• Faunal impact on vegetation structure and ecosystem function in mangrove forests: A review (2008, background): “T. palustris also consumes propagules of A. marina and Rhizophoracea, and thus it influences mangrove restoration and regeneration (Plaziat, 1984; Dahdouh-Guebas et al., 1998; Dahdouh-Guebas, 2001; Fratini et al., 2004; Bosire et al., 2008).”
• RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF MANGROVES AS FEEDING HABITATS FOR FISHES: A COMPARISON BETWEEN MANGROVE HABITATS WITH DIFFERENT SETTINGS (2007, background): “…(mostly Littoraria spp. and Terebralia sp.) and insects, which are all known to feed on either mangrove leaves, detritus, micro-epiphytes, diatoms, or mud from the mangrove habitats (Slim et al., 1997; Bouillon et al., 2002a; Ólafsson et al., 2002; Skov and Hartnoll, 2002; Fratini et al., 2004).”
• Mangrove macrobenthos: Assemblages, services, and linkages (2008, background): “Molluscan and, particularly, decapod macrobenthos have been reported to process large quantities of mangrove leaf litter (Robertson, 1986; Slim et al., 1997; Lee, 1998; Fratini et al., 2004; Proffitt and Devlin, 2005), profoundly changing the physical and chemical nature of this organic matter.”
