Habitat complexity: approaches and future directions (2011, background): “…habitat complexity across systems is essential for comparing the relative value of different habitat types (e.g., seagrass meadows, corals, and mangroves, Nagelkerken et al., 2000), as well as for describing general ecological patterns for a more mechanistic understanding of the role of complexity.”
Reef fish and habitat relationships in a Caribbean seascape: the importance of reef context (2007, background): “…reefs with greater areal coverage of seagrass nearby: (1) Settlement and survivorship of some juvenile Wshes may be higher in seagrass communities (Nagelkerken et al. 2000, 2002; Appeldoorn et al. 2003) due to the high-plant diversity (Bell and Pollard 1989), which may facilitate coexistence of…”
The role of seagrass meadows, mangrove forests, salt marshes and reed beds as nursery areas and food sources for fishes in estuaries (2017, background): “Numerous studies that directly compare juvenile fish abundance between mangrove forests and other habitats have also been undertaken (e.g. Robertson and Duke 1987; Thayer et al. 1987; Sheridan 1992; Laegdsgaard and Johnson 1995; Nagelkerken et al. 2000).”
The habitat function of mangroves for terrestrial and marine fauna: a review (2008, background): “Throughout the islands of the Caribbean most mangroves are non-estuarine and small in size (fringing), and typically contain marine species dominated by the families Gerreidae, Haemulidae, Lutjanidae and Scaridae (Rooker and Dennis, 1991; Acosta, 1997; Nagelkerken et al., 2000b).”
Progression of invasive lionfish in seagrass, mangrove and reef habitats. (2012, background): “…global concern focuses on lionfish’s impact on reefs (Sutherland et al. 2010), evidently the threat also extends to other habitats such as mangroves and seagrass, especially in the context of their nursery function for native species (Nagelkerken 2000, Nagelkerken et al. 2001, Mumby et al. 2004).”
Connectivity of reef fish between mangroves and coral reefs: Algorithms for the design of marine reserves at seascape scales (2006, background): “…fish is far from comprehensive (Shulman and Ogden, 1987; Birkeland, 1988; Birkeland and Amesbury, 1988; Sedberry and Carter, 1993; Ley et al., 1999; Nagelkerken et al., 2000b; de la Moriniere, 2002; Ley and McIvor, 2002; Nagelkerken et al., 2002; Nagelkerken and van der Velde, 2002; de la…”
Seagrass structural complexity and landscape configuration as determinants of tropical fish assemblage composition (2008, background): “…habitats, in between an extensive mangrove forest and a deeper coral reef, and that the seagrass channels may operate as tide-related refuges (Dorenbosch et al. 2004a) or as corridors for transient fish undertaking ontogenetic migration from mangrove to coral-reef habitat (Nagelkerken et al. 2000).”
AN EVALUATION OF THE EVIDENCE FOR LINKAGES BETWEEN MANGROVES AND FISHERIES: A SYNTHESIS OF THE LITERATURE AND IDENTIFICATION OF RESEARCH DIRECTIONS (2005, background): “…areas in inshore and estuarine areas than in nearby mangroves (Chong et al. 1994, Laegdsgaard & Johnson 2001) and on coral reefs than in mangroves (Nagelkerken et al. 2000a,b, Cocheret de la Morinière et al. 2002, Mumby et al. 2004); these are likely to be subadult or adult fishes that are…”
Post-settlement Life Cycle Migration Patterns and Habitat Preference of Coral Reef Fish that use Seagrass and Mangrove Habitats as Nurseries (2002, background): “All rights reserved. largely lacking (Ogden & Ehrlich, 1977; Weinstein & Heck, 1979; Rooker & Dennis, 1991; Appeldoorn et al., 1997; Nagelkerken et al., 2000a) and the relative importance of these nurseries to different size-classes of reef fish species is still poorly known (Ogden & Gladfelter,…”
