• Review of nekton patterns and ecological processes in seagrass landscapes (2006, background): “Larval supply has been considered important in shaping patterns of increased nekton densities in smaller patches (McNeill and Fairweather, 1993) and at patch edges (Bologna and Heck, 2002).”
• Effects of propeller scarring on macrofaunal use of the seagrass Thalassia testudinum (2003, background): “The direct loss of habitat that normally occurs during a scarring event has led to the assumption that this type of disturbance has a detrimental effect on seagrass faunal communities.”
• Invertebrate dispersal and habitat heterogeneity: Expression of biological traits in a seagrass landscape (2010, background): “Edges of seagrass beds may exhibit higher abundances of settlers, and higher animal density and production than interior parts (Bologna and Heck, 2002; Warry et al., 2009).”
• Seascape ecology of coastal biogenic habitats: advances, gaps, and challenges (2011, background): “Fewer data are available on infaunal responses to seagrass patch edges, but the density of polychaetes has been shown to peak at patch edges in different regions and seagrass landscapes (UK: Bowden et al. 2001; Australia: Tanner 2005; USA: Bologna & Heck 2002), although opposite patterns (i.e. inter”
• Edge effects in patchy seagrass landscapes: The role of predation in determining fish distribution (2011, background): “Invertebrate abundances can increase (Bologna and Heck, 2002), decrease (Sanchez-Jerez et al.”
