Structuring of Indo-Pacific fish assemblages along the mangrove-seagrass continuum (2009, background): “…of fish are thought to be common to both seagrass and mangrove habitats (Baelde 1990, Yáñez-Arancibia et al. 1993, Unsworth et al 2008), whilst seagrass beds close to mangroves show greater fish diversity than seagrass beds alone (Nagelkerken et al. 2001, Lugendo et al. 2005, Unsworth et al. 2008).”
Diurnal and Tidal Variation in the Abundance of the Fish Fauna of a Temperate Tidal Mudflat (2002, background): “Fish of the families Haemulidae and Lutjanidae have been shown to undertake daily feeding migrations that are often precisely timed and occur along fixed routes, for distances up to 1000 m (Ogden & Buckman, 1973; Ogden & Ehrlich, 1977; Nagelkerken et al., 2000).”
Diel changeover in sandbank fish assemblages in a neotropical floodplain river (2003, background): “For example, species richness in the surf zone is higher at night (Layman, 2000), but in estuaries species richness is greater during the daytime (Nagelkerken et al., 2000).”
Diet and nocturnal foraging in cardinalfishes (Apogonidae) at One Tree Reef, Great Barrier Reef, Australia (2002, background): “Surveying nocturnal fish during the day is of limited utility because they are generally inactive and their position may not reflect feeding locations (Nagelkerken et al. 2000).”
Marine nurseries and effective juvenile habitats: concepts and applications (2006, background): “Marine ecologists have long recognized that nearshore habitats often support a high abundance of juvenile fishes and invertebrates, many of which utilize different habitats as adults (e.g. Gunter 1967, Lenanton 1982, Blaber et al. 1989, Appeldoorn et al. 1997, Nagelkerken et al. 2000b,c).”
Juvenile coral reef fish use sound to locate habitats (2011, background): “channels and notches during the day, but move out to forage on seagrass beds during the night (Robblee and Zieman 1984; Rooker and Dennis 1991; Nagelkerken et al. 2000; Ouzts and Szedlmayer 2003).”
Diel movements of fishes linked to benthic seascape structure in a Caribbean coral reef ecosystem (2011, background): “Nagelkerken et al. (2000) suggested that intraspecific competition and evasion of predators may lead to inclusion of some patch types that are sub-optimal foraging areas, but offer higher refuge function.”
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): “Mangrove and seagrass habitats are often interlinked through diurnal and tidal fish migrations (Rooker & Dennis, 1991; Vance et al., 1996; Nagelkerken et al., 2000; Dorenbosch et al., 2004).”
Nursery function of tropical back-reef systems (2006, background): “…area adjacent to a bankbarrier reef on a small (<1 km) (Adams & Ebersole 2002) or large (tens of km) scale (Sedberry & Carter 1993), an enclosed lagoon connected through a narrow opening (Nagelkerken et al. 2000b, Adams & Tobias 1999), or estuaries of different salinity regimes (Austin 1971).”
Tidal fish connectivity of reef and sea grass habitats in the Indo-Pacific (2007, background): “An ebbing tide commonly results in a reduction in fish abundance and diversity (Sogard et al., 1989; Nagelkerken et al., 2000) as a consequence of environmental or predatory pressures (Young et al.”
Caribbean mangroves and seagrass beds as daytime feeding habitats for juvenile French grunts, Haemulon flavolineatum (2006, background): “At dusk, Haemulidae and Lutjanidae leave their daytime shelter and migrate to adjacent seagrass beds and sandy seabeds to feed on macro-invertebrates during the night (e.g. Rooker and Dennis 1991; Burke 1995; Nagelkerken et al. 2000b; Ley and McIvor 2002).”
