Vegetated marine and freshwater habitats are being increasingly lost around the world.
Habitat restoration is a critical step for conserving these valuable habitats, but new …

We reviewed seagrass landscape studies on nekton (fish and larger mobile crustaceans) to
summarise:(1) patterns of nekton abundance in relation to patch attributes; and (2) models …

The oceans cover the majority of the Earth's surface; they influence our climate and provide
a valuable source of food to billions of people. Yet despite its fundamental impact on our …

Marine soft sediments comprise one of the largest and oldest habitats in the world, yet
remarkably little is known about patterns of species richness. Here I present a short review of …

The concept of ecosystem goods and services and the approach of a linked social–
ecological system were used to identify and describe the interactions between humans and …

Accurate wave height prediction along the shore plays an important role in coastal
protection and management. To account for the effect of submerged vegetation in wave …

We investigated the influence of seagrass canopies on the benthic biodiversity of bacteria
and macroinvertebrates in a Red Sea tropical lagoon. Changes in abundance, number of …

Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review remains one of the most cited
sources in marine science and oceanography. The ever increasing interest in work in …

Fragmented habitats are a common occurrence in many marine systems, but remain poorly
studied in comparison to their terrestrial counterparts. Here, I show that crustaceans …

Biologically generated structures create habitat and influence the distribution and
abundance of species in many marine systems. In the rather monotonous and nutrient-poor …
