• Plant–animal interactions in seagrass beds: ongoing and future challenges for understanding population and community dynamics (2005, background): “However, except for a few pioneer studies (Bell and Hicks 1991; Irlandi 1994, 1997; Reusch and Williams 1999; Tanner 2005), less attention has been paid to landscape effects on population and community processes at fine spatial scales.”
• Seascape ecology of coastal biogenic habitats: advances, gaps, and challenges (2011, background): “Other taxa that seem to be edge specialists are tanaids and isopods (Bowden et al. 2001, Tanner 2005).”
• Quantitative estimate of commercial fish enhancement by seagrass habitat in southern Australia (2014, background): “For example, some studies suggest that the density of individuals found in smaller seagrass patches is higher than larger patches (McNeill and Fairweather, 1993) and that some species are naturally more abundant on the seagrass-sand boundary than in the interior of the habitat (Tanner, 2005).”
• The ecological role of bivalve shellfish aquaculture in the estuarine environment: A review with application to oyster and clam culture in West Coast (USA) estuaries (2009, background): “Corridors and habitat fragmentation have been shown to be less important, particularly for many invertebrates with pelagic larvae, but also for more sedentary adults (e.g. bivalves and small polychaetes, Bowden et al., 2001; Tanner, 2005; Cole et al., 2007).”
• Review of nekton patterns and ecological processes in seagrass landscapes (2006, background): “…key elements: (1) Use a design that can both detect a linear gradient of influence (regression model) if it exists and test for non-linear responses such as a categorical, stepped edge influence (i.e. edge versus interior) or some other curvilinear influence (see Tanner, 2005, for an example).”
• Edge effects in patchy seagrass landscapes: The role of predation in determining fish distribution (2011, background): “Toadfish and adult King George whiting feed on similar prey over sand (Robertson, 1980) that includes polychaetes and decapods which have shown patterns of greater abundances on sand close to seagrass thanmore distant sand (Tanner, 2005).”
