• Remote Sensing of Mangrove Ecosystems: A Review (2011, background): “Terrestrial fauna, such as birds, insects, mammals, and reptiles, and associated flora, such as fungi, algae, and sea grass, build rich communities with mangroves [26,45,46,48,49].”
• Organic carbon dynamics in mangrove ecosystems : a review (2008, methodology): “The exact dependency of sesarmids on mangrove litter may vary according to the species and sites considered (see above and Cannicci et al., 2008), but two values, 30 and 60% were used to cover a realistic range (Bouillon et al., 2004).”
• Functionality of restored mangroves: A review (2008, background): “Since sesarmids are thought to be key stone species with respect to nutrient recycling (Kristensen et al., 2008; Cannicci et al., 2008), they therefore seem more responsive to ecosystem degradation or restoration.”
• Long-term retrospection on mangrove development using transdisciplinary approaches: A review (2008, background): “It has been estimated that approximately 75% of tropical coasts world-wide were once fringed with mangroves (Chapman, 1976), but at present a world without mangroves is no longer an unrealistic prospect (Duke et al., 2007).”
• The habitat function of mangroves for terrestrial and marine fauna: a review (2008, background): “Competition for mangrove litter has been observed in East African mangroves where many Terebralia palustris (potamidid gastropod) feed on the same leaf to prevent crabs from removing the leaf (Fratini et al., 2001).”
• Mangrove Ecosystems: A Global Biogeographic Perspective (2017, unknown): “This role of grapsid crabs as grazers in mangrove wetlands has also been observed foraging on microalgae and bacteria (Bouillon et al. 2002a; Cannicci et al. 2008; Kristensen 2008).”
• Molecular ecology and biogeography of mangrove trees towards conceptual insights on gene flow and barriers: A review (2008, background): “Despite their unique status as intertidal forests, hosting numerous faunal organisms (Nagelkerken et al., 2008; Cannicci et al., 2008) and providing essential functions and services to tropical and subtropical zones and their populations (Kristensen et al., 2008; Walters et al., 2008), mangroves…”
• Fiddler crab burrowing affects growth and production of the white mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa) in a restored Florida coastal marsh (2009, background): “Given their high abundance and well-known bioturbating activities, Wddler crabs have the potential to inXuence and regulate mangrove production like their counterparts in temperate marshes (Smith et al. 1991; Cannicci et al. 2008; Kristensen 2008).”
