Each year millions of larval and 0+ juvenile fishes are recruited into estuarine fish
populations around the world. For several decades the roles of littoral aquatic and emergent …

Mangroves are defined by the presence of trees that mainly occur in the intertidal zone,
between land and sea, in the (sub) tropics. The intertidal zone is characterised by highly …

Coastal ecosystems provide numerous services, such as nutrient cycling, climate change
amelioration, and habitat provision for commercially valuable organisms. Ecosystem …

Aim Connectivity structures populations, communities and ecosystems in the sea. The extent
of connectivity is, therefore, predicted to also influence the outcomes of conservation …

In 2011 humans caught and consumed 78.9 million tonnes of fish, crustaceans, molluscs
and other species groups from the world's oceans, accounting for 16.6% of the world's …

Identification of critical life-stage habitats is key to successful conservation efforts. Juveniles
of some species show great flexibility in habitat use while other species rely heavily on a …

Previous reviews of mangrove biology focused on the more extensive and diverse tropical
examples, with those of temperate regions generally relegated to a footnote. Temperate …

Connectivity has fundamental consequences for the productivity, persistence and
management of coral reefs. The area and position of adjacent mangroves and seagrass can …

Connectivity across the seascape is expected to have profound consequences for the
behavior, growth, survival, and spatial distribution of marine species. A landscape ecology …

Seagrass meadows are regularly used by fish as resident, transient, or nursery habitat.
However, there is a long-standing debate on how spatial variability of seagrass fish …
