The role of seagrass meadows, mangrove forests, salt marshes and reed beds as nursery areas and food sources for fishes in estuaries (2017, background): “Work by Jelbart et al. (2007) in the Pittwater Estuary (Australia) has shown that seagrass beds close to mangroves had a significantly higher density of fish, especially juveniles , than seagrass beds far from mangroves.”
Primacy of seascape connectivity effects in structuring coral reef fish assemblages (2012, background): “The focus of other studies in the Pacific, however, has been on assemblages in the seagrass (e.g. Jelbart et al. 2007, Unsworth et al. 2008) and mangrove (e.g. Pittman et al. 2004, Payne & Gillanders 2009) habitats themselves.”
Structuring of Indo-Pacific fish assemblages along the mangrove-seagrass continuum (2009, background): “Many studies have demonstrated that the presence of mangroves increases species density in adjacent seagrass beds (Nagelkerken et al. 2001, Lugendo et al. 2005, Jelbart et al. 2007, Unsworth et al. 2008), suggesting that the presence of mangroves confers some form of advantage to fish.”
Seagrass structural complexity and landscape configuration as determinants of tropical fish assemblage composition (2008, methodology): “Such relationships based on habitat connectivity have rarely been examined for seagrass-associated fish (but see e.g. Baelde 1990, Jelbart et al. 2007).”
