also showed plasticity in maximum photosynthetic rate in response to N amendment, but the responses depended on the level of salt and varied by population of origin. Generally, survival was lower in high salt and high N, but the impact varied among populations. Overall, this study revealed significant phenotypic plasticity in response to salt and N level. Propagules from different populations differed in all traits measured. Variation in phenotypic plasticity and propagule survival in R. mangle may contribute to adaptation to a complex mosaic of environmental conditions and response to climate change.

Antecedentes y Objetivos: Los manglares proporcionan beneficios ecológicos y económicos. Además, albergan una alta diversidad de organismos dentro de los cuales están los hongos, que por su versatilidad proliferan tanto en restos vegetales como en la vegetación viviente en estos ecosistemas. No obstante su importancia, el conocimiento micológico en los manglares mexicanos es aún escaso. El objetivo central del presente trabajo es aportar información sobre la riqueza fúngica asociada a Rhizophora mangle, una de las especies arbóreas dominantes en los manglares del Caribe Mexicano.Métodos: Durante el año 2019 se recolectaron ejemplares fúngicos desarrollándose en ramas vivas y muertas, troncos caídos, raíces y hojarasca. Las colectas se efectuaron en manchones con poblaciones de R. mangle en la Reserva de la Biosfera Isla de Cozumel. La determinación taxonómica se llevó a cabo de acuerdo con las técnicas tradicionales en micología. Los ejemplares están depositados en el herbario de la Universidad Veracruzana (XALU) y en la colección de hongos de la Escuela Nacional de Ciencias Biológicas (ENCB).Resultados clave: Se determinarón 20 especies de hongos sobre diferentes estructuras de R. mangle. Se presentan 19 nuevos registros para la Isla de Cozumel, mientras que Arthonia conferta, Halorosellinia oceanica, Phyllosticta capitalensis, Pseudocamarosporium propinquum y Chaetosphaerella fusca son nuevos registros para México. La clase Arthoniomycetes presentó la mayor riqueza taxonómica. Los sustratos con mayor riqueza y abundancia fueron las cortezas de ramas. Conclusiones: La comunidad de hongos asociados a R. mangle esta dominada por ascomicetos. Los hábitos mejor representados son saprobios lignícolas y liquenizados epífitos.
