• Sediment mediated species interactions in coastal waters (2002, background): “Seagrasses extend from 90 m depth to mid or upper tidal zones (Den Hartog and Phillips, 2001), and from there on saltmarsh plants (Adam, 1995) or mangroves (Hogarth, 1999) take over under sheltered conditions.”
• Mangrove root: adaptations and ecological importance (2016, background): “…adaptations include the ability to excrete excess salt from leaves, vivipary or the development of the embryo in seeds before they are dispersed, and seeds and propagules having different morphological adaptations that facilitate flotation (Baskin and Baskin 2001; Hogarth 1999; Tomlinson 1986).”
• A baseline study of the diversity and community ecology of crab and molluscan macrofauna in the Sematan mangrove forest, Sarawak, Malaysia (2003, background): “This provides an opportunity to investigate the role of high biodiversity in mangrove ecosystem productivity and stability (Hogarth 1999, Lee 1998).”
• Ecological aspects of seed desiccation sensitivity (2003, background): “Although not possible to explore using our data set, the occurrence of vivipary (hence recalcitrance) in many mangroves has been hypothesized to result from the enhanced establishment success that results via dispersal as a seedling rather than as a seed (discussed more fully in Elmqvist & Cox 1996;”
• Remote sensing techniques for mangrove mapping (2006, background): “Introduction Mangrove forests are part of the coastal environment and stretch throughout the tropics and sub-tropics of the world (Tomlinson, 1994; Hogarth, 1999).”
• Investigations on the antioxidative defence responses to NaCl stress in a mangrove, Bruguiera parviflora: Differential regulations of isoforms of some antioxidative enzymes (2004, background): “They are considered as an ecologically essential component in protecting adjacent land from tidal waves and storm erosion (Hogarth 1999).”
• Characteristics of meiofauna in extreme marine ecosystems: a review (2018, background): “Sediments are characterised by very low concentrations of oxygen (< 3 mol m; Saenger 2002) and, in some cases, they can be completely anoxic (Hogarth 1999).”
• conservation of freshwater and euryhaline elasmobranchs: a review (2005, background): “Mangroves play important roles in estuarine and riverine ecology, but are harvested for charcoal and cleared for aquaculture (principally shrimp) and development of shoreline real estate (Hogarth, 1999).”
• The habitat function of mangroves for terrestrial and marine fauna: a review (2008, background): “One species of mosquito in East Africa, Aedes pembaensis, is known to lay its eggs on the claws of the crab Neosarmatium meinerti, and the larvae develop in the burrow of the crab (see Hogarth, 1999).”
• A Review of Mangrove Biodiversity Conservation and Management (2002, background): “These altered conditions, together with over-exploitation of mangrove wood, have led to a significant decrease in mangrove cover and biodiversity in the Indus Delta (Brown, 1997; Hogarth, 1999).”
