Effect of nursery habitat degradation on flatfish population: Application to Solea solea in the Eastern Channel (Western Europe) (2010, background): “However, averaging over several years is consistent with the concept of effective habitats (Dahlgren et al., 2006).”
The food limitation hypothesis for juvenile marine fish (2015, background): “…is possible to quantify essential and effective juvenile habitats (i.e., the overall 12 contribution from specific habitats to the adult population; Dahlgren et al. 2006), from habitat 13 suitability models (Norcross et al. 1997, 1999, Guisan and Zimmermann 2000, Beck et al. 14 2001, Le Pape et…”
Chemical archives in fishes beyond otoliths: A review on the use of other body parts as chronological recorders of microchemical constituents for expanding interpretations of environmental, ecological, and life‐history changes (2017, background): “…individuals (Wolff et al. 2013), stock contributions to fisheries (Rude et al. 2014), and the identification of effective nursery habitat (sensu Beck et al. 2001; Dahlgren et al. 2006) for endangered species and those of management concern (Smith and Whitledge 2011b; Phelps et al. 2012).”
Spatial fisheries ecology: Recent progress and future prospects (2008, background): “Such focus is necessary to unravel the processes that regulate species distribution, but it may be misleading when extended to the identification of species habitat quality (e.g., Dahlgren et al., 2006).”
Nursery function of tropical back-reef systems (2006, background): “…including, but not limited to, nursery habitats, which make a greater than average contribution to adult populations on a per unit area basis (Beck et al. 2001), and effective juvenile habitats, which make a greater than average total contribution to adult populations (Dahlgren et al. 2006).”
The role of seagrass meadows, mangrove forests, salt marshes and reed beds as nursery areas and food sources for fishes in estuaries (2017, background): “The lack of measurements of foraging success, growth and survival of juvenile fishes in different estuarine plant habitats versus other estuarine areas is hampering definitive statements regarding the nursery value of these particular habitats for individual fish species (Dahlgren et al. 2006).”
Are coastal habitats important nurseries? A meta‐analysis (2019, background): “Dahlgren et al. (2006) argued that earlier work ignored habitats that may contribute relatively fewer individuals to the adult population, but are nonetheless critical to maintaining the population, particularly in years of high variability in juvenile recruitment (Kraus & Secor 2005).”
Effects of shoreline armouring and overwater structures on coastal and estuarine fish: opportunities for habitat improvement (2017, positive): “Nursery function of shallow habitats has conventionally been assessed by measuring output of juveniles to adult populations (Beck et al. 2001; Dahlgren et al. 2006); however, habitats can be more directly assessed by examining specific processes and dynamics that facilitate fish development.”
The seascape nursery: a novel spatial approach to identify and manage nurseries for coastal marine fauna (2015, neutral): “In the above example, the extensive seagrass beds provide the largest overall contribution to the adult populations (e.g. Verweij et al. 2008) and would be identified as the main nursery habitats using the Dahlgren et al. (2006) approach.”
