Faunal impact on vegetation structure and ecosystem function in mangrove forests: A review (2008, unknown): “More recently, Werry and Lee (2005) showed that mangrove organic matter is shredded to microscopic fragments of 200 mm in size in the faeces of Parasesarma erythrodactyla (Greenwood and Fielder).”
Mangrove Ecosystems: A Global Biogeographic Perspective (2017, unknown): “The trophic value of this conversion of leaf material, via fecal material, to benefit other invertebrate consumers has been demonstrated as a significant component of mangrove tropho-dynamics (Lee 1997; Werry and Lee 2005).”
Feeding ecology of the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Ocypodidae): food choice, food quality and assimilation efficiency (2007, background): “cantly faster colonised by bacteria compared to whole leaves and that its intake significantly improved the survivorship of two common copepod species ( Werry and Lee 2005 ).”
Mangrove-Exported Nutrient Incorporation by Sessile Coral Reef Invertebrates (2009, background): “... to examine the contributions of mangrove-fixed carbon to adjacent inshore habitats (for example, seagrass beds) and open ocean (for example, Duarte and Cebrian 1996; Sheaves and Molony 2000; Jennerjahn and Ittekkot 2002) including a suite of studies on the incorporation of mangrove production in”
