• Are coastal habitats important nurseries? A meta‐analysis (2019, result): “Several later studies also supported this assertion (Dorenbosch et al., 2004; Eggleston et al., 2004; Kimirei et al., 2011), even showing that density and growth was greater on coral reefs than in other structured habitats (Grol et al., 2008; Tupper, 2007).”
• Habitat utilisation by juveniles of commercially important fish species in a marine embayment in Zanzibar, Tanzania (2005, background): “These channels are always inundated with water and fishes are known to occupy transient habitats during certain phases of tidal cycles (Chong et al. 1990; Forward and Tankersley 2001; Dorenbosch et al. 2004b).”
• Indo-Pacific seagrass beds and mangroves contribute to fish density and diversity on adjacent coral reefs (2005, background): “…from various studies in the Caribbean support this hypo- thesis and show that the presence of seagrass beds or mangroves significantly influences the composition of the fish community on adjacent coral reefs (Nagelkerken et al. 2000a, 2002, Dorenbosch et al. 2004, Halpern 2004, Mumby et al. 2004).”
• Potential for landscape-scale positive interactions among tropical marine ecosystems (2014, background): “…reefs has been de - monstrated in many studies conducted worldwide (Roberts et al. 1977, Alongi & Christoffersen 1992, Hemminga et al. 1994, 1995, Kitheka 1997, LugoFernández et al. 1998, Koch 2001, Dorenbosch et al. 2004, Mumby 2006, Bouillon & Connolly 2009, Davis et al. 2009, Nagelkerken 2009).”
• Influence of habitat configuration on connectivity between fish assemblages of Caribbean seagrass beds, mangroves and coral reefs (2007, methodology): “For 3 of the 5 species for which a dependence on seagrass–mangrove habitats had been suggested on the neighbouring island of Curaçao (Dorenbosch et al. 2004) and which were also recorded here in seagrass–mangrove habitats (Haemulon sciurus, Lutjanus apodus and L. mahogoni), highest densities were no”
• Fish assemblages in seagrass beds are influenced by the proximity of mangrove forests (2007, result): “This finding is consistent with results from the tropics, where the combination of adjacent mangroves and seagrass can influence assemblages of juvenile fish (Cocheret de la Morinie ` re et al. 2002; Dorenbosch et al. 2004 ).”
