The habitat function of mangroves for terrestrial and marine fauna: a review (2008, background): “Their effects on some mangrove communities are known to exceed that of herbivores (Feller and Mathis, 1997; Feller, 2002).”
Changes in nutrient content and stable isotope ratios of C and N during decomposition of seagrasses and mangrove leaves along a nutrient availability gradient in Florida Bay, USA (2003, background): “While the importance of direct grazing on these plants is receiving renewed attention (e.g. Valentine and Heck, 1999; Feller, 2002), it is thought that the majority of the energy flow from these plants to higher trophic levels occurs via a detrital pathway.”
