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

Shallow-water tropical coastal habitats, such as mangroves and seagrass beds, have long
been associated with high primary and secondary productivity. The ubiquitous presence of …

Habitat structural complexity influences biotic diversity and abundance, but its influence on
marine ecosystems has not been widely addressed. Recent advances in computer vision …

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

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 …

Sea urchins are one of the most common seagrass macro-grazers in contemporary
seagrass systems. Occasionally their grazing rates exceed seagrass growth rates, a …

Applying a broader landscape perspective to understand spatio-temporal changes in local
populations and communities has been increasingly used in terrestrial systems to study …

Seascape connectivity and configuration of multiple habitats are important features to
include in marine spatial planning, and protecting seascapes with high connectivity is …

Nonreef habitats such as mangroves, seagrass, and macroalgal beds are important for
foraging, spawning, and as nursery habitat for some coral reef fishes. The spatial …

Diverse taxa from many systems must make tradeoffs between food and safety. However,
few studies have examined the response of multiple fish species to food and predation risk …
