• Habitat connectivity improves reserve performance (2012, background): “Such connections are pervasive in ecology (Sheaves 2009), and their effects can be seen in many terrestrial and aquatic communities.”
• Are coastal habitats important nurseries? A meta‐analysis (2019, background): “A penultimate review by Sheaves (2009) formalized the idea that multiple habitats, with all their inherent processes, tightly link to form the "coastal ecosystem mosaic," and this mosaic more than any particular habitat is critical to maintaining the overall nursery function of coastal areas.”
• The food limitation hypothesis for juvenile marine fish (2015, background): “Habitat structure, 19 refuge opportunities and connectivity between habitats modulate this ecological function 20 (Able 2005, Sheaves 2009).”
• Physical and biological controls on larval dispersal and connectivity in a highly energetic shelf sea (2013, background): “These two processes define two crucial concepts in population biology: self-recruitment, or the capacity of juvenile stages to recruit to the parental population, and connectivity, defined as the dispersal of individuals among local populations (Cowen et al. 2006; Sheaves 2009).”
• The seascape nursery: a novel spatial approach to identify and manage nurseries for coastal marine fauna (2015, neutral): “In many cases the Beck et al. (2001) and Dahlgren et al. (2006) approaches may well identify the broad nursery habitat(s) used by a population, but miss critical mosaics of habitat patches in the seascape that underpin nursery function (Sheaves 2009).”
• Effects of ocean sprawl on ecological connectivity: impacts and solutions (2017, background): “1a; Sheaves, 2009; LaPoint et al., 2015).”
• Primacy of seascape connectivity effects in structuring coral reef fish assemblages (2012, background): “These fish use tidal streams to maximise time at the mangrove fringe, a pattern of mangrove use that is common for large mobile fish in tidal systems the world over (e.g. Sheaves 2009).”
• The role of seagrass meadows, mangrove forests, salt marshes and reed beds as nursery areas and food sources for fishes in estuaries (2017, background): “…conclusive evidence that the juveniles of different coastal fish species have differential degrees of association with coastal macrophyte habitats according to ontogenetic development, with the use of habitat mosaics and consequences for ecological connectivity being emphasized by Sheaves (2009).”
