Review of nekton patterns and ecological processes in seagrass landscapes (2006, background): “…review of Robbins and Bell (1994) and/or the continued fragmentation of seagrasses resulting from anthropogenic impacts (Short and Wyllie-Echeverria, 1996), there was a surge in the number of studies addressing seagrass landscapes, which culminated in a review of edge effects by Bell et al. (2001).”
Effects of propeller scarring on macrofaunal use of the seagrass Thalassia testudinum (2003, methodology): “Faunal responses to natural seagrass edges are a current theme in the seagrass literature (Bologna & Heck 1999, 2002, Frost et al. 1999, Bell et al. 2001), but there is little information on the responses of fauna to scarring, although Bell et al. (2002) found few large-scale differences in fauna…”

Seagrass habitat disturbance : how loss and fragmentation of eelgrass Zostera marina influences epifaunal abundance and diversity (2006, background): “Effects of seagrass loss and fragmentation on epifauna The effects of seagrass habitat loss and fragmentation on faunal abundance, survival and diversity appear to be inconsistent among taxa, regions, and through time (reviewed by Bell et al. 2001).”
Quantitative estimate of commercial fish enhancement by seagrass habitat in southern Australia (2014, background): “However, a review of the published literature suggests that seagrass patch size does not have any consistent impact on the resident fauna (Bell et al., 2001).”
