The habitat function of mangroves for terrestrial and marine fauna: a review (2008, background): “On the other hand, estuarine or lagoonal habitats and the strong links between them have been neglected in past studies (Sheridan and Hays, 2003).”
The role of seagrass meadows, mangrove forests, salt marshes and reed beds as nursery areas and food sources for fishes in estuaries (2017, background): “Nektonic invertebrates and small fish make extensive use of submerged mangrove detritus as a refuge (Daniel and Robertson 1990; Sheridan and Hayes 2003).”
Progression of invasive lionfish in seagrass, mangrove and reef habitats. (2012, background): “…for the hypothesis that smaller size classes are afforded greater refuge from predators in shallow habitats (see reviews in Heck et al. 2003, Sheridan & Hays 2003) and that choice of these habitats reflects a trade-off between growth and survival, favouring survival at the expense of…”
Fiddler crab burrowing affects growth and production of the white mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa) in a restored Florida coastal marsh (2009, background): “…the world’s tropical coastlines (Chapman 1975; Alongi 2002), provide critical nursery habitats for commercially and ecologically important species (Sheridan and Hays 2003; Nagelkerken et al. 2008), and act as shoreline stabilizers (Carlton 1974), comparatively little attention has been paid to…”
Ocean Acidification and Its Potential Effects on Marine Ecosystems (2008, background): “…provide important nursery areas for juvenile fishes, many of which migrate to coral reefs as adults, and enhance fish diversity and abundance on coral reefs adjacent to these ecosystems (Pollard 1984; Parrish 1989; Beck et al. 2001; Sheridan & Hays 2003; Mumby et al. 2004; Dorenbosch et al. 2005).”
Juvenile coral reef fish use sound to locate habitats (2011, background): “In addition to diel migrations, the grey snapper also undertakes seasonal migrations to more distant spawning grounds located at offshore reefs ( Sheridan and Hays 2003; Luo et al. 2009).”
Water depth modifies relative predation risk for a motile fish taxon in Bahamian tidal creeks (2007, background): “Mangrove complexity in particular has been implicated as a factor that can lower predation risk (Primavera 1997; Rönnbäck et al. 1999; Clynick and Chapman 2002; Sheridan and Hays 2003; de la Moriniere et al. 2004).”
Are coastal habitats important nurseries? A meta‐analysis (2019, methodology): “Two synthetic analyses have updated the earlier suite of quantitative reviews (Heck et al., 2003; Minello et al., 2003; Sheridan & Hays 2003) to include more recent studies.”
