Progression of invasive lionfish in seagrass, mangrove and reef habitats. (2012, background): “…global concern focuses on lionfish’s impact on reefs (Sutherland et al. 2010), evidently the threat also extends to other habitats such as mangroves and seagrass, especially in the context of their nursery function for native species (Nagelkerken 2000, Nagelkerken et al. 2001, Mumby et al. 2004).”
The future of seaweed aquaculture in a rapidly changing world (2017, background): “…populations have a tremendous impact on the quality of coastal and oceanic environments, and coastal aBarbier et al., 2011;Nellemann et al., 2009;Mumby et al., 2004. bBarbier et al., 2011;Nellemann et al., 2009;Waycott et al., 2009; Saintilan et al., 2007. cBarbier et al., 2011; Nellemann et…”
Seagrass structural complexity and landscape configuration as determinants of tropical fish assemblage composition (2008, background): “Since many fish species are highly mobile and shift habitat during their lifetime, the distance among neighboring shallow-water habitats may also influence the abundance and composition of fish communities (Parrish 1989, Mumby et al. 2004).”
Site fidelity and movement patterns of invasive lionfish, Pterois spp., in a Florida estuary (2012, background): “, coral reefs) (Adams et al., 2006; de la Moriniere et al., 2002; Gillanders et al., 2003; Grol et al., 2011; Mumby et al., 2004; Verweij et al., 2007), it is not presently known how lionfish use different habitats through ontogeny.”
Herbivory and the Resilience of Caribbean Coral Reefs: Knowledge Gaps and Implications for Management (2015, background): “For example, the largest herbi - vorous fish in the Caribbean, S. guacamaia, appears to depend on mangroves during its juvenile phase, and mangrove clearing may have led to its local extinction on an isolated atoll in Belize (Mumby et al. 2004).”
Reef fish and habitat relationships in a Caribbean seascape: the importance of reef context (2007, background): “…location (Christensen et al. 2003), reef context (Appeldoorn et al. 2003; Kendall et al. 2003, 2004; Grober-Dunsmore et al. 2004, in press; Mumby et al. 2004) and reef connectivity (isolated versus continuous reefs) (Ault and Johnson 1998; JeVrey 2004) inXuence reef Wsh assemblage…”
Influence of habitat configuration on connectivity between fish assemblages of Caribbean seagrass beds, mangroves and coral reefs (2007, background): “…· Juvenile · Dependence · Seagrass beds · Mangroves Resale or republication not permitted without written consent of the publisher Mar Ecol Prog Ser 334: 103–116, 2007 (Nagelkerken et al. 2002, Halpern 2004) or of single islands (Serafy et al. 2003, Dorenbosch et al. 2004, Mumby et al. 2004).”
The value of estuarine and coastal ecosystem services (2011, background): “…shellfish species utilize mangroves and seagrass beds as nursery grounds, and eventually migrate to coral reefs as adults, only to return to the mangroves and seagrasses to spawn (Layman and Silliman 2002, Nagelkerken et al. 2002, Mumby et al. 2004, Rountree and Able 2007, Meynecke et al. 2008).”
Nursery function of tropical back-reef systems (2006, background): “…populations are supplemented by individuals from juvenile habitats in back-reef systems (Chittaro et al. 2004), and we may also infer from other studies that this process occurs (e.g. Nagelkerken et al. 2000b,c, 2002, Ley & McIvor 2002, Dorenbosch et al. 2004a, Halpern 2004, Mumby et al. 2004).”
