• The importance of mangroves, mud and sand flats, and seagrass beds as feeding areas for juvenile fishes in Chwaka Bay, Zanzibar: gut content and stable isotope analyses (2006, background): “Detailed information on the environmental variables and the fish community structure (and their temporal variation) of Chwaka Bay can be found in other studies ( Lugendo et al., 2005, in press; B. R. Lugendo, I. Nagelkerken, N. S. Jiddawi, G. van der Velde and Y. D. Mgaya, unpubl.”
• Structuring of Indo-Pacific fish assemblages along the mangrove-seagrass continuum (2009, background): “These migrations away from mangroves at low tide are likely to be towards neighbouring deeper habitats such as seagrass beds (Vance et al. 1996, Marguillier et al. 1997, Lugendo et al. 2006), suggesting that the biological connectivity between these 2 habitats is prominent.”
• The role of seagrass meadows, mangrove forests, salt marshes and reed beds as nursery areas and food sources for fishes in estuaries (2017, background): “(2003), indicating that the use of littoral macrophyte habitats by marine fish species is widespread (Lugendo et al. 2005).”
• The habitat function of mangroves for terrestrial and marine fauna: a review (2008, background): “Many fish species occupying lagoons appear to show ontogenetic fish movements between seagrass beds, tidal channels and mangroves (Rooker and Dennis, 1991; Nagelkerken et al., 2000c; Nagelkerken and van der Velde, 2002, 2003; Eggleston et al., 2004; Lugendo et al., 2005), making the individual contr”
• High connectivity of Indo-Pacific seagrass fish assemblages with mangrove and coral reef habitats (2008, methodology): “Juvenile fish found within Indo-Pacific mangroves have often been considered to be of little commercial importance (Laroche et al. 1997, Lugendo et al. 2005).”
• Seagrass structural complexity and landscape configuration as determinants of tropical fish assemblage composition (2008, background): “Lugendo et al. (2005) suggested that similar mechanisms are at work in the western Indian Ocean as in embayment habitats of the more 252 Gullström et al.: Seagrass structure and habitat determine fish assemblages extensively studied Caribbean Sea, where shallow marine embayment systems are entirely…”
