    Prevalence and intensity of oyster parasite species following a reef restoration experiment in Quonochontaug Pond, Rhode Island, USA from 2017-2020

    Intraspecific variation in host susceptibility to individual parasite species is common, yet how these effects scale to mediate the structure of diverse parasite communities in nature is not as well understood. To address this knowledge gap, we tested how host genetic identity affects parasite communities on restored reefs seeded with juvenile oysters from different sources – a regional commercial hatchery or one of two wild progenitor lines. We assessed the prevalence and intensity of three micro- and two macro-parasite species for four years following restoration. Despite the spatial proximity of restored reefs, oyster source identity strongly predicted parasite community prevalence across all years, with sources varying in their relative susceptibility to different parasites. Oyster seed source also predicted reef-level parasite intensities across space and through time. Our results highlight that host intraspecific variation can shape parasite community structure in natural systems, and reinforce the importance of considering source identity and diversity in restoration design.

    Supporting Spartina: Interdisciplinary perspective shows spartina as a distinct solid genus

    In 2014, a DNA‐based phylogenetic study confirming the paraphyly of the grass subtribe Sporobolinae proposed the creation of a large monophyletic genus Sporobolus, including (among others) species previously included in the genera Spartina, Calamovilfa, and Sporobolus. Spartina species have contributed substantially (and continue contributing) to our knowledge in multiple disciplines, including ecology, evolutionary biology, molecular biology, biogeography, experimental ecology, biological invasions, environmental management, restoration ecology, history, economics, and sociology. There is no rationale so compelling to subsume the name Spartina as a subgenus that could rival the striking, global iconic history and use of the name Spartina for over 200 yr. We do not agree with the subjective arguments underlying the proposal to change Spartina to Sporobolus. We understand the importance of both the objective phylogenetic insights and of the subjective formalized nomenclature and hope that by opening this debate we will encourage positive feedback that will strengthen taxonomic decisions with an interdisciplinary perspective. We consider that the strongly distinct, monophyletic clade Spartina should simply and efficiently be treated as the genus Spartina.

    This dataset includes outputs from statistical analyses of differences in microbial taxa (amplicon sequence variant or ASV) abundance among two groups of seagrass, Zostera marina, genotypes: those that showed reduced Labyrinthula zosterae parasites when warmed vs those that showed increased L. zosterae parasites when warmed; and two seawater temperature treatments: ambient or elevated +3.2oC. Data were collected as part of a mesocosm study at the Bodega Marine Laboratory examining the independent and interactive effects of warming, host genotypic identity, and host genotypic diversity on the prevalence and intensity of infections of seagrass by the wasting disease parasite L. zosterae. These data were published in Schenck et al (2022). Related sequence data from this experiment is accessible from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) BioProject PRJNA716355.
