• Critical evaluation of the nursery role hypothesis for seagrass meadows (2003, methodology): “Another issue regarding the data in Nagelkerken et al. (2000) is that in some of the habitats they studied (e.g. coral reefs) adults were also inextricably included in their data sets.”
• Effects of the invasive seagrass Halophila stipulacea on the native seagrass, Syringodium filiforme, and associated fish and epibiota communities in the Eastern Caribbean. (2012, background): “For example, only dult yellowtail snapper Ocyurus chrysurus were captured in searass beds in Dominica, yet O. chrysurus is typically found in the uvenile stage, not as adults, in these seagrass beds elsewhere in he Caribbean (Nagelkerken et al., 2000, 2001).”
• Effect of temperature and salinity on otolith element incorporation in juvenile gray snapper Lutjanus griseus (2006, methodology): “…and salinities used in the present study encompass those occupied by juveniles Lutjanus griseus in the wild (Starck & Schroeder 1970, Chester & Thayer 1990, Nagelkerken et al. 2000) and there- fore provide a realistic test for using otolith chemistry to infer environmental history of individuals.”
• Degree of Fragmentation Affects Fish Assemblage Structure in Andros Island (Bahamas) Estuaries (2004, methodology): “Estuaries are a critical component of Caribbean island coastal zones that serve as important nursery habitat for commercially important species such as Nassau grouper Epinephalus striatus (Dahlgren and Eggleston 2001) and spiny lobster Panulirus argus (Acosta and Butler 1997).”
• Variation in fish density, assemblage composition and relative rates of predation among mangrove, seagrass and coral reef habitats (2005, background): “For instance, studies conducted in Curaçao and Florida by Nagelkerken et al. (2000a) and Mullin (1995), respectively, observed a relatively larger number of fish species shared between habitats (mangrove and reef in Curaçao and mangrove and adjacent open water for Florida) suggesting the movement…”
• Tidal and diel changes in the structure of a nekton assemblage in small intertidal mangrove creeks in northern Brazil (2004, background): “…important fish nurseries (Robertson and Duke 1987; Davis 1988; Robertson and Duke 1990; Sasekumar et al. 1992; Laegdsgaard and Johnson 1995; Laroche et al. 1997; Nagelkerken et al. 2000) because they provide advantageous conditions for growth in a protected habitat (Laegdsgaard and Johnson 2001).”

• 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…”
• 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,…”
• Seagrass nurseries contribute to coral reef fish populations (2008, background): “In this study we link d13C recorded in muscle tissue and otoliths to life history movements of the coral reef fish Ocyurus chrysurus (yellowtail snapper) collected from two nonestuarine embayments harboring seagrass beds (Spanish Water Bay and Piscadera Bay) and from their adjacent coral reefs on th”
• Habitat utilisation by juveniles of commercially important fish species in a marine embayment in Zanzibar, Tanzania (2005, background): “…in mangroves (Nagelkerken and van der Velde 2002); 3) some marine embayment habitats were used specifically as an intermediate life-stage habitat (Nagelkerken et al. 2000b; Nagelkerken and van der Velde 2003), and 4) multiple marine embayment habitats could be used by juvenile fish…”
