Nursery function of tropical back-reef systems (2006, background): “More recently, nonestuarine back-reef system habitats have been determined important juvenile habitats for species that live on the reef as adults (Doherty 2002, Nakamura & Sano 2004, Doherty et al. 2004).”
High connectivity of Indo-Pacific seagrass fish assemblages with mangrove and coral reef habitats (2008, background): “…no ecological basis has been provided to explain the observed patterns (Kochzius 1999, Dorenbosch et al. 2006); therefore, understanding of seagrass fish assemblage connectivity is poor, particularly within the diverse Indo-Pacific region (Kochzius 1999, Nakamura et al. 2004, Unsworth et al. 2007).”
Tidal fish connectivity of reef and sea grass habitats in the Indo-Pacific (2007, methodology): “The shallow water coastal habitats of this region are characterized by intertidal sea grass beds lying between fringing coral reefs and the shoreline, a representative system across large sections of the Indo-Pacific and Indian Oceans (Salita et al., 2003; Nakamura & Sano, 2004).”
Diel trophic structuring of seagrass bed fish assemblages in the Wakatobi Marine National Park, Indonesia (2007, background): “Studies in other areas of the Indo-Pacific have found fewer species over much larger spatial scales ( Nakamura and Sano, 2004; Dorenbosch et al., 2005).”
