Abstract Purpose of the Review The importance of habitat fragmentation in driving
biodiversity loss has been recently debated. While the negative effects of habitat loss are …

Tropical seascapes rely on the feedback relationships among mangrove forests, seagrass
meadows, and coral reefs, as they mutually facilitate and enhance each other's functionality …

Although it is well established that human activities are linked to the loss of seagrasses
worldwide, the influence of anthropogenic disturbances on the habitat fragmentation of …

Context Seagrass landscapes vary substantially in extent and pattern, resulting from depth
zonation and hydrodynamic stress gradients and may exhibit threshold behavior in …

Restoration is increasingly utilized as a strategy to stymie the loss of coastal habitats.
Coastal habitat restoration has predominantly emphasized designs that minimize physical …

Rapid global degradation of coastal habitats can be attributed to anthropogenic activities
associated with coastal development, aquaculture, and recreational surface water use …

Seed size can have an impact on angiosperm reproductive fitness. Ecological theory
predicts plants that will produce larger seeds in stressful environments to increase the …

This investigation illustrates the spatial and temporal dynamics of a Zostera marina seagrass
meadow affected by clam harvesting. Photointerpretation of satellite imagery corresponding …

Disturbance plays a key role in structuring community dynamics and is central to
conservation and natural resource management. However, ecologists continue to debate …

Edge effects may be important drivers of community dynamics across marine habitat
mosaics. Past research has consistently suggested that within temperate and sub-tropical …
