Water depth modifies relative predation risk for a motile fish taxon in Bahamian tidal creeks (2007, background): “For many species, it is assumed either food availability or predator avoidance, or some combination thereof, are the most likely reasons that species movements are linked to tidal variation (Heck and Thoman 1981; McIvor and Odum 1988; Clark et al. 2003; Ryer et al. 2004; Lehtiniemi and Linden 2006).”
fish–macrofauna interactions in a kelp (laminaria hyperborea) forest (2005, background): “Fish are, however, visual predators and their feeding e⁄ciency may be a¡ected by light levels, thus in some areas ¢sh predation activity has been shown to be higher in daytime than during the night (Clark et al., 2003).”
Tidal and diel changes in the structure of a nekton assemblage in small intertidal mangrove creeks in northern Brazil (2004, background): “This distribution may likely be an effort by juveniles and shrimp to avoid predation from larger fish (Clark et al. 2003).”
Effect of habitat complexity on predation success: re-evaluating the current paradigm in seagrass beds (2009, background): “In nearshore waters where predation is often intense (Orth et al. 1984, Clark et al. 2003), shelter provided by complex habitats such as seagrass meadows can dramatically reduce mortality from predation (see review by Heck & Orth 2006).”
