Phenotype-environment matching in the shore crab (Carcinus maenas) (2006, background): “Predation rates in dense seagrass habitats are lower than in more exposed habitats for Callinectes sapidus ( Hovel and Lipcius 2002; Orth and Montfrans 2002).”
Edge effects in patchy seagrass landscapes: The role of predation in determining fish distribution (2011, background): “…of habitats including coral reefs (Danilowicz and Sale, 1999; Chittaro et al., 2005), seagrass (Bologna and Heck, 1999; Peterson et al., 2001; Hovel and Lipcius, 2002; Haywood et al., 2003; Horinouchi, 2007a; Gorman et al., 2009) and unvegetated mudflats (Peterson et al., 2001; Haywood et…”
Density, abundance and survival of the blue crab in seagrass and unstructured salt marsh nurseries of Chesapeake Bay (2005, background): “…the J9 instar at about 25 mm carapace width, due to the higher survival and growth conferred by the structure and food in seagrass beds (Pile et al., 1996; Perkins-Visser et al., 1996; Eggleston et al., 1998; Pardieck et al., 1999; Hovel and Lipcius, 2001, 2002; Orth and van Montfrans, 2002).”
The application of predicted habitat models to investigate the spatial ecology of demersal fish assemblages (2010, result): “This Wnding is consistent with recent studies which found measures of habitat heterogeneity (Friedlander and Parrish 1998; Gustafson 1998; Hovel and Lipcius 2002; Friedlander et al. 2003; Hovel 2003; Grober-Dunsmore et al. 2008) and habitat connectivity (Ault and Johnson 1998; Grober-Dunsmore et a”
Biodiversity and the functioning of seagrass ecosystems (2006, background): “Experiments have demonstrated elevated predation rates on juvenile blue crabs in seagrass patches separated by large expanses of sand (Hovel & Lipcius 2002), and clams and scallops also showed lower survival in patchy than in continuous seagrass beds (Irlandi 1994, Irlandi et al.1995).”
Seagrass habitat disturbance : how loss and fragmentation of eelgrass Zostera marina influences epifaunal abundance and diversity (2006, background): “Previous studies have demonstrated that epifaunal survival (Irlandi et al. 1995, Irlandi 1997), density (Hovel & Lipcius 2002), and diversity (Frost et al. 1999, Healey & Hovel 2004) differ among existing seagrass landscapes that vary in habitat cover and configuration.”
Review of nekton patterns and ecological processes in seagrass landscapes (2006, methodology): “Juvenile survival is influenced by within-patch characteristics such as shoot density (Hovel and Lipcius, 2002).”

Effects of seagrass landscape structure, structural complexity and hydrodynamic regime on macrofaunal densities in North Carolina seagrass beds (2002, unknown): “Bivalve survival was reduced in small seagrass patches (Irlandi 1997) and in areas of low seagrass cover (Irlandi 1994, Irlandi et al. 1995) in Back Sound, and blue crab survival and density were lowest in seagrass patches of intermediate size in Chesapeake Bay (Hovel & Lipcius 2002).”
