Seagrass structural complexity and landscape configuration as determinants of tropical fish assemblage composition (2008, methodology): “…the laboratory for shoot biomass after being dried at 80°C for 72 h. Canopy height was determined by measuring 16 seagrass plants in each of 8 randomly placed 0.5 × 0.5 m frames (within each of the 20 selected spots mentioned above), following methodological suggestions by Duarte & Kirkman (2001).”
Structuring of Indo-Pacific fish assemblages along the mangrove-seagrass continuum (2009, methodology): “Although not a commonly used methodology, mangrove UVC studies have previously been conducted in Rhizophora mangrove of both the Indo-Pacific and the Caribbean (Nagelkerken & van der Velde 2002, Dorenbosch et al. 2005, 2007, Aguilar-Perera and Appeldoorn 2007).”
High connectivity of Indo-Pacific seagrass fish assemblages with mangrove and coral reef habitats (2008, background): “…in the Caribbean has recently documented that the value of seagrass and mangrove habitats as a juvenile habitat should not be generalised a priori, since habitat configuration may interact with the degree of connectivity between seagrasses, mangroves and coral reefs (Dorenbosch et al. 2007).”
Tidal fish connectivity of reef and sea grass habitats in the Indo-Pacific (2007, background): “Sea grass and mangrove habitats play a fundamental role in coral reef fish life history (Nagelkerken et al., 2002; Dorenbosch et al., 2007; Unsworth et al., 2007).”
