- W2031746148 abstract "A new method for interpreting branching morphology is introduced and demonstrated to be a practical means of assessing ecological events. The “turf” configuration of Laurencia papillosa (Forssk.) Grev. and the vegetative fragmentation of Acanthophora spicifera (Vahl) Børg. are examined on a fringing reef platform at Galeta Point, Panama. Predictions of branching morphology are tested by comparing plants in the fore-reef, that are exposed to intense wave action and potentially large numbers of herbivorous fish, with those in the back-reef, where wave action and grazing are minimal. Differences in plant size, number of branches and length of branch segments, together with the number and location of missing branches, are quantified. It is shown that in some instances branching morphology can be used to test ecological events. There is little difference in the branching structure of Laurencia papillosa in the foreand back-reef. The number and the length of branch segments were similar and few branches were lost to wave action or herbivory. Some grazing of determinate branches occurred on the reef flat, but this had no apparent effect upon branching morphology. Plants in the fore-reef, however, were significantly smaller than those in the back-reef. It follows that fore-reef plants are best characterized as dwarf plants as opposed to a “turf”. The branching morphology of Acanthophora spicifera is altered by wave action in the fore-reef. Plants were shorter and had proportionally fewer branches in the fore-reef than in the back-reef. There was, however, no difference in the length of branch segments between the two areas. Numerous branching scars, resulting from the loss of indeterminate branches, were found. In the fore-reef, the smaller-sized plants of A. spicifera are best explained by vegetative fragmentation." @default.
