• Deep danger: intra-specific predation risk influences habitat use and aggregation formation of juvenile lemon sharks Negaprion brevirostris (2012, background): “In coastal marine habitats, such as mangroves or estuaries, water depth can change significantly over the tidal cycle (Sheaves 2005).”
• Fish assemblages in seagrass beds are influenced by the proximity of mangrove forests (2007, background): “Few fish can use mangroves exclusively as habitat for either feeding or refuge, and most are forced to use alternative nearby habitats, establishing an interconnected habitat mosaic ( Sheaves 2005 ).”
• Consequences of ecological connectivity: the coastal ecosystem mosaic (2009, background): “…into mangroves from subtidal waters (Kristensen 2008), export of mangrove nutrients to subtidal areas by flushing (Alongi 1996) and tidally migrating fish (Sheaves & Molony 2000), and the importance of seagrass and seagrass epiphytes to nutrition of fish in adjacent habitats (Connolly et al. 2005).”
• Structuring of Indo-Pacific fish assemblages along the mangrove-seagrass continuum (2009, background): “In the Indo-Pacific, tidal ranges are often high and mangroves can commonly be alternately flooded or exposed during the tidal cycle (Sheaves 2005).”
• The role of seagrass meadows, mangrove forests, salt marshes and reed beds as nursery areas and food sources for fishes in estuaries (2017, background): “This situation often arises at low tide in many estuaries when most emergent mangroves and salt marshes, and sometimes even the normally submerged seagrass beds, can be drained of water and become fully exposed (Sheaves 2005).”
• The habitat function of mangroves for terrestrial and marine fauna: a review (2008, background): “, 2000a; Valdés-Muñoz and Mochek, 2001), while fishes from adjacent habitats feed in large intertidal mangroves at high tide (Sheaves, 2005; Lugendo et al., 2007b).”
• Mangroves as fish habitat: 50 Years of field studies (2006, background): “…the study of mangrove fishes beyond pattern recognition towards more ecologically meaningful landscape-scale approaches, including habitat connectivity, suitability, and the contribution of mangrove habitats in support of adult fish populations (e.g. Pittman et al. 2004, Sheaves 2005, Mumby 2006).”
• High connectivity of Indo-Pacific seagrass fish assemblages with mangrove and coral reef habitats (2008, background): “There has been recent debate that has highlighted the lack of available information on the complex ecological mechanisms behind faunal inter-habitat connectivity within many regions of the globe (Dahlgren et al. 2006, Layman et al. 2006, Sheaves et al. 2006).”
• Tidal fish connectivity of reef and sea grass habitats in the Indo-Pacific (2007, background): “Fish must develop effective strategies to maximize the resources of inter-tidal habitats in relation to tidal water movements, thereby optimizing the trade-off between predation risk and food availability (Sogard, 1992; Allouche, 2002; Sheaves, 2005).”
