Mangroves are woody plants that grow at the interface between land and sea in tropical and
sub-tropical latitudes where they exist in conditions of high salinity, extreme tides, strong …

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 …

Mangrove forests are one of the world's most threatened tropical ecosystems with global
loss exceeding 35%(ref.). Juvenile coral reef fish often inhabit mangroves,,,, but the …

The nursery function of various biotopes for coral reef fishes was investigated on Bonaire,
Netherlands Antilles. Length and abundance of 16 commercially important reef fish species …

A critical link missing from our understanding of the nursery role of specific marine habitats is
the evidence of connectivity between juvenile and adult habitats. This paper reviews and …

We present an empirical calibration of the carbonate clumped isotope thermometer based
on mollusk and brachiopod shells from natural and controlled environments spanning water …

Many marine species have a multi-phase ontogeny, with each phase usually associated
with a spatially and temporally discrete set of movements. For many fish and decapod …

Mangroves and seagrass beds are considered important nursery habitats for coral reef fish
species in the Caribbean, but it is not known to what degree the fish depend on these …

The existence of a synthetic program of research on what was then termed the “nocturnal
problem” and that we might now call “nighttime ecology” was declared more than 70 years …

Similar to nearshore systems in temperate latitudes, the nursery paradigm for tropical back-
reef systems is that they provide a habitat for juveniles of species that subsequently make …
