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 …

Historic declines in oyster populations have resulted in diminished production of ecosystem
services and habitat function in many estuaries. Due to the important role of oysters in …

Across many temperate coastlines worldwide, kelp habitat has degraded to be replaced by
alternative reef‐states with consequences to ecosystem functioning. Identifying both causes …

There have been significant conceptual advances for identifying nursery habitats within
coastal systems used by juvenile fishes and crustaceans. The approaches for delineating …

Intertidal reefs of Crassostrea virginica (eastern oyster) provide ecologically valuable habitat
in estuaries along the Atlantic coast of North America. In Mosquito Lagoon, a shallow-water …

Living shorelines (LS) stabilize eroding banks while providing more natural habitats and
creating a gentler slope for enhanced migration of flora and fauna migration as sea levels …

Eelgrass (Zostera marina) meadows are important fish habitats in temperate coastal areas.
Understanding the relationships between seascape patterns—the spatial and temporal …

Mussels form dense three-dimensional beds that serve as habitat to other species. In rocky
shores, these beds are often interspersed by gaps due to patchy dislodgement/mortality …

The neuston layer represents a complex community inhabiting the interface where
oceanographic and atmospheric processes interact. Here, our aim was to compare patterns …

Gorgonians (like corals) are important habitat-forming organisms that support a diversity of
macrofauna. This study explored structural attributes of gorgonian gardens formed by rose …
