We have a limited understanding of habitat use and behavior in nearshore fish communities
because they are rarely observed in situ. Consequently, ecologists recommend a process …

Ecosystems are intricately linked by the flow of organisms across their boundaries, and such
connectivity can be essential to the structure and function of the linked ecosystems. For …

Humans have urbanised and fragmented landscapes across the globe, with detrimental
impacts to biodiversity, habitats and food webs in most biomes. Urbanisation might also …
