• Organic carbon dynamics in mangrove ecosystems : a review (2008, background): “These may further serve as important food sources for transient fauna (e.g., Sheaves and Molony, 2000) and a number of species are commercially important and are harvested for food consumption (Rönnbäck, 1999; Rönnbäck et al., 2003; Walters et al., 2008).”
• RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF MANGROVES AS FEEDING HABITATS FOR FISHES: A COMPARISON BETWEEN MANGROVE HABITATS WITH DIFFERENT SETTINGS (2007, background): “…form a major feeding habitat for fish and macrozoobenthos in some parts of the Indo-Pacific (e.g., Rodelli et al., 1984; Marguillier et al., 1997; Sheaves and Molony, 2000; Chong et al., 2001; Guest and Connolly, 2004) this importance is refuted in other parts of the Indo-Pacific (e.g., Bouillon…”
• Primacy of seascape connectivity effects in structuring coral reef fish assemblages (2012, background): “…L. russelli and goldspotted rockcod Epinephelus coioides recruit to mangrove-lined creeks and shallow reefs as juveniles and migrate tidally to feed in mangroves before moving to offshore reefs at larger body sizes (e.g. Blaber 2000, Sheaves & Molony 2000, Newman 2002, Meynecke et al. 2008a).”
• Depth variation in terrestrial particulate organic matter exploitation by marine coastal benthic communities off the Rhone River delta (NW Mediterranean) (2004, background): “Differences in diet usually explain most isotopic signature variation in fishes, either between species (Lee 2000, Sheaves & Molony 2000) or between habitats within species (Camusso et al. 1998, 1999).”
• Mangrove-Exported Nutrient Incorporation by Sessile Coral Reef Invertebrates (2009, background): “The moderate to high export of NPP has led various researchers 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 suit”
• The habitat function of mangroves for terrestrial and marine fauna: a review (2008, background): “In turn, benthic invertebrates are a source of food for vertebrate predators including shallow-water fishes that enter the mangroves at high tide (Sheaves and Molony, 2000).”
• Are Caribbean mangroves important feeding grounds for juvenile reef fish from adjacent seagrass beds (2004, background): “The few stable isotope studies done on fishes in mangrove-lined estuaries or bays also show depleted carbon signatures in mangroves (Rodelli et al. 1984, Marguillier et al. 1997, Lee 2000, Sheaves & Molony 2000).”
• The role of seagrass meadows, mangrove forests, salt marshes and reed beds as nursery areas and food sources for fishes in estuaries (2017, background): “Certain large predatory fish such as Ephinephelus malabaricus and Lutjanus argentimaculatus have been recorded preying extensively on sesarmid crabs (Sheaves and Molony 2000) that are closely associated with the mangrove leaf food chain.”
• Consequences of ecological connectivity: the coastal ecosystem mosaic (2009, background): “For instance, connecting corridors comprise only small proportions of river drainages but, in providing links between habitats, contribute disproportionately to ecosystem function (Wissmar 2004, Sheaves & Johnston 2008).”
• Relative importance of interlinked mangroves and seagrass beds as feeding habitats for juvenile reef fish on a Caribbean island (2004, background): “Recent stable isotope studies have confirmed that these fishes assimilate the food sources obtained from the mangroves (Rodelli et al. 1984, Marguillier et al. 1997, Sheaves & Molony 2000).”
• The importance of mangroves, mud and sand flats, and seagrass beds as feeding areas for juvenile fishes in Chwaka Bay, Zanzibar: gut content and stable isotope analyses (2006, background): “Similar to what was observed by Sheaves & Molony (2000), Bouillon et al. (2002b) and Kieckbusch et al. (2004), however, this value is much more depleted as compared to either fish species (Sheaves & Molony, 2000; Kieckbusch et al., 2004; this study) or to most of the macroinvertebrates (Hsieh et…”
• Are there really few piscivorous fishes in shallow estuarine habitats (2001, background): “For instance, the flathead Platycephalus fuscus is a specialist, shallow water, estuarine piscivore (Sheaves & Molony 2000), endemic to eastern Australia.”
