Predation is ubiquitous in nature and can be an important component of both ecological and
evolutionary interactions. One of the most striking features of predators is how often they …

Global overfishing of higher‐level predators has caused cascading effects to lower trophic
levels in many marine ecosystems. On coral reefs, which support highly diverse food webs …

In Mediterranean subtidal rocky reefs, Cystoseira spp.(Phaeophyceae) form dense canopies
up to 1 m high. Such habitats, called 'Cystoseira forests', are regressing across the entire …

Intertidal seagrass beds occur throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific region and several
studies have shown that small fishes inhabit them when inundated during the tidal regime …

Differentials between the invertebrate biodiversity of seagrass (S) and of adjacent bare
sediment (B) were investigated at 8 localities spaced along the axial gradient of an estuarine …

Prey refuges are an important mechanism by which habitat structure affects ecological
communities. In freshwater fish communities, most research has focused on aquatic …

Intertidal macrobenthic faunal assemblages of a dual seagrass/callianassid-structured
sandflat system were investigated in subtropical Moreton Bay, Queensland. Consistently …

Predator–prey interactions can be influenced by habitat at different spatial scales. In
seagrass systems, blade density can provide refugia for prey at fine scales, which are further …

Topographic complexity is a key component of habitats that influences communities by
modulating the interactions among individuals that drive population processes such as …

Macrophyte-formed habitats are important components of coastal temperate seascapes.
They usually host higher diversity and density of fishes, including both adult and juvenile …
